Almost a year after the Hamas attack on Israel shook the Middle East and
prompted a conflict that continues to reverberate around the world, the Ontario
government is giving school boards strict instructions on how to mark the
anniversary of Oct. 7.

A memo sent to school boards across the province, obtained by Global News, warns
that the government will be paying close attention to how educators handle the
one-year anniversary and how schools deal with the continuing rise in
intolerance.

“As we approach one year since the October 7th attack, we ask all school boards
across the province to uphold this principle and be vigilant in ensuring
classrooms remain safe, inclusive, and welcoming for all students and staff,”
Minister of Education Jill Dunlop wrote in a note to school boards.

The memo instructs school boards to focus on learning and includes a stern
warning about the minister’s “expectation” in provincial classrooms about the
nature of any discussions about world events.

“Our schools and school-related activities should never be used as vehicles for
political protests that enable inflammatory, discriminatory, and hateful
content,” Dunlop said in the memo.

“While everyone is entitled to their own political opinions, they are not
entitled to disseminate political biases into our classroom,” the memo said.

2:16 Pressure on TDSB grows over field trip to downtown protest

The ministerial memo comes amid an ongoing controversy at the Toronto District
School Board after a class trip to attend a demonstration drew criticism.

Ontario’s education minister has asked for an investigation into a now
controversial Toronto field trip that saw students involved with a downtown
protest.

Dunlop ordered a probe into last Wednesday’s field trip to attend the day of
action for Grassy Narrows First Nation and the TDSB said it has launched its own
investigation.

Some parents and other groups, however, complained the trip veered away from
education and into protest and activism.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford blasted the board for the way the trip played out —
and accused some educators of planning to “indoctrinate” students.

“I think it’s disgraceful — you’re trying to indoctrinate our kids,” he said,
claiming the protest had been a “Palestine rally” in Toronto.

Ontario Premier Ford says

Dunlop’s memo, sent on Thursday, said the province is experiencing a
“distressing rise in intolerance, racism, antisemitism, and Islamaphobia across
Ontario, including our schools” and asked boards to create “safe spaces for
students and staff.”

“It is my expectation that every school board will hold itself accountable to
the highest standards under Ontario’s Code of Conduct and govern with respect,
civility and responsible citizenship to ensure schools are free of
discrimination and harassment in every corner of the province,” the memo reads.
