Parents of Palestinian and Jewish kids are voicing their concern over whether the Toronto District school Board (TDSB) is doing enough to ensure that kids feel safe at school amid soaring tensions over the Israel-Hamas war.
In a news conference outside of TDSB headquarters Wednesday morning, one group of parents said more needs to be done to make sure that Palestinian kids feel seen and unafraid at school.“In two communications from the director of education and chair of the TDSB, the TDSB unequivocally and rightfully condemned the October 7 killing of Israeli civilians, and clearly named the perpetrators of these attacks,” Nadine Nasir, the Palestinian mom of a six-year-old TDSB student said.
In a statement, the TDSB said that it wants to make sure that all children are being heard and feel safe. Speaking with CP24, Noah Shack of UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, said the conflict should not be “litigated” within the city’s public schools. “At the TDSB, we are focusing on the mental health and well-being of students and staff - many of whom, together with their families, are experiencing pain, grief, anger and fear,” the board said. “We have provided a number resources to the system and TDSB Professional Support Services staff remain available to speak with students who want to talk. At this time, our primary focus remains on creating inclusive environments where students feel safe and respected.
