The TDSB move comes weeks after Seattle became the first U.S. city to outlaw caste discrimination after a city council vote
Since advancing the motion several weeks ago, Rajakulasingam said her inbox has been flooded with emails, many from students recounting discrimination suffered because of the caste they identify with.Article content“A high school student that came forward shared that her family is Dalit so another student found out, and he said to her, ‘If you were a sex worker, no one would pay even a penny for you because you’re a Dalit.
The caste system dates back thousands of years and allows many privileges to upper castes but represses lower castes. The Dalit community is on the lowest rung of the Hindu caste system and have been treated as “untouchables.” Even though India has banned untouchability, Dalits still face widespread abuse across that country, where their attempts at upward social mobility have at times been violently put down.
