Two teachers have been put on leave from a North York high school as the Toronto Catholic District School Board investigates an exchange of racist messages on social media. The incident was first flagged by a student who had access to a shared social media account for a program at James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School. Charline Grant, executive director for Parents of Black Children, said the teachers should have their licences revoked after sharing racist anti-Black messages on a shared social media account. “The principal and the superintendent, from what we have heard, they did not take it seriously initially. She also urges the school board to not “recycle” teachers by transferring them to another school — a solution that happens all too often in these cases, she said.
