Parent Jacqui Testoni, right, confronts Stewart Elgie, son of York Region District School Board trustee Nancy Elgie, following a meeting of the board on Monday in Aurora. "Elgie’s comments have pierced the hearts of black people and made it impossible for us to trust her with overseeing our children," writes Desmond Cole. In a recent piece in the Star defending their mother, two of Elgie’s children wrote that she accidentally slurred Grant because she was suffering from a head injury and mixed up her words. Elgie holds tremendous power over black children. Elgie’s board colleagues can suspend her for the remainder of her term if they choose to investigate her under their code of conduct.
