<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">In December 2021, Bill 67, the Racial Equity in the Education System Act, was tabled to ensure educators in Ontario were provided with the tools that they
need to uphold their legal obligation as laid out through Ontario's Education Act: to build inclusive classrooms. While tabling the Bill was a response to community advocacy demanding that schools become anti-racist spaces - spaces that encourage and support
racial equity qua praxis - what ensued raised questions as to the role, purpose, and vision not only for education in Ontario but also for the type of advocacy expected from public officials. This is that story. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
