SIMPLY stated, racism is built into Canada’s education system. What is new about the government of Manitoba’s Bill 64, however, is that if it is passed into law, it will further entrench systemic racism.
Bill 64 fails to explicitly focus on systemic or equity issues, and proposes changes that actively undermine voices from equity-seeking groups.

The Louis Riel School Division is undertaking a review of its school resource officer (SRO) program, it announced on Tuesday.
Supt. Christian Michalik said the review is long overdue. Just the very presence of an SRO in a school can be problematic for some, he said. I need to hear from students, staff, parents who ve had a direct experience.
