Racism Reporting Tool Launches for Schools in Canada to Track Anti-Black Incidents

A nonprofit group called Parents of Black Children (PoBC) has launched a racism reporting tool that allows teachers and school staff members to anonymously detail incidents they feel were inappropriately dealt with or unfairly targeted Black students.
Launched this week in schools across Canada, the online tool was prompted by Ontario education officials last year claiming they could not keep accurate data on anti-Black incidents of racism in schools. The group aimed to create an anonymous platform through which to record such incidents ranging from student-on-student bullying to unfair staff hiring practices directly from staff members inside the schools themselves. The PoBC said they plan to release the anonymized stories publicly, adding they are glad to be operating outside of school board bureaucracy.
