Editor,
Is there more racism in Surrey’s schools or just more people working hard to find it?
That’s my takeaway after learning that the creation of a new manager of racial equity in the school district, despite crippling funding problems, has resulted in a massive increase in reports of racism.
The district hired a Seattle DEI firm two years ago to find out if racism existed. What a shocker when the DEI people found real signals of potential racism and advised spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to begin a new anti-racism program.
None of us should be surprised now that the inevitable result is more racism reports than ever before. How about we spend the money on a real problem by funding special learning centres and helping kids with real issues.
