So.. sent an email to @StanChoMPP expressing my concerns re: closing of Science Centre..this was the response I got...."May I have your postal code to ensure you live in Willowdale?"....guess the rest of us don't count. @fordnation #onpoli #ontariosciencecentre
I always find the argument that it “limits free speech” as a rationalization and a faulty defense. Why are other trustees - even those who share Mike beliefs - able speak honestly, defend their positions on an issue and do it within the confines of the code of conduct policy.
It really doesn't. It requires trustees to articulate the decisions made by the board as a whole. It limits personal attacks. It limits defaming the school board. Certainly one can find away to express themselves without violating that, if their goal isn't media attention.
Exactly.

I couldn't agree more. This story and outcome deserves the same "air time" as the accusations, insinuations and misinformation that was amplified by the media.
So, now, the integrity commissioner, a panel of three Judges in Carolyn Burjoski's case and the same panel of Judges in Trustee Ramsay's case find the WRDSB trustees acted “rational and wholly reasonable.” Well no kidding. therecord.com/news/court-rej…
These folks hate indoctrination. They hate it so much. They hate indoctrination so much, they want inscription of scriptures decorating our public school boardroom. Friends, tell me this isn't the best way to stop the indoctrination.
Thoughts on request from a friend? He said: "Could we get this engraved on the wall of the @wrdsb Boardroom"? "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it." [Psalm 34: 13-14]

….hey here’s an idea…@WR_Record
Hey @WR_Record please take note: "can you provide evidence for your claim?" Finally someone is actually attempting to verify claims made by elected officials rather than simply printing them.
Public school is for ALL students….

Thank you 👏👏
Our statement regarding students, gender identity and gender expression. Also available at bit.ly/3YZdYWa
This is a clear and convincing thread. I would very much like for the Record to respond to the critiques and questions being posed here.
Has her column been removed? No Has her column been corrected? No Has any information been provided that would support the original piece? Not that I can find. Why is the @WR_Record holding letters to the editor to a higher standard than their highest profile columnist?
This is verifiably incorrect. The statement and the piece both derided the chair for choosing to submit the complaint to the integrity commissioner. The policy states the chair is required to submit written complaints. The premise of the statement and the piece is incorrect
Truth 👏👏👏
It is dangerous for an elected official to suggest a correlation between bravery and violations of the code of conduct. If a person is unwilling or incapable of engaging in governance without misbehaving, it is not brave or honourable.
This should be required reading for the local media who care about the entire story.....@WR_Record @CityNewsKIT
Part two of my series What the Heck is Going on with the WRDSB? Part 1 was about Mike Ramsay violating the code of conduct and Ed Act gives him the power he craves. But why does our media portray Ramsay without thinking about him critically or asking any questions?
I wrote a letter to the editor about Ramsay therecord.com/opinion/letter…
The problem with only getting Mike's side of the story, is that information he provides is often inaccurate or incomplete. Mike breaks rules specifically so that he can say he's being silenced. He could provide a dissenting view within the rules, but that wouldn't make headlines
Truth..
Understand this, for every formal code of conduct complaint filed against Trustee Ramsay, there have been half a dozen violations where a formal complaint was not brought because trustees don't want to do this.
Please read this!..clear, concise and accurate. Most Trustees are there because they care and want to do what is best for staff and students - in spite of what some local media say. Thanks Scott. @_scott_mcmillan on Thread Reader App threadreaderapp.com/thread/1687630…
excellent thread..our local media would do well to read this and really reflect on the role they play in promoting and making excuses for Mike while painting him as a victim..
Students are not suffering because of the latest WRDSB trustee drama and I have to disagree with a columnist’s claim that they are. Quite the opposite. 🧵
