Earlier this week, the London, ON School Board (TVDSB) issued new “Guidelines for student dress.” In the FAQ of these guidelines, a “Free Palestine” t-shirt was used as an example of school dress which would “promote or incite… violence.” While the School Board quietly removed this example after complaints, we believe that the School Board must apologize to its students and to the Palestinian-Canadian community. This incident was an act of pure anti-Palestinian racism; “Free Palestine” is a call for freedom and equality, not a call to violence!
Use the fields below to send an email to members of the London, ON School Board telling them to apologize for this act of anti-Palestinian racism.
