The National Council of Canadian Muslims is demanding the chair and director of the Peel District School Board resign after an independent investigation into the school board revealed rampant and unresolved racism. “We are asking, in no uncertain terms, that the Chair and the Director of Education immediately resign,” the NCCM statement read. “To date, as a school board, we have not effectively addressed anti-Black racism. “This cannot go on.”Huggins was appointed by Ontario Minister of Education Stephen Lecce to conduct an investigation of the school board. In her report, Huggins wrote that the school board and director’s office is “lacking both the ability and capacity, and perhaps even more importantly, the will” to address systemic racism and anti-Black racism in the school board.
