Top administrators at a Toronto middle school are on leave, and an investigation is underway into how staff handled accusations of prolonged racist bullying that culminated with a white boy allegedly punching a black girl in the face. The Toronto District School Board placed the principal and vice-principal of Glenview Senior Public School on home assignment, beginning Monday. John Malloy, director of education for the TDSB, said the board does not tolerate racist actions or words. The mother says the guidance counsellor was aware of the racist bullying, but believes the school’s principal and vice-principal weren’t informed. Over the weekend, a dedicated Twitter account was created, demanding action of the TDSB in response to the anti-Black racist bullying.
