A Winnipeg Catholic school has released findings from a review on racism at the school, along with an action plan, but a former student and an anti-racism expert have doubts about whether the plan will truly bring systemic change. Roughly 540 students, parents and school staff were twice invited to participate confidentially in the review, said school principal Jaime Siska. His experience dealing with the school's administration about racism led him to believe that the review was more about saving face than stopping racism rooted within the school, he said. Schools that are successful at addressing institutionalized racism assume that it is rooted in policies, curriculum and employees, said Curnow. That approach takes longer, but is something St. Boniface Diocesan will need to do if it wants to properly rid itself of institutionalized racism, she said.
