(Toronto Star) The York Region school board has publicly apologized for the anti-Muslim, “discriminatory and disrespectful” social media postings of an elementary school principal.
“The board would like to apologize to the school community for failing to uphold the shared values of respecting human rights, inclusivity and student safety,” says the statement, posted online, about the materials on Ghada Sadaka’s Facebook page.
“In particular, we apologize to the Muslim students, parents and families of Sir Wilfrid Laurier Public School. We recognize that the posts impacted your sense of safety and inherent self-dignity.”
The postings by principal Sadaka — who is no longer assigned to a school, but working centrally at the York Region District School Board — date back to 2016.
