JUST IN: Toronto Beach school called out for posting 'mega exclusionary' Mother's Day message
Some parents in Toronto’s east end are calling out a local school for posting what they claim was a "harmful" and "exclusionary" Mother’s Day greeting on its outdoor message board.
“I don’t know if this is a terribly misguided attempt at wishing folks a happy Mother’s Day or just generally the worst sign possible …,” wrote Dobo. “I don’t feel like this represents the neighbourhood it’s in, the cohort of families at this school, or anything really.”that it should have been a “no-brainer” for the school to post a more inclusive message, especially given the presence of many non-traditional families in the wider community.
Those who shared concerns about the message said that it does not take into account different kinds of families, those with “kids in foster care, kids with two dads, kids who have no contact with their moms, kids who have abusive moms,” who may or may not see their mother figure as the one who holds the “manual” of life.
