DEI Working As Intended

The Daily Mail reports that the "Toronto schools launches probe into suicide of principal Richard Bilkszto who killed himself after being 'bullied and harassed' following dust-up with KOJO Institute 'anti-racism trainer' Kike Ojo-Thompson". The article reports:

    Richard Bilkszto, 60, killed himself in July after suing the Toronto District School Board for emotional distress which he says began in spring 2021, when he disagreed with KOJO Institute 'anti-racism' trainer Kike Ojo-Thompson. 

    The KOJO Institute is a for-hire diversity and inclusion consultancy firms that had been brought in by the school board. 

    Now, the board and Canada's education minister are investigating Bilkszto's death and whether the obsession with woke policies may have contributed to it. 

The article continues:

    Ojo-Thompson had been brought in to Burnhamthorpe Collegiate Institute in Etobicoke to teach an anti-racism session.  Bilkszto, who was a teacher for 24 years before retiring, was serving as a fill-in principal. 

    He took issue with Ojo-Thompson's claim that Canada is 'more racist' than the US because it has 'never reckoned with its anti-black history.' 

    When he disagreed politely, she snapped back. 

    'We are here to talk about anti-black racism, but you in your whiteness think that you can tell me what’s really going on for black people?' she responded. 

    Bilkszto tried to de-escalate the situation, according to his lawsuit, but was shouted down by another member of the KOJO Institute who told him his views weren't 'relevant'. 

    A week later, at a second session, Ojo-Thompson said Bilkszto's comments were a 'real life example of resistance in support of white supremacy. ' 

    Bilkszto claimed the disagreement led to him missing out on contract work and that inflicted emotional distress. 

Although the KOJO Institute tried to downplay the incidents, "Canada's Workplace Safety and Insurance Board agreed with Bilkszto and described Ojo-Thompson's comments as 'abusive, egregious and vexatious', " and "[t]he adjudicator said the remarks rose to a level of 'workplace bullying and harassment'." And remember this is from a government that loves wokeness, and even it found the incident egregious. 

    But this may not be the end of the matter. "Since his suicide," the article continues, "a number of other teachers and school workers have contacted his attorney on social media to share similar stories of abuse."

    It's plain as day that the die-hard DEI (or, as I prefer, DIE) supporters hate white people and wish that white people would just die, already. Apparently they got their wish in this case.

  1. I heard they're going to rebrand ESG. Not stop it, rebrand it.

    1. I'd settle for rebranding the people pushing it. The question is whether to brand them on the forehead or on the right hand.
