As the parent of children streamed to attend Harbord Collegiate and the victim of childhood sexual assault perpetrated at school, I was so grateful to the Star for its articles regarding the sexual harassment of students and a culture of silence surrounding it.
It is shocking that complaints and allegations could have been ignored for five years. It would suggest that the administration condones sexual harassment. Nobody should have to attend a school where the principal seems to think it’s OK for a teacher to poke a female student between the legs with a freezie.
It chills me to think of teachers being silenced about this. Why will the teachers only speak out on the condition of anonymity? Why was former Ontario College of Teachers disciplinary committee member Monika Ferenczy seemingly driven to resign? (more...)
Toronto high school failed to take action on teacher’s ‘sexualized behaviour’ for years, parents say
