Last week, the Toronto District School Board held two virtual meetings that lasted seven hours each. In those 14 hours, trustees were set to vote on whether to receive a report on antisemitism in the county's biggest public school system—a report that offered 32 recommendations for confronting and mitigating antisemitism in public schools. Once again, this was to vote on whether to receive the report. Not to enact all 32 recommendations, but simply to accept that it was done. Why did it take 14 hours to discuss? The meetings—which The CJN's education reporter, Mitchell Consky, attended—were bombarded by mostly anti-Zionist delegates who argued that the report should not consider anti-Zionism as a contemporary form of antisemitism. On the other hand, the community saw pro-Zionist activists slam the report for trying to shoehorn antisemitism into a "diversity, equity and inclusion" framework that create a hierarchy of victimhood. Consky joins Avi Finegold and Phoebe Maltz Bovy on Bonjour Chai to explain what went on in those titanic meetings and the shifting politics at play.

Greg Brady, host of Toronto Today focused in on still shoveling out of the massive snowstorm. And that snowstorm meant that the TDSB had its first snow day in years. But weren't we told that students would no longer have school snow days since everyone grew accustomed to online learning during our pandemic lockdown days? Next, Valentine's Day. And what a strange read I came across regarding this Hallmark Day that I think has something to do with chubby cherubs and chocolate.... Did you know there are greeting cards made specifically for your work wife or work husband?!  Also, some interesting new polling numbers.
