“The principal of a diverse Brampton high school” in the Peel District School Board “is on leave after a ‘xenophobic and racist’ comment was made during a virtual staff meeting….Sources told the Star that during a discussion about an enriched science class, the principal is alleged to have made a comment about students learning to build bombs.”
What Julie DeMaeyer said may have warranted a rebuke, but she was forced to take leave as though she was under investigation for a criminal offense. Offense to Islam (including the worst elements) renders one “Islamophobic”, “racist”, “xenophobic” and the like, and oftentimes leads to automatic punishment/dismissal in Canada.
While DeMaeyer is being swiftly punished, here are some serious and noteworthy incidents involving Islamic issues in the same Peel region (bordering Toronto). “Almost one-quarter of all Peel students are Muslim,” and there is obvious pandering to Muslims:
- Another teacher from the Peel District School Board was investigated, but only following an outcry by Jewish groups. Nadia Shoufani called a Palestinian jihadist who crushed the skull of a four-year-old Israeli girl a hero and martyr. She returned to the classroom. Jihad Watch reported about her incitement to hatred and violence in her al Quds rally speech. She also wrote on her Facebook page: “O my people, you have a rifle… O my people, You have Allah and a rifle, or, sorry, perhaps more correctly to say that you have only a rifle, only a rifle, only a rifle. O my people fight/ resist. Whatever was taken by force will never be restored but by force!”
- Upon the announcement that the Islamic call to prayer (a short declaration of Islamic supremacy) would be blasted over loudspeakers during Ramadan, the Peel District School Board Council Chair, Ravi Hooda, lost his temper and posted a sarcastic tweet which was deemed “Islamophobic.” He was immediately fired from the board for it, and also lost his job at RE/MAX.
- Peel Region Sheikh Jaffer H. Jaffer, who participated in an interfaith children’s “peace camp,” had previously preached that Ayatollah Khamenei was a leader “Allah wants to see.”
- Imam Ibrahim Hindy of Dar Al-Tawheed Islamic Centre in Mississauga, who advised the Peel District School Board “on religious accommodation,” was found to have explained on a YouTube video about the Quranic verse on wife beating, without disapproving of the practice.
- The Board also provoked outrage from some concerned parents over allowing unmonitored Islamic sermons in its schools. It was reported at the time that Mayor Linda Jeffrey was “dismissing critics who object to Muslim students having Friday prayer sessions in public schools as purveyors of ‘misinformation and hateful speech.'”
“Peel principal on leave after ‘xenophobic and racist’ comment,” by Kristin Rushowy and Nood Javed, Toronto Star, May 28, 2020:
The principal of a diverse Brampton high school is on leave after a “xenophobic and racist” comment was made during a virtual staff meeting, the Peel public board says.
The Peel District School Board — already grappling with a damning provincial report that found rampant racism and dysfunction — has hired an external investigator to look into the incident and took the unusual step of issuing a public statement about it on Central Peel Secondary School’s website.
Sources told the Star that during a discussion about an enriched science class, the principal is alleged to have made a comment about students learning to build bombs.
“In a discussion related to the placement of students in regional programs, principal (Julie) DeMaeyer made a comment that was xenophobic and racist,” wrote director of education Peter Joshua. “She immediately recognized that her statement was hurtful and discriminatory and apologized for the remark.”
The comment raises “concerns” given the board’s policies, and it is “our responsibility to provide safe and inclusive places to learn and work,” Joshua said, adding that DeMaeyer is now on home assignment “pending the outcome of an investigation.”
He told the Star the probe should not take more than a few days.
“It won’t be long,” he said in a telephone interview. “I really do understand and appreciate the urgency of this matter” and, once a report is filed, the board will “make some decisions about next steps.”
While Joshua would not comment on possible discipline in this case, he said measures, in general, can range from mandatory training to removal from the school or even dismissal.
DeMaeyer could not be reached for comment.
The Peel board has been struggling to address issues of racism — in particular anti-Black racism — as well as dysfunction and divisiveness among senior staff and trustees. Late last year, Education Minister Stephen Lecce sent in three reviewers who issued a scathing report on years of “painful and difficult” incidents that were ignored.
The reviewers also said Islamophobia was a growing concern and they saw French curriculum materials “that were clearly Islamophobic (and) conveyed blatant hostility to the Muslim community.”
Almost one-quarter of all Peel students are Muslim.
Brampton Trustee David Green said he received a call earlier this week from a Central Peel staff member who told him her principal made an Islamophobic comment during a virtual staff meeting…..

How does an enriched science class differ from a non-enriched one?
CogitoErgoSum says
Is it sort of like the difference between enriched uranium and non-enriched uranium?

“the principal is alleged to have made a comment about students learning to build bombs”
Memo to the principal: No need to expend school resources on a subject Muslim students already know, having learned it at home.
Keys says
They are not building bombs, they are making chronometers from dismantled clocks to put in briefcases.
In the USA ClockBoy got recognition from Obama for efforts on his “science project” that some thought looked like a bomb. Obama tweeted, “We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great.” (MAGA)
ClockBoy even got to meet Obama on the south lawn of the White House on “Astronomy Night“.

Keys,
ClockBoy, with help from his family, was deliberately setting his teacher up…
Keys says
Agree, James Lincoln.
C.A.I.R. was quickly involved in lawsuits (one where the family demanded $15 million and a public apology) that went no where (cases dismissed with prejudice and the family ordered to bear all costs of the lawsuit).
The police, Mayor, and School District wanted to release more information (so the reasons for their actions could be clearer) but ClockBoy’s family did not allow it, and in my opinion the “press” was not interested in reporting the officials’ sides.
I enjoy your posts and interactions with other JW posters.
James Lincoln says
Keys,
Thank you for the reply, the added information, and the kind words.
Dude says
Where else are they going to learn to make bombs? Do we want them blowing themselves up trying to follow YouTube instructional videos?
Are our schools not going to provide our kids with the education they will need to live a productive life in today’s society?
It’s difficult enough in Canada not being allowed to buy weapons! The jihadi is forced to use kitchen knives or rocks to vent their hatred. I imagine that kids at recess and while walking home from school just use theirs fists as they mob the kaffirs their parents/imams have told them to hate for god. Idiocy akbhar! Idiocy akbhar! Idiocy akbhar!
DHazard says
I hope there are details to this story that were deemed too Islamophobic to print. From what I gather it seems that somebody used one of the “banned” words and that this simple human “error” led to the bemoaning, blaming and blathering that unfolds when non-Muslims attack each other over who’s the least Islamophobic. The comment itself is neutral, but even if it was delivered with a sarcastic tone the Worldwide conclusion about this teacher’s intentions is just a projection. But, as so often happens when Muslims are outraged or offended, the facts disappear in a sea of confused Westerners trying to wrangle a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist as described by the problem’s (white-Euro-Anglo men) “victims” (all Muslims everywhere in a pretend unity).

The Ontario school system was designed to be a Protestant school system, not an Islamic school system.
Islam has no place in the general school system of Ontario. There are 4,200 different religions. All of those religions should have EQUAL say in the school system or there should be no special treatment for one.
Terry Gain says
Christ was removed from Ontario’s public schools 60 years ago. He has now been replaced in Muslim area by Muhammad. Requiring Muslims to live by the same standards as non-Muslims is Islamopobic. The “best of people” won’t tolerate it.
Eva says
islam has no place on the planet. It’s a sick and twisted death cult and should be eradicated.
Hugh Fitzgerald says
I suspect the principal never mentioned the words “Islam” or “Muslim.” It was those hearing her intended joke –a bit of comic relief, for we can all imagine just how boring those meetings, even if now virtual, must be — something along the Iines of “as long as they aren’t learning to make bombs” who decided she must have been referring to Muslims. They should be fired for making that connection. Subliminal Islamophobia. The worst kind.
And one more thing: the principal should never have apologized for her remark.

Spot on, Hugh.

Canada: Principal in area with nearly 25% Muslim students suspended for quip about students learning bomb-making
………………
How is opposing this “racist”?
And this is in fact *exactly* what many Muslim children are taught. Just look at Gaza.
James Lincoln says
Yes, gravenimage, that’s what many muslim children are taught in Gaza.
To reference that in Canada today is, you guessed it, “islamophobic”…

Too true, James.

Racist? Which race is a moslem? Do snowflakes even know what a race is?

Kenek,
Snowflakes experience severe cognitive dissonance when they run into a Caucasian muslim…

Obviously not. They don’t know what the truth is either.

She “misspoke” and apologized. Imams who say Jews should be killed, that they are descendants of apes, pigs and monkeys claim their words are lost in translation.
The Muslim Brotherhood hoods “ It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.
I say stop demanding, stop telling us how enraged you are, go back to the Middle East and carry on your never ending fight with each other.
Take Soros, the Clinton’s, Obama, Macron, Freeland, Justine, Gates, you know who your collaborating friends are, take them with you and get the hell out of the West. OUR LIVES MATTER, In God we trust.
Giacomo Latta says
The system of Protestant, Catholic and Black school boards in Ontario was initiated around the time of confederation. The idea was to separate people who, perhaps, hated each other and thus society would be best served to keep their youth separated. In spite of this arrangement, or possibly because of it, an incident known as the Black Donnellys occurred. The Donnellys were not black but were Catholics living in a Protestant area and some minor incident became a major one in which the Donnelly home was razed and the majority of the family killed.
I took an education degree in Ontario where a black lecturer was hired to blame whites of being racist by creating a separate school board for them. The Black Donnellys incident did not seem to have any effect on the lecturer. Nowadays the so-called Protestant school board should be called the whatever school board. Unfortunately, the existence of a Catholic school board allows any kind of religion to demand the same treatment. All sorts of religions, no matter how small, demand their own schools and if they can’t have that then they demand special treatment, especially the never-satisfied muslims.
It is time to separate education and religion as much as we have, I was always told, separation of religion and state. Leave social clubs out of it.

Just ask our Muslim Loving PM what the big deal about Muslims is. How about Canadians rights? I don’t mean Homer Khader. Send me 10 mil for being offended by that virtue signaling moron whu gave Homer the 10 mil.

Young Muzzies in Ontar-i-owe have all heard the story of Canada’s famous bombmaker . . . the teenaged Omar Khadar . . . who after killing a US soldier, was tried and sentenced to Guantanimo . . . came home to Canada and was rewarded with 10 Million dollars by the PM Jihad Justin Trudope.
Ontario like Keybec are both well on the way to Europe today . . . Sweden & France are your future.

Instead, the Muslim Brotherhood arranged their move to Qatar.
In October 2015, the family decided to move to Qatar, where Mohamed continued his education in the capital city Doha with a scholarship from the Qatar Foundation for Education and attended Qatar Academy.

What did she say that was either racist or untrue?

Sad story to report. —- 36 family members were killed when a suicide bomber decided to work from home.
Is this story true. NO. Could it be true? Yes Would 36 people live in one house. Yes. Would a Muslim male have four wives? Yes and sex slaves. Could they be children? Yes Are there suicide bombers? Yes they are called martyrs .
Is CAIR the Muslim Brotherhood hoods? Yes
Do Muslim groups and Imams say Islam is compatible with Western democracy? NO
Does Justine Trudeau say Islam is compatible with Western secular democracy? YES
