No timelines.
No accountability.
Silence in the face of documented harm is not neutral.
It is a decision to delay justice for Black children.
Parents of Black Children is calling on parents, caregivers, and allies to demand immediate action.
Black children’s dreams cannot wait.

Dreams Delayed confirmed what Black families have been saying for generations:
Black students are disproportionately disciplined
Black students are streamed out of opportunity
Black students are not protected when harm occurs
Acknowledging harm without acting on it allows the harm to continue.

A formal public response to Dreams Delayed
Clear timelines and accountability
Immediate steps to implement the PoBC Anti-Black Racism (Sankofa) Framework in Ontario schools
This is about safety.
This is about dignity.
This is about Black children’s futures.
