#b2204 #Antiracism

“Free Kurdistan – Free Rojava” appears one morning in March on a wall at Friedensburg Secondary School (FOS). The slogan is not out of place anywhere.

But for the teachers, it is. And without giving it much thought, they accuse a student of colour, one of our comrades, a Palestinian.

The graffiti looks “like his sort of thing”. They take away his worksheets, wanting to compare his handwriting. Simply because it somehow looks like him.

What does something “look like him”, anyway?
And what exactly is the crime here? The graffiti, or his background, his appearance?

The suspicion cast on our comrade is part of a long-standing pattern of racist harassment, which we condemn and will fight against.

We stand in solidarity with our comrade against any form of racist attack, whether by teachers, the police or anyone else!

2. Honestly assess your leadership team's capacity to hold this work
3. Build protective structures first and ground them in accountability, not discipline

We asked Ibram X. Kendi: Sound or silence?

"I love the loudness of silence, as an introvert."
