A Terrebonne mother is taking the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board to Quebec s Human Rights Tribunal, after it refused to pay her the $30,000 in damages the Human Rights and Youth Rights Commission ordered it to pay.
MONTREAL A Montreal-area school board has been told to pay $30,000 in damages to a local family to compensate them for years of racist bullying. But the mother of the Rosemere family, Adrienne Charles, says she s concerned that it won t change anything for other kids. The thing is, the Black kids of that school and school board are being called the n-word and nothing changes, it still continues, she told CTV News. You go to school to learn about math, French, science. Not to deal or struggle with Oh I m Black, okay, what will happen today, will I be called the n-word? You know that s not normal.
