With the rise of hate and social conservatism, we want to share a clear message of support. There is NO PLACE for hate in the Hammer. Proud to hear of local students stepping up against hate in schools! A shame that they should have to in 2022!
The Liberals have been clear and strict on their policies and efforts against hate, from race and religion to sexuality and gender expression. We can and must do better, though with conservatives having voted against same-sex marriage and being endorsed by anti-abortion groups, the choice is clear. We can't go backwards! So
we choose forward. Cliche as it sounds.
Students at Westmount Secondary School in Hamilton walked out of class on Wednesday to protest what they say is a lack of action from school staff in addressing discrimination.
