The experience of Richard Bilkszto shows the perils of wokeism and why backlash against diversity, equity and inclusion is growing. Read on.

I might note that Ojo-Thompson has been hired by TDSB, Toronto-Dominion Bank, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Loblaw Cos. Ltd., Canadian Broadcasting Corp. and the federal government and hundreds of other Canadian companies to conduct her “anti-racist” EDI training.

Nobody from TDSB interjected to stop its DEI trainer from berating a staff member. On the contrary, the day after, Bilkszto was reprimanded for his “male white privilege” and the “fallout” from the training. Instead of defending him, the TDSB berated him further. So much for the I in DEI.In the next session, Ojo-Thompson continued to refer to Bilkszto’s comments as an example of “resistance” that upholds white supremacy, implicitly branding this longtime anti-racism activist as a racist.

The TDSB then retaliated, refusing to reinstate Bilkszto in his job after his return, revoked his work contract for the following year and even disinvited him to its awards ceremony.Note the context. The TDSB employs someone to indoctrinate its principals for the very purpose of indoctrinating their teachers and students in turn. When one principal made an informed, mild point in response, he was calumnized, humiliated and abused.TDSB retaliated against Bilkszto for filing a WSIB claim.

In the case of corporations, they should focus on the interest of their shareholders, while educators should focus on educating their students, not wasting the boards’ limited resources on extraneous social initiatives and suppressing the free speech we should require from our educational institutions.Article content
