A school board distributed the teachings of a faculty member who was hired through a race-based initiative to tell staff that families are a product of white supremacy.
The faculty member, Dr. Laura Mae Lindo, focuses her research on "addressing social justice" and was hired at a local university through what is known as a "black hiring cluster." The "equity-based" hiring initiative was for black and "Indigenous" people only, with Lindo being one of 10 ethnicity-based hires.
Given Dr. Lindo's past discourses on "race in comedy" and the "whiteness" of philosophy, her teachings on families should come as no surprise.
'The erasure of the family structure has objectively been a net negative for society.'
Internal training documents obtained by True North reporter Melanie Bennet showed that not only were staff at the Waterloo Region District School Board in Ontario, Canada, given materials that said "family" is a white supremacist term but also that ideas like "objectivity" and a "sense of urgency" are part of a white supremacist culture, as well.
