Minister Paul Calandra, how long will you neglect Black students?
Dreams Delayed is about the voices too often ignored in education — students, whose futures were impacted by systemic racism.

Call Doug Ford’s office.
Tell him to remove Paul Calandra as Minister of Education.
1,191 reports of racial harm in schools.
57.8% involve neurodivergent Black children this year.
Flood the lines. Demand accountability.
Black children deserve better.

This is not one incident.
This is a pattern.
A 7-year-old Black, neurodivergent child was harmed by the very people meant to protect her.
We demand a full, independent investigation.
We demand accountability.
Our children deserve safety. Not silence.

Black educators were harmed during a PRP “Safe Schools” training.
Staff were taught to identify “gangs”—every example shown was Black. Blackness was linked to criminality.
This harm follows Black students into classrooms.
Police do not belong in schools.
No to Bill 33.

NOT GUILTY.
The court confirmed this was an accident—not a crime.
A Black child was criminalized for something that was never criminal—while grieving his mom.
The community asked who must be held accountable—here it is.

Dreams are being delayed — by systems, not chance.
The Ministry of Education has the data. Still, silence.
Flood your local MPP’s inbox. Demand they speak up. Demand action.

Trial Day 2:
A child’s play has been reframed as a crime.
What began as a schoolyard game
has resulted in the criminalization of a Black child.
This process carries real consequences, emotional strain, mental stress,
and disruption during a critical stage of development.

@PaulCalandra When will you respond to systemic anti-Black racism in Ontario schools? Tick tock.
We are calling on Minister Paul Calandra to finally respond to Parents of Black Children Canada.
If you agree racism is wrong, what’s the delay?
You have until April 8.
No response? We get louder.

On March 27, 2025, consistent with its mandate to address systemic racism, the OHRC released the Dreams Delayed Action Plan. Addressing racial discrimination, including anti-Black racial discrimination and harassment in schools is the foundational place to start.

Day 1 made it clear — this case shouldn’t be happening.
Kids were playing. The school knew.
Only one child was punished. A Black child.
Charged at 13. On trial at 15.
Community showed up. We continue tomorrow.
Family GoFundMe link coming.
