National Strategy for Combating Antisemitism in Education
This National Strategy Against Antisemitism brings forward a solution-based approach that can assist school boards, and educators prepare for the 2022-2023 school year. A national strategy requires more education, training, and research; it demands a safe environment and more security and protection for Jewish employees and students; it calls for effective enforcement of the law when necessary to confront hate crime and hate speech; it calls for the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of Antisemitism, and it speaks to a need for engagement in combating hate on social media.

Directed Reading activity: CANADA'S DARK HISTORY
Canada's dark history of racial and ethnic inequity
In efforts to understand one atrocity from another, some draw false equivalences that tend to distort and revise one instance to suit another. In this activity, students will critically analyze and integrate Canada's dark history of racial and ethnic inequity, and consider whether one should be shocked when new atrocities use history as justification.
