To Colleen Russell-Rawlins,
Director of Education,
Toronto District School Board

Dear Director,
There appears to be a somewhat peculiar individual on the Parent Involvement Advisory Committee (PIAC) and School Council for Valley Park Middle School.
She makes very disturbing social media posts that are homophobic, sympathetic to terrorism, and peddle false antisemitic blood libel theories.
For example, she is apparently hot and bothered by the idea of former Premier Kathleen Wynne having appeared in a mosque while being "openly gay".
Maybe this one is not the best choice for engagement by the TDSB? Especially these days given stories like this in the Toronto Star?
Perhaps today is a great opportunity to invite her towards the egress?
Best regards,
Michael Teper
