A recent report issued by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services revealed that the senior leadership at Ontario's York Region Children's Aid Society was to a large extent racist.
In 2018-19, York CAS provided services to 5,000 families and more than 10,000 children and youth. During this period they carried out more than 4,000 child protection investigations. The Ministry found that Black female staff members were told their look, hair, dress and body shape was inappropriate for the workplace. Black male clients were called thugs and Asian clients were told that they need to speak English properly. In general Black and Asian families were treated with less respect than white ones.
Jill Dunlap, associate minister for children and women's issues made a statement which, long story short, said, ''I want to hear that you guy's have smartened up.''
Governments may do what little they can, but in the final analysis capitalism is a divisive system at all levels.
S.P.C.
