Hello everyone, this might seem a bit weird to post on here, but there is a very serious personal issue going on. If you guys don't know, I go to a specialized math and science education program in Toronto, and my school board (TDSB) is trying to shut down all specialized programs. It probably will not happen, but it might.

They say that it is for "equity", and that "everyone should have an equal education". I disagree. This is NOT equity. Equity is not when everyone gets the same education. Equity is where everyone gets the education that they need. People who have a passion for art will have the opportunity to go to an art school. People with a passion for science will have the opportunity to go to a science school. TDSB wants to take this away so that every single student has to go to the same schools.

There is a petition to stop this here. You don't need to, but I would really appreciate it if you do. Thanks, fellow Nerfers.
