Educators for Social Justice - Member's Statement
CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : Mr. Speaker, on World Teachers' Day, I would like to recognize the important work of Educators for Social Justice Nova Scotia.
Founded in 2015, Educators for Social Justice is an independently organized caucus of Nova Scotia Teachers Union members and allies whose goal is to advocate for greater social justice in our schools and communities. Our caucus shares their vision of a robust, well-rounded public education system that supports social justice and actively challenges colonialism, racism, sexism, and all systems of oppression. ESJ is an excellent example of the important contributions that teachers make to our communities inside and outside of their classrooms.
Mr. Speaker, I applaud them for their dedication in working towards a fairer, more equitable society for all.
