A former NDP MP is criticizing “woke school boards” over several recent controversies, saying the actions of the school boards are giving conservatives “ammunition.”
In a Twitter post, Erin Weir, who was the Regina-Lewvan MP from 2015 to 2019 and a member of the federal NDP party from 2015 to 2018, referred to the case of Carolyn Burjoski, a Waterloo, Ont., teacher who was ejected from a January 2022 school board meeting after raising concerns about the age-appropriateness of sexual content contained in some of the library books available to elementary school children.
