Ontario government introducing Grade 6 Holocaust education requirement in 2023

History has shown us that genocide and other atrocities begin with hate. Hate begins with words and manifests itself in various forms. Hate speech and hate crimes are the product of ignorance and misunderstanding. The solution is education and awareness combined with promoting kindness, compassion and tolerance.

This is a welcome, positive first step by the Ontario government in the right direction. However, this is one aspect of the multi-pronged approach we have to adopt as par of our collective responsibility to address hate and to prevent further violence in the future.

This step by the Ontario government saves Coalitions, such as #unitedforall time and effort to exert in other areas of their strategic plans https://lnkd.in/eJc-YtaK to effectively address the issue of hate and prevent violence.
