Teacher union protesters surrounded the vehicle of Education Minister Stephen Lecce Wednesday as he attempted to leave a public school where he announced new anti-bullying measures.
Lecce, who had been criticized for not visiting a public school during a tense period in negotiations with teacher unions, was able to leave after the vehicle slowly moved through the shouting and placard-waving crowd at Ogden Junior Public School on Phoebe St. in Toronto.
The surrounding of the minister’s car occurred as his vehicle attempted to leave the school grounds.
Some protesters were wearing ETFO-branded clothing, but the union declined to comment on the incident.
so teachers bullying govt reps at anti- bullying rally how ironic
Why aren’t these “so called” teachers in schools teaching?
they are doing it for the kids
Teachers are bullying thugs. Who knew. They are also overpaid and are trying to resist tech changes by their feral behaviour. They make out like they are the saviour of children but all these greedy thugs are doing is protecting their monopoly. These silly buggers are willing to go out on strike to prevent getting three more students. Let them strike until February. I’ve never seen teacher hanging around oil drums burning tires. Lecce start cutting their numbers. They can be replaced by computers.
For a job in a position of authority over children you’d think they would have to be of good morale character. This behavior caught on camera should have consequences .
…Gas ’em!
Oh the irony.
No kidding. What great examples they are.
