A message shared today to CCMA Member Schools: "We call on you as a member of the CCMA Montessori community to reflect upon and to call out injustice, racism, b...ias and social inequality. While the development of empathy and social justice are some of our lofty goals, today, as Canadians, it is our responsibility to turn away from complacency. We call on our community to start at home. We call on our community to educate ourselves about the current and real situations of inequality, racism, discrimination in our own country and to work to eradicate it. We call on our community to understand conscious and unconscious bias and stand against it. We call on our community to listen to each other and together, elevate our practice and our lives and forge a new future. CCMA stands behind and supports our colleagues from the Montessori Center in Minnesota. We all have work to do.
