Toronto students forced to wear 'Colonizers' shirts at anti-Israel protest

19. Maybe I just should have said he has a particular point of view.

The word 'agenda' admittedly is a charged word, so I retract that and apologize. But the fact remains that Paternak is himself an activist. I won't go beyond that.

What I'm trying to get across is that the story about teachers 'coercing' their students to 'participate in a protest they know nothing about' seems suspect to me, and I'm certainly not willing to throw teachers under the bus without a lot more convincing evidence that this happened.

As far as I'm concerned this is over and above the Israel/Palestine conflict. This whole thing started with an event in solidarity with First Nations people, concerning pollution that affects their health.

I am waiting for evidence that the teachers intended for their students to take part in a pro-Palestine demonstration, or that they even knew this was going to be an issue at this event.

I don't think Pasternak has any idea about this.
