Résumé

This case describes the experience of a principal named Jade working in a diverse school in South Central Ontario. A teacher in Jade’s school had been confronted by parents and a school board trustee for reading a book to their class about a family with two moms. The teacher eventually decided to switch schools, no longer feeling safe or welcome in the school. Jade would have liked to be more involved in the issue, but given her mounting workload found it difficult to devote as much time as she would have liked. This case is a starting point for discussion with educational leaders and teachers about the challenges of leading and teaching for social justice in a context where many are experiencing work intensification.
