Look at the demands they are placing on the TWUC, which is publicly funded. How is this not a shakedown?
But none of that was good enough for the TWUC Equity Task Force, whose members issued nine demands, calling for the magazine to be “turned over” for the next three issues to indigenous and other racialized editors and writers, that the next Write editor must be not only be an indigenous writer or writer of colour, but also “active and respected in indigenous sovereignty or anti-racist cultural movements for at least three years,” affirmative action hires for future TWUC office staff, with priority given to indigenous or racialized writers and “writers with disabilities and trans writers,” anti-racist education for all staff and editorial committee members and “a paid equity officer position housed in the main TWUC offices.”
So take all indigenous curriculum and propaganda out of schools and public places, so we are not appropriating their culture.
