#BREAKING: In a huge victory for those of us who opposed the original motion as biased, the @tdsb has amended the motion to bring the @onthumanrights as a neutral observer to study & assess the issue and not hand off the process to some agenda driven activists! Happy Holi! 1/n👏🏾 
The amended motion passed with five dissenters and one abstention. Thanks to the powerful words of Trustee Patel: "@SADAN_Canada could not provide a single instance of documented caste oppression." That's why he voted NO. 2/n
Several trustees voting yes exhibited magical thinking by saying: just because you don't see it doesn't mean it is not there. #NEWSFLASH: that is not how we do science. We test hypothesis with real data before concluding it is there! 3/n
Even the student trustee who should have been able to rattle off examples of oppression in his school could produce NO evidence. We are confident that @OntHumanRights will be impartial and that it's report will confirm what we have been saying all along...4/n
...the diaspora just is not as oppressive as they are accused of being. Just like the @CarnegieEndow study in the US has shown. 5/n
