Canada's largest school board has voted to ask the Ontario Human Rights Commission to create a plan that would address caste oppression in the public education system.
The Toronto District School Board voted on a motion related to the caste system – a largely South Asian practice of assigning people their social status at birth – on Wednesday night, after the matter was first raised by trustee Yalini Rajakulasingam.
Trustees at the TDSB meeting said they've heard of students being bullied over the caste they identify with. Ritu Birla, a professor of history at the University of Toronto said the caste system is a complicated form of hierarchal social order, and a person's caste may be identified through things such as their last name, family occupation, diet, or area of origin.
