There it is: 9:30 a.m. August 20: Dal president Kim Brooks and her board just entered history as the first “leaders” of a U15 in Canada to lockout its faculty.
They have no plan, no mandate, and not one clue.

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.
