Friends of FAIR, It is with heavy hearts that we write to you this afternoon. The leadership of the Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism is deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death of Richard Bilkszto. Richard was involved in the early stages of establishing FAIR in Canada and we are grateful to him for all of his efforts. He volunteered first with the Ontario Chapter and then took the lead in establishing a chapter in Toronto. Richard continued to uphold FAIR principles by supporting school board candidates in promoting pro-human policies and bringing people together around our common humanity. As a teacher, he was passionate about public education that provided the best possible opportunities for ALL students and was a brave voice in defending equal opportunity within his school community. Our thoughts are with his family and closest friends as they grieve.
This is the very real, very cruel and terribly punishing cost of the radicalized woke tyranny…this suffering is undeserved and represents a gross injustice that must not go unchallenged.
The family of this brave man should be entitled to an award from TDSB and that "training institute" for the loss of their loved one. They drove him to it, there should be consequences for their actions. My heart goes out to his friends and family left without him in their lives.
The LGBTQ community has made a point of making the entire world aware when a person within their community is bullied and succumbs to the pressure and depression.
Now it is a regular occurrence where good people who are trying to raise common sense discussions and analysis of the current climate are shut down, silenced and harassed.
My heart goes out to his family and we must all stand up against this tyranny of thought.
I may be liberal but I am NOT woke. We need to break the woke mob.
I am so deeply sorry. Suicide is such a hard loss. My heart goes out to Mr. Bilkszto’s loved ones. “Say not in grief that he is no more but say in thankfulness that he was. A death is not the extinguishing of the light but the putting out of the light because dawn has come” Ravindranath Tagore
Reminds me of the bullying of Reena Virk. Murder by bullying. Dystopian nightmare out of Lord of the Flies. So sickening. The committee should be held liable for involuntary manslaughter? Not sure how the law applies. Hope this truly wakes people up. This is sickening. My heart goes out to his family and community. When is enough, enough? DEI is dangerous. Any neomarxist/Maoist based ideology should not be a Canadian approach. Equality yes. Racism is racism, no matter the color or identity. Identitarianism must stop. Just because academics changed the definition of racism does not make it right.
Its called DIE for a reason. The Diversity, Inclusion, Equity framework really has nothing to do with making a better world, its really about trying to brainwash people into viewing the world as a Manichean struggle between 'oppressor' and 'oppressed' groups of people, as defined by the promoters of these ideas. It is utterly cynical and ultimately based on resentment, which is why when innocent people push back against the obvious exaggerations and manipulations of the trainers, they are castigated as members of the 'oppressor' class, to whom no mercy is given. Its outrageous, toxic and and totally illiberal. All good people must speak against it.
Yes. Resentment is the word, the core of it. There is zero self-awareness. As I think Nietzsche would have it, one's world view can be driven by either resentment or gratitude. There's humility in the latter, only pride in the former.

I hope for comfort and strength for his family and friends. And, I hope justice is still served.
Very sad. The woke have no mercy.
The woke are ruthless and soulless.

I hope the lawsuit can go on especially in context of the last sentence from the lawyers statement.

My condolences and thanks to Richard’s family.
Condolences to Richard’s family and friends. He was someone to be admired - for his integrity, honesty, and advocacy. May his legacy live on.

Stay strong everyone who fights the good fight. RIP Richard.
The sadness of this brave and clearly hardworking soul is painful. Toronto has no idea it’s loss...as the brave die-tyranny flourishes.
To the identitarian school board: be careful who you hate for you will become like them.
So true. So true.
In the name of the Good many inhuman actions are done.
They know how to pave the road to hell.
How do we create awareness and honour his life? How can people help?

100% correct. Only gratitude will bring someone success and happiness in the long term.
