One of my interests in Indigenous Education is around the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and their 94 Calls to Action. Under the Education umbrella, we find the #6 call to action which states: 6. We call upon the Government of Canada to repeal Section 43 of the Criminal Code of Canada. Below is a youtube video created by CanadianRootsOnline and speaks to the call to action released in June 2015. Where has this call to action gone, well the Government of Canada has updates posted. To recap, Section 43 has not been repealed but has been edited to ensure that educators cannot use force against any child. I found it interesting that the laws were not gender neutral.
