STUDENTS TO DECLARE THEY BENEFITED FROM FROM GENOCIDE

   “We acknowledge this sacred land on which George Brown College operates,” it reads. “As settlers or the displanted, we benefit from the colonization and genocide of the Indigenous peoples on this land. In order to engage in resistance and solidarity against the past and present injustices inflicted on the Indigenous people of this land, it is imperative we constantly engage in acts of awareness and decolonization.”
   The form then gives students only two options – to click “agree” or to cancel and ultimately be unable to access their class.
   “By selecting ‘I agree,’ you are indicating your acknowledgement of this statement,” the form reads. “Our intent is not to impose agreeance, but to inform through acknowledgement. This acknowledgement is to generate awareness and offer opportunities for personal reflection.”
