So there is a wealthy, predominantly white neighbourhood in Saskatoon that is organizing against a PRESCHOOL for Indigenous Children due to ‘impact on the community’. One of the people interviewed suggested it would bring property values down and that they need their ‘peace and quiet’. They’re not even hiding their racism.
Imagine being such a hard-core racist that the thought of Indigenous four-year-olds in your neighbourhood makes you shit yourself out of concern for your vaunted property values.
