G.1 It has been listed below what the DSBN considers the Director of Educations Key Leadership Priorities to be. At this point it is not the applicant’s responsibility to explain if Warren Hoshizaki lived up to the spirt and responsibilities of his title.
G.2 It is now time for Warren Hoshizaki to explain if he did or did not live up to the spirt and responsibilities of his title as Director of Education for the DSBN?
G.3 It is also time for the HRTO to decide if Warren Hoshizaki did or did not live up to the spirt and responsibilities of his title as Director of Education for the DSBN?
G.4 Keeping in mind when deciding if Warren Hoshizaki did or did not live up to the spirt and responsibilities of his title as Director of Education for the DSBN? The applicant had now been;
- Victimized and bullied by Caucasian students who verbally and physically abused him multiple times over a two year period.
- Discriminated against by a Caucasian vice president named Jacqueline Ravazzolo who was willing to imply the applicant was a liar to cover up her own racist actions and maintain her employment with the DSBN.
- Discriminated against by a Caucasian Kevin Maddalena, who had made an abrupt and timely entrance in a conversation after being unmentioned for more than a year in an attempt to defend and protect Jacqueline Ravazzolo, his supervisor from being held accountable for her racist actions.
- Discriminated against by a Caucasian Kevin Maddalena who also implied the applicant was a liar in an attempt to defend and protect Jacqueline Ravazzolo, his supervisor from being held accountable for her racist actions.
- Suspended/expelled for a period of twelve days without cause by the DSBN and Caucasians Warren Hoshizaki , Mary Anne Gage.
- Forced to endure multiple physical assaults, harassment and tormenting by a Caucasian bully named Marcus over a two week period. And when the applicant went to seeking help and assistance from school employees. They refused to intervene and told the applicant he “should play somewhere else” and “find something else to do and keep away from him.”
- Marcus, the Caucasian bully told the applicant that “you are worthless” and “you should kill yourself.” And was allowed to walk away free of any disciplinary punishment by Jacqueline Ravazzolo and Christopher McInnis for his racist and inappropriate behavior.
- Jacqueline Ravazzolo at the approval of Christopher McInnis effectively marginalized the Black applicant’s version of events with the Caucasian bully Marcus as she guilted him into apologizing so he could be the “Good Kid” to a smiling Caucasian bully Marcus.
- Watching Kevin Maddalena, his homeroom teacher, refuses to assist him when seeking help, and actively attempted to prevent him from improving in his academic performance by refusing to obligate his promise to assign extra work to the applicant while making ridicules excuses of “inequity.”
- Over the course of two days racially harassed, hunted, threatened with unwarranted punishment and discriminatorily treated differently by a Caucasian teacher, S. Masterson for absolutely no justifiable reason.
- At the approval of the DSBN, Warren Hoshizaki, watching Mary Anne Gage do everything within her powers to prevent the applicant from returning to Connaught Public School by only offering solutions that kept him segregated from all students or was forced to return to a classes when there was a poisoned relationship with his teacher Kevin Maddalena due to his own prejudice, spiteful and deliberate behavior towards the applicant and his family.
- Subjected to listen to the use of racist slurs from a Caucasian student towards a Black student in class while a Caucasian teacher Kevin Elzinga, who has acknowledges the incident and admits to doing nothing to stop it.
- Forced to watch the Caucasian principal of Thorold Secondary School, Janice Sargeant declined to address and confront the same Caucasian student about his anti-Black actions and behavior.
- Forced to watch Cameron Stone manufactured a fictitious racial incident involving himself in an effort to cast doubt on the honesty of his claims about a racist incent that took place at Thorold Secondary School.
- Once again forced by the DSBN, Warren Hoshizaki and Mary Anne Gage to accept solutions that prevented the applicant from returning to geography class by only offering solutions that kept him segregated from all students or was forced to return to a geography class where they refused to interact with him and made jester that he was disabled.
- Taunted by two Caucasian students who purposefully talked aloud in an attempt to elicit a response from the applicant by claiming that he failed geography class and was removed because he was stupid and Black.
- Referred to as the inappropriate term “Hey Black kid…” while passing through the Thorold Secondary School hallway.
