Former Principal of Etobicoke School of the Arts created and circulated a "Black List" of students among teachers.

Quote:
Aitchison outraged parents and students by compiling a list of black students and circulating it to teachers in November of 2017. In February, a teacher at the school took a picture of the list and sent it to students, sparking serious questions.
...
Students and parents who have seen the list — which many now call the "black list" — say Aitchison used the school's yearbook to identify black students.

Aitchison's list also allegedly used ethnic signifiers like as "African" and "Caribbean" to describe students, also separating both "black" and "mixed race" students on the lists as well.
...
At the meeting, called in response to mounting pressure from students, he says both the school and the TDSB made unsatisfactory attempts at reconciling the issue. For example, Aitchison commenced her apology by stating she had "black friends," he said.
Aitchison has not been fired, she has transferred schools.
