Parents demand apology after school lockdown incident

A Winnipeg elementary school was put on lockdown on March 7 when parents Karmen Omeasoo and Lisa Muswagon raised concerns about bullying. The school labeled them as a "disturbance," which the couple disputes, seeking a public apology. The couple, known for their advocacy and social media presence, felt their concerns were ignored. They argue that the school's response perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Indigenous people. The Winnipeg School Division is addressing the issue privately but has not confirmed if an apology will be issued. The couple continues to seek resolution for their concerns about school safety.
