Abstract
This chapter examines the new Ontario Social Studies, History and Geography (SSHG) curriculum document, released to considerable praise in 2013. MacLachlan undertakes a textual analysis of the document through an anti-racism lens. The lack of an anti-racism framework at the Ontario Ministry of Education level will be explored through the analysis of its anti-racism and Ethnocultural Equity in School Boards (AREESB) Guidelines, as well as its revised Equity and Inclusivity Education in Ontario Schools (EIEOS).
