Toronto cancels school trips to the U.S.

The Toronto District School Board announced that it would no longer plan student field trips to the U.S.  

“We don’t want to put our students in the position of traveling down to the border with their friends and classmates on a trip and then being told they cannot enter the U.S. for no legitimate reason,” according to a spokesman for the Toronto Board.  

The Toronto district has about 246,000 students, including students from the six countries referenced in Trump’s order.
