Kathleen Wynne: "This is a cowardly act of hatred, and it has no place in Ontario. This does not represent who we are. We must stand firm in our support of this young girl who was assaulted simply for wearing a hijab."

John Tory: "shocked and appalled” by the incident, stating, “No child should ever be afraid walking to school in Toronto because of what they are wearing”
