Parent Testimonial

A grade 9 student was sent to the principal’s office for wearing a t-shirt that one of the non-binary students in his class found offensive. When the student asked the principal what was offensive about the t-shirt, the principal stated that they did not know, but that the non-binary student was offended by it and the student was asked not to wear the shirt again. This was only one example where the student and others in the class were reprimanded for offending non-binary, bi-sexual, and trans students without understanding the reason why and with no guidance or support from their teachers. This student elected to leave the school system after finishing grade 9.
