Could this be a watershed opportunity in Canadian history to marshal compromise instead of cancellation?

The question is, is cancelling a kid for his comments or defending his female classmates concerned about all gender washrooms the right way to go in the big picture? Or could everybody calm down and respectfully co-exist with differing opinions? In a climate of always drawing a line in the sand, could this not be the time to look for common ground?“In their mind, to say there is two genders is bullying,” said Kitchen, adding they say “Josh’s presence” causes “harm and mental anguish.

The teen told the Toronto Sun, however, he has “sympathy” for his fellow students and has no problem with them personally, he just wants to go back to class with them and graduate with them. The Renfrew County Catholic District School Board that oversees Renfrew’s St. Joseph Catholic High School has so far not commented on questions on the mediation attempts but has said the “safety” of their students is their number one priority. The current decision has put Alexander in a position where he may not be able to finish high school – something his lawyer feels is against Canadian law.

“Legally the proper outcome is obvious, the trouble is getting there,” said the Alberta lawyer. “The legally correct thing to do is permit him into school and let him respectfully express himself during class debates … That is obviously the correct answer but the law doesn’t matter so much anymore.

Using the “frog in the pot analogy,” Kitchen said “it’s hard to recognize because it happens slow enough that you adjust to it.”“That is not the popular outcome, that’s not the woke outcome, so we have that gap between what the law says should be happening and what culture or what the politicians want to happen.”Share this article in your social network

Wait. A Catholic school is cancelling teen for religious views? Anyone else see the irony? 🤔

A better approach would simply be to cancel religious views. Ban religious indoctrination centres. Tax churches.

It is very disturbing that those woke parasites have even infiltrated the religious organizations

This young man is admirable.

Its a disgrace!

It is not only a religious belief, it is science!

Why is the province not stepping in?
