The letter — served on behalf of the Foothills School Division — was written by Brownlee LLP, a large Edmonton law firm, and penned two days after CBC's original story was published., one of the mothers who spoke toNews after pulling her son from the class over concerns he was struggling in a large room with 47 kids and two teachers.
"To be clear, you are to cease sending all e-mail or other correspondence that contains false or defamatory comments regarding any Foothills School Division employee to anyone. Any failure on your part to take heed of this warning may result in legal proceedings."The Foothills School division declined CBC's request for an interview.
"It seems like a very heavy-handed way to shut this conversation down," said Barbara Silva, communications director with Support Our Students Alberta. "Once you bring in legal counsel, it sets up a David and Goliath dynamic." "Just the sheer image of a school board putting out cease-and-desist orders is pretty alarming," said Silva, who admits she isn't privy to all the communications that have occurred between the parents, the school and the school division.
