‘What happened here should not happen in a democratic society,’ Ontario Superior Court Justice James Ramsay said.
On November 23, Ontario Superior Court Justice James Ramsay rejected a request from the Waterloo Regional District School Board (WRDSB) to dismiss the defamation case of now-retired teacher Carolyn Burjoski. Burjoski originally filed the suit after she was silenced and publicly accosted last year for sounding the alarm over pro-LGBT books being available to young students at school libraries during a WRDSB meeting.
“What happened here should not happen in a democratic society,” Ramsay said in his decision, according to the?National Post.
“The Human Rights Code does not prohibit public discussion of issues related to transgenderism or minors and transgenderism. It does not prohibit public discussion of anything,” he said.
According to the ruling, Burjoski’s case against WRDSB and its former chair Scott Piatkowski can now proceed. Ramsay further ordered WRDSB to pay $30,000 of Burjoski’s legal fees.
““What happened here should not happen in a democratic society,” Ramsay said in his decision, according to the National Post.”
So who exactly allowed it, or compelled it, to happen?
And what are the consequences now for them?
Is there anyone responsible for policing this kind of conduct by public officials?
Are there any penalties imposed on these officials, that would begin to disincentivize over reaching by ALL public officials?
(I’m thinking temporary suspensions of duties, without pay perhaps up to permanent prohibitions from public office for egregrious cases.)
Why aren’t proposals like that even being discussed?
The Court system is too slow . These Ahole Teachercrats game the system
They SHOULD be Personally libel in this case
Good Judge !
