Yesterday the Toronto Catholic School Board saw the light of day: they refused a motion from one of the trustees calling for a ban of gay straight alliances in Catholic schools.
The School Board is governed by the year-old 'Accepting Schools Act' requiring school boards to permit students to set up GSA's; but the presenting trustee had argued that the board should nevertheless refuse GSA's - because, he said, the Charter's guarantee of freedom of expression trumped the Accepting Schools Act.
But he was outvoted.
