Slaw: ‘Gay-Straight Alliances’ in schools part of anti-bullying Bill
May 31, 2012 Yosie Saint-Cyr Employee Relations, Human Resources, Human Rights, Union Relations, 0
Through Standing Committee on Social Policy hearings, the government heard that students should be allowed to call student-led, single-issue groups specifically “Gay-Straight Alliances” or other similar names. This has angered some Christians, among them Evangelical and Catholic groups as well as their leaders, who feel that this Bill would force them to allow clubs with the name “Gay-Straight Alliance” in their schools. They feel accepting such a premise violates their beliefs, Charter rights and religious freedom.
