With no debate and no opposition to the motion, it seemed an easy matter, but for months the board and school officials steadfastly declined to do anything about complaints over the teacher’s apparel.

Ennis released a written statement: “The HDSB’s commitment to human rights remains rooted in our core values and commitment to each and every student and staff who identifies as a member of an underserved and underrepresented group, and our approach is informed by opinions from leading employment law firms with human rights and equity advisors.”Article content
