Waterloo school board says decision to cut discussion about transgender fiction driven by concern for harm and legal liability

The Waterloo Region District School Board says it shut down a controversial discussion at last week’s meeting to avoid potential liability under the Ontario Human Rights Code.

“Some of these books are a positive addition because they show diverse families and represent a variety of ethnicities, however, I am very concerned that some of the resources in our elementary school libraries are inappropriate for young children,” she told the board.by Alex Geno, suggesting the book might be asking children to think of sexuality earlier than needed.
