This ruling is a victory against activists trying to subvert our public institutions.

No pupil has the right to impose their views on an entire school community in this way. The Equality Act is a shield, not a sword and teachers must not be threatened into submission. (1/2)

Really looking forward to it! Thanks for orchestrating such a great lineup for researchED Toronto Nidhi Sachdeva, PhD ! #researchEDCanada

If someone says, 'Teachers should not attempt to indoctrinate children into their own political beliefs,' the correct response is, 'Yes, of course, that should never happen,' not, 'This is just feeding right wing panic,' or, 'this never happens.' It applies to all political…
