Who are the right wingers?Kids don't issue bomb threats to schools.
We have seen a lot of sympathy here for those issuing bomb threats from right wingers, though.
Oh Dutch.Yes, it is becoming more acceptable by activists on the right. It already was acceptable and practised by activists on the left.
Just playing the percentages.It could just as easily have been a left wing parent who issued a bomb threat, to Oakville Trafalgar High School. Why are the right wingers getting all the blame??
Wow. That's major league delusional.Oh Dutch.
Projecting as always.
It's ok Dutch.Wow. That's major league delusional.
With all due respect- not that complicated?? At the crazy time when we can't define what is a woman? Good luck with that.Well, that's exactly how it would play out in a hearing, so the decision maker will have to make the same decision. Not that complicated. You ask for a medical opinion as to whether the individual is behaving according to their bona fide belief that they are transexual and, further, whether the wearing of the particular prosthetic is recommended by the doctor for the benefit of the individual's mental health. You also ask the doctor if Lemieux's mental health poses any limitation on his ability to function as a teacher or whether it poses any risks to students. If Lemieux can overcome those hurdles (which I doubt), you then move on to whether the Board can reasonably accomodate this individual's mental health needs.
How is the School Board incompetent?
We don't even know who their lawyers are?? I trust Howard Levitt's opinion more than their lawyers' opinion!! Also, why do the taxpayers have to pay for these consultants??How is the School Board incompetent?
Because they took their attorneys' advice?
Okay. But you're not a school board member. So you don't get to choose what lawyers they hire and listen to, do you?We don't even know who their lawyers are?? I trust Howard Levitt's opinion more than their lawyers' opinion!! Also, why do the taxpayers have to pay for these consultants??
All I know is that the HDSB became a laughingstock around the world.Okay. But you're not a school board member. So you don't get to choose what lawyers they hire and listen to, do you?
And if they hire a lawyer you don't like and listen to his / her advice, that still doesn't make them incompetent, does it?
They are just running the clock until the end of the semester and politely telling the trustees and the provincial government to go fuck themselves.We don't even know who their lawyers are??

KB, I guess you're right. However, In this case I think the board might have a good chance in court. Obviously, I'm not a lawyer. However, IMHO if you're involved in a civil lawsuit, then both sets of lawyers get to do discoveries. In these discoveries, it will come out that Lemieux is lying. The Defence lawyers will get doctors to check Lemieux out etc ie Get one of their Doctors to give Lemieux a physical exam. Then the Doc will discover that her boobs are fake---LOLThey are just running the clock until the end of the semester and politely telling the trustees and the provincial government to go fuck themselves.
I understand why people are angry but at the end of the day it’s the school board’s decision.
Mitchell: Suppose that a lawyer told you that if the school board tries to fire Kayla Lemieux they will almost certainly find themselves on the wrong end of a civil suit and have to pay damages that will financially cripple the board’s funding for next school year. Would you say, “I don’t care. Pay the money if that’s what it takes to get rid of her”? Or would you just let her ride out the semester at home on medical leave?
I don’t know. It’s possible that she could be on long term medical leave for years. Maybe that’s how this will end up? At that point it would be the board’s insurance company that would be paying her disability benefits.KB, I guess you're right.

Also, what's stopping Lemieux from getting paid home leave for years, and just not this semester??
PS: I think eventually the board will implement a new dress code policy that will address the concerns about Lemieux and at that point if she doesn’t comply they could fire her. Apparently, though, they can’t make a policy change like that while they are in the middle of collective bargaining with the teachers union. It will thus take awhile but I think it will get done eventually.KB, I guess you're right. However, In this case I think the board might have a good chance in court. Obviously, I'm not a lawyer.

What kind of dress code will cover the gigantic tits? Even the burka will fall short. He's got a perfect design.PS: I think eventually the board will implement a new dress code policy that will address the concerns about Lemieux and at that point if she doesn’t comply they could fire her.

Of course, Lemieux would have to return to work from medical leave for them to fire her and somehow I don’t think she’ll be returning from medical leave.
Given the current climate and judging by a lot of the responses on this board, that may be easier said than done.PS: I think eventually the board will implement a new dress code policy that will address the concerns about Lemieux and at that point if she doesn’t comply they could fire her.

I dunno…was there not a suggestion out there that as long as the nipples were not visibly poking through the shirt then the rest was okay?What kind of dress code will cover the gigantic tits? Even the burka will fall short. He's got a perfect design.
