Carolyn Burjoski, a former elementary school teacher who has launched a defamation lawsuit against the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) and its chair after her comments about age-appropriateness of sexual content in children’s books were called “transphobic,” has released a video responding to the board’s defence.

The school board submitted a statement of defence on July 11, denying the allegations claimed in the lawsuit.
