An Ontario teen who was suspended from his Catholic high school over his views on gender has had his request for a court review of the school’s decision dismissed.

Josh Alexander was in Grade 11 at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew, Ont., when he was suspended in 2022 for saying there are only two genders during a discussion in math class, as well as for organizing a student walkout protesting biological boys being allowed to use the girls’ washroom. He was also accused of bullying.
