An Ontario teacher who was silenced at a school board meeting while questioning the content of school library books says she is disappointed and surprised that her request for a judicial review of the board’s action has been rejected.

Ontario’s Divisional Court recently made the decision not to proceed with a review of the Waterloo Region District School Board’s (WRDSB) action to stop Carolyn Burjoski’s presentation, saying the school board was within its rights and following its bylaws to protect minority voices.
