An Ontario school board trustee who has often taken opposing views to some other board members on issues such as critical race theory and free speech has been barred from attending future board meetings for reasons not disclosed to the public.

Mike Ramsay, a six-term trustee from the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB), was banned from participating in several meetings and sittings until this fall after fellow trustees voted 6-3 in favour of a motion that he had breached the trustee code of conduct.
