A school board trustee in the Durham region of Ontario has filed a court application against her board for banning her from future committee meetings after she criticized its recently drafted policies around race, gender, and sexuality.
On April 3, Linda Stone filed an application for judicial review against the Durham District School Board (DDSB) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for “censoring her speech and interfering with her ability to fulfil her role as an elected official,” according to legal advocacy organization the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF).
