Correns at it again ...
(from cbc.ca – October 17, 2008) The Abbotsford School Board could find itself before a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal if it continues to refuse to offer the high school elective course Social Justice 12.
Murray and Peter Corren filed a human rights complaint against the board accusing it of discrimination for refusing to offer the course, which deals with issues such as sexual orientation.
The course was created after the Correns reached a human rights settlement with the Education Ministry in 2006, and was to be offered as an elective at high schools throughout the province as part of the settlement.
But the Abbotsford board only offered a modified version of the course without the material on sexual orientation this September after complaints from parents who felt it conflicted with their family values.
Corren said Friday he would be willing to negotiate with Abbotsford officials to avoid a hearing, but he was confident the tribunal would rule in his favour, if the matter goes to a hearing.
