An Ontario court has ruled the Toronto Catholic District School Board acted legally when it censured trustee Mike Del Grande for seeking to include bestiality and other “fetishistic” forms of sexuality along with gender identity in its code of conduct.
The three-member panel of Superior Court of Justice Divisional Court rejected Del Grande’s efforts to quash decisions by the board in the aftermath of his controversial November 2019 comments.“What I’ve said all along is that all children are made in the image of God and deserve to be included in our school system so that when they walk into our schools, they know that they belong,” said trustee Maria Rizzo.
“The Toronto Catholic school board continues to work very hard to build bridges with every marginalized community so that they feel included and not in any way lessened by our actions and our words,” de Domenico said. In November 2019 the Catholic board was debating a direction from the provincial Ministry of Education to include gender identity and expression, family and marital status as protected grounds for discrimination to its code of conduct to align with human rights legislation. The amendments were supported by the Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto.
The board subsequently sought an independent review of Del Grande’s actions and in May 2020 an investigator concluded the trustee violated the code of conduct by “creating an unwelcoming and harmful environment for certain members of the Catholic school board community.”
