Where does freedom of religion end and freedom from discrimination begin? In 2019, one trustee's incendiary remarks sent shockwaves across the Toronto Catholic District School Board. The school trustee opposed additional protections for queer and trans people at Toronto Catholic. His comments and the ensuing legal battle put a spotlight on the ideological divide around queer and trans inclusion. Teachers, students, parents and politicians are locked in a fierce debate over the future of Ontario's Catholic schools. Who is really shaping the conversation on sex and gender? Does queer and trans inclusion infringe on freedom of religion? Co-hosts Matt Nethersole and Tiff Lam explore how human rights, sexuality, gender, religion and politics are colliding in Ontario's Catholic schools and beyond.
