- 0:28Speaker 2: Care basically about a flag out a.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Ball the big Contact june is the cold hired voice
- 0:33Speaker 1: for institutional. Cowardice when schollboards get spooked out by a, large,
- 0:37Speaker 1: loud large gallery and start ignoring The Human Rights act
- 0:40Speaker 1: or The. Charter they don't just lose moral high. Grounds
- 0:42Speaker 1: they're losing court every single. Time these are mid six figure,
- 0:46Speaker 1: settlements mountain high legal, fees and they don't just damish
- 0:49Speaker 1: into the. Ether they're building directly to you to meet the.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Taxpayers And i'm tired of this bigotry tax being packed
- 0:55Speaker 1: onto our property build just to subsidize a trustees lack
- 0:58Speaker 1: of a constitutional backblow. Vertebrae so is it?
- 1:02Speaker 2: Settled BECAUSE i know that you're saying that The pride
- 1:05Speaker 2: flag is essentially a low cost compliance to. It what
- 1:08Speaker 2: do you mean it?
- 1:09Speaker 1: IS i, Mean i'd love to tell you this is about,
- 1:12Speaker 1: pure hard on sleeve, altruism but institutions are built on risk,
- 1:16Speaker 1: management not. Romance The Pride flight is a high, visibility
- 1:19Speaker 1: low cost compliance. Tool it's a signal to the province
- 1:21Speaker 1: that the lights are on the laws being. Followed whether
- 1:24Speaker 1: a trustee votes for it because they have a heart
- 1:26Speaker 1: of gold or because they've seen the legal department's terrifying
- 1:28Speaker 1: budget productions won't change any of the math because the
- 1:31Speaker 1: math is the. Math it keeps the lawyers at, day
- 1:33Speaker 1: the flag. Doesn't it keeps the funding in the classroom
- 1:36Speaker 1: where it, belongs rather than going into lawyers, pockets Which
- 1:39Speaker 1: i'm sure you agree with. It they don't need any
- 1:40Speaker 1: more of our.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Money, no AND i got some pretty bad lawyer. CHOKES
- 1:43Speaker 2: i could, tell BUT i can't on the air. Now
- 1:46Speaker 2: you mentioned in your blog this just isn't an. Opinion
- 1:50Speaker 2: it's a base code For, canada the entire. Country so
- 1:53Speaker 2: how do you respond to parents who feel that the
- 1:56Speaker 2: charters should also protect their rights to not have their.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Care it's exposed to any of these kind of.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Symbols you, know The charter and the Entire Human Rights
- 2:05Speaker 1: act aren't just trigger three passes for the public. Square
- 2:08Speaker 1: they protect you from the, state, sure but they also
- 2:11Speaker 1: protect the rights of the marginalized to actually exist in.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Public the system doesn't owe anyone a moral bubble gene
- 2:16Speaker 1: at the expense of its own legal. Survival and if
- 2:19Speaker 1: someone's personal worldview is so fragile that a strip of
- 2:21Speaker 1: rainbow colored nylon threatens, it that's a, private pastoral, matter
- 2:25Speaker 1: not a valid reason to rewrite public.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Policy, now y'all have a pretty any take on why
- 2:30Speaker 2: The pride flag and The canadian flag actually work in.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Tandem Explain. Lucy you, know one of.
- 2:37Speaker 1: The arguments THAT i saw on social media this week
- 2:39Speaker 1: was that the only flags that should fly or the,
- 2:41Speaker 1: country the, province or the.
- 2:42Speaker 2: City AND i think there's merit to.
- 2:44Speaker 1: That but we need to remember the maple leaf was
- 2:46Speaker 1: not handed down on high on stone tablets At Mount
- 2:48Speaker 1: sinai Into moses's. Hand was a calculated nineteen sixty five
- 2:52Speaker 1: Pr Lester pearson flex to define a, modern Inclusive. Canada
- 2:56Speaker 1: and if sovereignty resides with The canadian, flag The pride
- 2:59Speaker 1: flag is the operational mirror a declaration if you, will
- 3:02Speaker 1: that we actually mean what we say about being a
- 3:04Speaker 1: free and democratic. Society you can't fly the maple leaf
- 3:07Speaker 1: and then ignore the human rights based code it's supposed to.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Represent but it's not a cage match. Either they're reinforcing
- 3:13Speaker 1: the Same canadian, project and of course there's still flag.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Code the maple leaf always flies at. Tump.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Yeah now there have been some protests once, again and
- 3:21Speaker 2: you're calling it the trailer park boys. Logic what do you.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Mean i'm not losing sleep gene over alienating people who
- 3:29Speaker 1: are trying to dismantle the legal integrity of our school
- 3:31Speaker 1: boards in the. System this is trailer park boys. Logic
- 3:34Speaker 1: they want the dopamine hit and high of screaming at
- 3:36Speaker 1: a school board, meeting but they really don't want to
- 3:38Speaker 1: do the long ruling work of actual. Governance they don't
- 3:42Speaker 1: want to do the door, knocking the budget, audits the
- 3:44Speaker 1: four hour subcommittee. Meanings they want to control the whole public.
- 3:47Speaker 1: System so you, know go do. It in trailer park,
- 3:49Speaker 1: boys this was you like to smoke the. Weed you
- 3:51Speaker 1: don't like to grow and do the hard. Work so
- 3:54Speaker 1: don't just show up on harvest day and demand a.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Smoke, okay if you're a school trustee listening to this
- 4:01Speaker 2: a little debate this, morning what's your? Message thirty second elevator.

- 4:08Speaker 1: Open the legal, budget take a, long hard.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Look and if you.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Pull that flag down to a piece of shouting match
- 4:13Speaker 1: in the gallery, today you are signing a blank. Check
- 4:15Speaker 1: to a human rights, Lawyer. Tomoment the job of a
- 4:18Speaker 1: trustee is not to sue the loudest person in the
- 4:20Speaker 1: room because their feelings got. Hurt to uphold the law
- 4:23Speaker 1: and protect every student in every one of the schools
- 4:26Speaker 1: in their. Jurisdiction so my advice be an, adult keep
