I've been following this in the York region media. The main driver to this is one of the parents complained to a human rights group and once they started meddling it took a mole hill and blew it up into a mountain. And why someone would complain that members of the board went to Finland to study that school system - one of the best in the world - is beyond me. 

The complaints are of isolated incidents and not reflective of the whole school board. But once you get advocacy groups involved it facilitates the agenda if you tar all with one brush. I'm glad there is a review as once it is over we can put this story to bed.
