The simple answer is to uphold our actual human rights laws and cut funding for all institutions who advocate breaching them, such as schools supporting  gender bias. Once the focus moves to the discriminatory practises of patriarchal religions, faint efforts to get a toehold of legitimacy through prayers and headgear take a proper back seat

The public funds schools and wants human rights upheld. That means gender equality and ensuring people can worship as they wish when outside school and work. It does not mean burdening society with antiquated patriarchal views or inviting such prejudice and practices into our institutions. The school board officials should uphold modern human rights for gender equality or resign as the public does not want religion in any form on public school property, or any other expression of oppression. Also, the public does not want to fund city tax beaks for any discriminatory religions - catholic, muslim, etc. Ottawa has long had such a  contract policy
