A legal guide for navigating the conflict between queer and religious rights in schools.
Too often, the conflict between queer and religious rights in schools is a zero-sum game, but under Canadian law, this need not be. Surveying the relevant legal decisions, Making the Case faces the difficult questions posed by rights-based conflict and offers solutions for administrators who want to protect their LGBTQ2S+ students without seeming to undermine others’ religious liberties. This accessible guide is a vital resource in the effort to build inclusive learning environments.
