Canadian Atheist readers may recall Christopher Karas from CFI Canada’s ThinkAgain TV interview or from media and blog coverage of his work to challenge his Catholic School Board over his rights as a student.
Christopher has informed me that his court appearances start today. You can learn more about Christopher’s work at his website.
According to the National Post “Former Catholic school student’s complaints of homophobia settled just before human rights hearing”: http://is.gd/29wUl0

Thanks for posting this update, Veronica! Congratulations to Christopher Karas for reaching a settlement – it will be interesting to see if his case contributes to advancing secularism and human rights in Ontario’s schools and school system.
I’m disappointed. I would have liked to see the case heard to set a precedent.
