Do adults who are paid to be educators of young students, really use exclusion and humiliation as tactics of coercion? Seriously? What level of intellect are these teachers and school administrators who would take such action against a student, in response to a perfectly sensible, reasonable exemption request - oh, the irony. The Catholic school system shows itself fixated on control for the sake of control, the length of school girl skirts and a brand of pettiness that has no place in Ontario's secular school system this century.
