A 17-year-old student in Ontario has filed a human rights complaint against his Catholic high school, claiming that he was suspended for opposing the school's policy of allowing biological males to use girls' bathrooms. The student, Josh Alexander, says that his suspension violated his Christian beliefs and his right to free speech. He also says that he was harassed by his classmates and teacher for expressing his views. The complaint seeks a declaration that the school board discriminated against him on the basis of his religion.
