Transcript

00:00:00.560 This is discrimination. I'm being sent home over something I believe in.
00:00:11.400 Hey my friends, we've got breaking news again in Ontario. Do you remember Josh Alexander,
00:00:16.240 the young boy, young 16 year old anyway, who was at a Catholic school, himself being a non-Catholic,
00:00:25.060 and basically stood up for girls who wanted privacy in their own bathrooms while there were
00:00:32.060 these boys going into their bathrooms. And he got first suspended, then expelled for that action
00:00:39.400 in an Ontario Catholic school, right in the Renfrew area. We have a similar situation with a little bit
00:00:47.540 of reversal actually. You have a public school in Ontario again, and you have this time a Catholic
00:00:54.660 young man, also just turned 16. At the school, he wore a shirt, a shirt that said there are only
00:01:02.600 two genders. And for that, he was suspended, children's aid was called to the family home,
00:01:10.040 and much more. Stay tuned for this episode of the John Henry Weston Show.
00:01:16.940 We are about to come upon May 9th in very short order. You got to get yourself out to Ottawa to
00:01:22.860 the National March for Life, which is taking place on May the 9th. Make sure you're there.
00:01:27.800 Aren't you sick of Trudeau, the most abortion pushing prime minister we've ever had? It's time.
00:01:34.180 It's time to show the politicians in Ottawa, we're not going to take it anymore. We're there to show
00:01:38.460 that we are for life. And these are not the Canadian values he always says they are. No,
00:01:43.080 the Canadian values are to stand for life from sea to shining sea. This is still a Christian nation.
00:01:48.040 And let's show them that. We'll see you at the March for Life on May 9th. God bless you.
00:01:54.780 Cato Cain, welcome to the program. Thanks for having me. Malachi, a great pleasure to have you here.
00:01:59.440 It's good to meet you. So, you know, we should begin as we always do at the sign of the cross first,
00:02:05.380 and then we'll continue our discussion. In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
00:02:09.040 and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
00:02:11.740 Amen.
00:02:13.160 So, Malachi, for one thing,
00:02:16.520 very heroic. Yeah.
00:02:18.420 Amazing thing you've done.
00:02:20.560 I was so,
00:02:23.260 I mean, I was shocking to hear it.
00:02:24.620 When your mom called, I thought,
00:02:26.500 oh, Lord, what a horrific
00:02:28.460 situation. Except,
00:02:30.460 when I heard it about you,
00:02:31.940 it's a very different thing.
00:02:33.480 It's, the good that you did
00:02:36.100 actually is overwhelming. It actually takes over
00:02:38.740 the sentiment of the evil that's going on.
00:02:41.440 So, it's a heroic witness.
00:02:43.140 Awesome. Awesome work.
00:02:44.580 Thank you.
00:02:45.640 So, tell us if you could,
00:02:48.120 how did all this begin?
00:02:49.780 What happened? What inspired you
00:02:51.980 to do the shirt? The shirt said what?
00:02:54.240 There are only two genders.
00:02:55.460 Okay.
00:02:55.740 That's all it said.
00:02:56.640 I was born and raised,
00:02:59.600 baptized in the Catholic Church.
00:03:02.140 My grandpa's Catholic,
00:03:03.120 our family's Catholic,
00:03:04.060 and very conservative,
00:03:05.180 and I've, you know,
00:03:07.080 developed those views over the years
00:03:09.620 and over my life.
00:03:11.020 So, I just agreed with the fact
00:03:13.880 that there are only two genders
00:03:14.820 because I don't like to indulge
00:03:16.840 the, you know,
00:03:18.500 ideologies of everybody else
00:03:20.060 and I don't agree with them either
00:03:22.380 because I know that there are only two genders
00:03:24.720 because my family consists of those two genders,
00:03:27.720 female and male.
00:03:29.280 So, I wore a shirt that said so.
00:03:31.420 So, so.
00:03:33.360 Now, this created quite the stir at your school.
00:03:39.200 What happened first?
00:03:40.960 Well, I walked into the school with the sweater on
00:03:43.900 and I showed everybody
00:03:45.600 and I asked them how they felt about it
00:03:47.500 and everybody gave me a high five
00:03:48.680 or a thumbs up saying,
00:03:49.700 I agree with you.
00:03:50.800 But after they said,
00:03:52.460 I agree,
00:03:53.680 it was,
00:03:54.420 you know,
00:03:54.680 you're going to get suspended.
00:03:55.680 And I said,
00:03:56.280 I know I'm going to get suspended.
00:03:57.360 It's just a matter of time.
00:03:59.180 And not even 40 minutes into the school day,
00:04:02.600 I was called down to the office.
00:04:04.380 Okay.
00:04:04.680 So, when all this went down,
00:04:08.500 what did you think of it?
00:04:09.860 Did you know about the shirt?
00:04:12.480 You know,
00:04:13.040 where are you at in all of this?
00:04:14.380 I did because he'd been talking about
00:04:16.000 getting the shirt for a while.
00:04:17.200 So, we got some money together
00:04:18.400 and he ordered it off Amazon.
00:04:20.100 It came in Tuesday,
00:04:21.000 so he wore it.
00:04:21.900 He was quite excited when it came in.
00:04:23.340 So, he wore it on Wednesday.
00:04:25.120 I told him,
00:04:25.640 I said,
00:04:25.900 you're going to be met with resistance,
00:04:27.720 but I support you.
00:04:28.860 So, go at it.
00:04:31.080 And so, he wore it.
00:04:31.960 And I was expecting a call.
00:04:34.140 I was waiting, really.
00:04:35.360 So, I was at the table
00:04:36.260 and my phone rang,
00:04:37.120 I think, by 9.
00:04:38.280 Wow.
00:04:38.760 They're at school by 8.30.
00:04:40.180 School starts at 8.30.
00:04:41.080 So, by 9 o'clock, I got a call.
00:04:43.040 So, Kate O'Kane,
00:04:44.440 you're a single mom with five kids.
00:04:47.040 They're all at this school?
00:04:48.360 Mm-hmm.
00:04:48.580 What's the name of the school?
00:04:49.540 Granite Ridge Public School.
00:04:51.240 So, it goes from JK straight up to grade 12
00:04:52.980 because it's a smaller area.
00:04:54.220 Okay.
00:04:55.220 So, at this school,
00:04:57.240 you've got your five kids.
00:04:58.880 You're the eldest.
00:04:59.740 You're Maliki.
00:05:00.360 You're the oldest.
00:05:00.800 And you just turned 16.
00:05:02.480 Is that right?
00:05:02.920 Just on March 28th, actually.
00:05:04.840 You're amazingly well-spoken
00:05:06.260 for a 16-year-old, by the way.
00:05:07.340 Thank you.
00:05:08.400 That's great work.
00:05:09.520 Thanks.
00:05:10.500 So, okay.
00:05:12.000 So, you're a supportive mom.
00:05:13.760 You envision,
00:05:15.300 because you've paid attention
00:05:16.780 to all the insanity going on,
00:05:18.540 that there might be some friction here.
00:05:20.480 Yeah.
00:05:21.280 You get a call by 9.
00:05:22.540 So, that means, what,
00:05:23.180 your bus arrives when?
00:05:24.560 My bus arrives at...
00:05:26.560 Well, I'm on the bus by 7.
00:05:28.360 You're on the bus by 8.
00:05:28.880 I'm on the bus by 8,
00:05:30.000 and it's a three-minute drive.
00:05:31.200 So, probably around 8.05,
00:05:33.220 I'm off the bus.
00:05:34.440 So, within an hour,
00:05:36.240 you're already in the office.
00:05:37.580 You didn't even make it to class yet.
00:05:38.840 I was in class for probably around 30 minutes.
00:05:41.200 Okay.
00:05:41.460 And the teacher said,
00:05:43.240 I got a call, and it's for you.
00:05:44.480 And I said, oh, okay.
00:05:45.560 And she said,
00:05:46.560 you have to go down to the office.
00:05:47.780 Okay.
00:05:48.620 I looked at my friends,
00:05:49.940 and I said,
00:05:50.460 here we go, guys.
00:05:51.240 See you later.
00:05:52.340 Okay.
00:05:53.360 All right.
00:05:54.560 So, what was your, then, feeling
00:05:57.480 once this went down,
00:05:58.620 once you got the call?
00:05:59.360 What happened there?
00:06:00.480 Well, I asked him,
00:06:02.000 why?
00:06:02.700 Why are you suspending him?
00:06:04.060 Well, he can't wear a shirt like that.
00:06:05.680 And I said, why?
00:06:07.040 Well, it's considered hate speech.
00:06:08.880 I said, but this is a factual statement.
00:06:11.380 Gender is binary.
00:06:12.840 There are only two genders,
00:06:14.380 and that's all his shirt is saying.
00:06:15.980 He can't wear this.
00:06:16.960 This is discrimination.
00:06:18.200 This is a, you know,
00:06:20.400 I guess, essentially,
00:06:21.140 discrimination against the children
00:06:22.220 who don't believe that.
00:06:23.160 I said, okay,
00:06:23.560 but what about his beliefs?
00:06:24.940 So, we kind of went back and forth
00:06:26.220 for about 10 minutes on the phone.
00:06:27.880 He kept cutting me off
00:06:28.800 and trying to give me the number
00:06:29.860 of the superintendent.
00:06:31.180 I called him out on it,
00:06:32.220 saying, you're the vice principal.
00:06:33.560 You're the one pulling him into the office.
00:06:35.320 You should be discussing this
00:06:36.360 with me on the phone.
00:06:37.400 He said, he will remove it now.
00:06:39.440 And I said, and if he doesn't,
00:06:40.720 well, he's gone.
00:06:41.820 And I said, okay.
00:06:42.920 This is vice principal.
00:06:43.500 This is the vice principal.
00:06:44.440 Chairman.
00:06:44.740 Mr. Wojtek Czermak,
00:06:46.360 because the principal
00:06:47.620 wasn't at school that day.
00:06:48.760 Okay.
00:06:49.340 So, he had taken over the situation.
00:06:51.700 Right.
00:06:52.280 When you went down to the office,
00:06:53.600 did you have a similar conversation?
00:06:54.840 And was it with him?
00:06:55.920 It was with him.
00:06:56.940 And he actually had
00:06:58.200 this student counselor
00:06:59.100 who helps talk with all the kids
00:07:01.400 in the room with him.
00:07:03.800 And I, they said,
00:07:05.740 look at your shirt.
00:07:06.380 And I said, yeah.
00:07:07.940 I said, what's the problem with it?
00:07:08.800 He said, you can't wear that.
00:07:09.840 And I said, why?
00:07:10.460 And he said,
00:07:10.840 it's considered a hate speech.
00:07:12.800 And I said,
00:07:14.000 and I sat down in the chair
00:07:15.020 and I said, well,
00:07:15.740 what are we going to do?
00:07:16.560 And he said,
00:07:17.320 you're going to take it off.
00:07:17.960 And I said,
00:07:18.380 I'm not going to take it off.
00:07:19.680 You cannot force me to take it off.
00:07:21.160 And he said, okay,
00:07:22.300 I'm going to call your mom.
00:07:23.100 And I said,
00:07:24.300 mom's in the same boat I am.
00:07:26.380 And I'm in.
00:07:27.940 So you are going to be met
00:07:29.760 with the same things
00:07:31.100 you're meeting with me.
00:07:32.040 And he turned around
00:07:33.100 and walked out
00:07:33.560 with the student counselor.
00:07:36.240 People walked out of the room.
00:07:37.400 Hmm.
00:07:38.080 Okay.
00:07:39.340 So your school,
00:07:41.280 if it's a typical Ontario school,
00:07:43.460 they have LGBT posters,
00:07:45.500 do they not?
00:07:46.020 Yes, they do.
00:07:47.340 Okay.
00:07:49.220 That was addressed in the call as well.
00:07:50.200 That's what I told them.
00:07:51.020 I had said that
00:07:52.600 you're not allowing me
00:07:53.580 to say my opinion
00:07:54.620 as you stand in front
00:07:56.460 of a BLM poster.
00:07:57.880 Oh, there's one in there.
00:07:58.840 Yes.
00:07:59.340 As you said,
00:08:00.020 there's a BLM poster
00:08:01.020 right behind you
00:08:01.920 that says,
00:08:03.440 and it's definitely your opinion.
00:08:05.420 Yeah.
00:08:05.580 So I said that.
00:08:06.800 And then they have LGBT posters,
00:08:09.180 BLM posters.
00:08:10.360 So you're addressing with them
00:08:13.360 this subject of,
00:08:14.340 wait a minute,
00:08:15.380 this is singling out
00:08:17.580 certain people
00:08:18.220 for discrimination
00:08:18.960 based on their religious beliefs.
00:08:22.100 And he's a Catholic
00:08:23.260 going to a public school,
00:08:24.280 which is permitted
00:08:25.140 and allowed.
00:08:27.300 But they are enforcing
00:08:29.780 a belief
00:08:30.260 and you told them this.
00:08:31.240 What was their response?
00:08:32.880 Well, I commented
00:08:33.720 about how he has
00:08:34.920 the freedom
00:08:35.240 to express himself.
00:08:36.260 He has the freedom
00:08:36.860 to religious expression
00:08:37.780 as well.
00:08:38.420 And that they're
00:08:39.560 silencing this group
00:08:41.480 to stand up for this.
00:08:43.120 And he said,
00:08:43.600 well, we're not.
00:08:44.280 And I said,
00:08:44.820 okay, well,
00:08:45.600 let's address a few things.
00:08:47.080 You shove the LGBTQ
00:08:48.860 down these children's throats.
00:08:50.480 And if they say
00:08:51.380 they disagree with you,
00:08:52.440 they're silenced.
00:08:53.600 They're removed
00:08:54.500 so they can't be loud.
00:08:56.260 But you're very loud.
00:08:57.840 It's all over the schools.
00:08:59.560 I said,
00:08:59.860 if he had shown up
00:09:00.740 wearing a pride flag
00:09:01.820 saying gender
00:09:02.820 is non-binary,
00:09:04.200 he would have been celebrated.
00:09:05.940 But he wears this
00:09:07.600 saying there are
00:09:08.700 only two genders
00:09:09.860 quietly protesting
00:09:11.300 what he believes
00:09:12.140 and he is taken out
00:09:13.880 and silenced
00:09:14.660 and removed.
00:09:15.840 But he just kept telling me
00:09:17.220 I needed to contact
00:09:17.960 the school board
00:09:18.700 or remove him.
00:09:19.960 This isn't a discussion.
00:09:21.040 Remove him.
00:09:21.460 Wow.
00:09:22.800 Yeah.
00:09:23.280 So he presented
00:09:23.900 every rational argument
00:09:25.560 that makes total sense
00:09:26.780 even under a regime
00:09:28.400 of let everyone be.
00:09:30.160 Mm-hmm.
00:09:31.040 It didn't matter.
00:09:31.800 No.
00:09:32.080 No.
00:09:32.880 So it's discrimination
00:09:34.460 pure and simple.
00:09:35.160 We want to get to,
00:09:36.220 though,
00:09:36.920 the call
00:09:37.920 to children's aid.
00:09:39.660 So it's one thing
00:09:41.120 to be like,
00:09:42.160 oh, no,
00:09:42.420 we got to do it this way.
00:09:43.340 Get out, out, out.
00:09:44.000 But somehow
00:09:46.500 children's aid got called
00:09:47.640 in this mess.
00:09:48.840 Let's get to it.
00:09:49.780 Tell us what happened.
00:09:50.600 How did this go down?
00:09:51.640 So he went,
00:09:52.620 I picked him up
00:09:53.380 on Wednesday morning
00:09:54.760 and brought him home.
00:09:55.940 By the time he got home,
00:09:57.200 there had been a group
00:09:57.780 of children
00:09:58.200 started a WhatsApp group,
00:09:59.820 Writes.
00:10:00.640 And they were all
00:10:01.560 in support of him
00:10:02.320 and they were all
00:10:02.920 talking of how
00:10:03.620 they were going to
00:10:04.580 come the next day
00:10:05.660 in solidarity
00:10:06.300 and write the same thing
00:10:07.760 on their hands.
00:10:08.820 And so they could just,
00:10:10.040 you know,
00:10:10.520 stand up for him.
00:10:11.420 So he had intention
00:10:12.620 of wearing the sweater
00:10:13.680 the next day.
00:10:14.640 I said,
00:10:15.300 you do as you will.
00:10:16.520 Your resistance
00:10:17.000 will be greater,
00:10:18.260 but you fight
00:10:19.100 for what you believe.
00:10:20.120 So he wore it
00:10:20.900 the next day.
00:10:22.000 I was called,
00:10:23.180 oh, no,
00:10:23.460 Desmond came home
00:10:24.340 about three o'clock
00:10:25.300 that day
00:10:25.900 because I had picked him up
00:10:28.040 about 9.30,
00:10:29.440 9.30 on Wednesday morning.
00:10:30.680 I picked you up.
00:10:31.520 I told him
00:10:32.360 I wanted all my children out.
00:10:34.140 My second oldest,
00:10:35.340 Desmond,
00:10:35.720 said he wanted to stay
00:10:36.600 because he had a project
00:10:37.200 to work on.
00:10:37.700 So I said,
00:10:38.040 that's fine.
00:10:38.720 I'll meet you
00:10:39.160 after the bus.
00:10:40.260 From the time
00:10:40.960 I took the other children
00:10:42.040 to the time
00:10:42.560 he left for the school bus,
00:10:44.480 children's aid
00:10:44.940 had been called.
00:10:46.180 So they said,
00:10:47.240 Desmond came home
00:10:47.880 and told me
00:10:48.380 what had happened.
00:10:49.360 He said he was talking
00:10:50.280 to his friend
00:10:51.220 kind of venting about life
00:10:52.700 because it's been
00:10:53.180 stressful lately.
00:10:54.880 And his teacher
00:10:56.260 went directly down
00:10:58.120 to the office
00:10:58.560 and called CAS
00:10:59.160 because Desmond
00:11:00.360 was in danger
00:11:01.100 of coming home.
00:11:02.300 And so after that call
00:11:03.300 was made,
00:11:04.240 CAS called Desmond
00:11:05.280 to say,
00:11:05.900 are you okay?
00:11:06.500 Like,
00:11:06.660 what's going on?
00:11:07.240 He said,
00:11:07.480 no,
00:11:07.620 I'm fine.
00:11:07.920 I'm not in danger.
00:11:09.000 Like,
00:11:09.180 I'm larger than my mother.
00:11:10.120 She doesn't beat us
00:11:11.320 or hurt us
00:11:11.780 or anything.
00:11:12.440 And the school
00:11:13.180 kept pressing him.
00:11:14.840 Are you in danger?
00:11:15.720 Do you need to stay here?
00:11:17.140 Do we need to keep you here?
00:11:18.260 Are you safe to go home?
00:11:19.720 He said,
00:11:20.120 I'm perfectly fine.
00:11:21.160 So when he got off the bus,
00:11:22.740 told me what had happened
00:11:23.860 and to prepare me,
00:11:25.560 like,
00:11:25.720 this has happened.
00:11:26.720 And so we just kind of
00:11:28.000 discussed that
00:11:28.840 moving into the evening
00:11:30.120 as to why it happened
00:11:31.520 and that we would just
00:11:32.740 deal with it as it came.
00:11:34.280 But essentially,
00:11:35.360 it was his teacher
00:11:36.740 whom I had called out
00:11:38.440 a week prior
00:11:39.240 because she's allowing
00:11:40.800 certain children
00:11:41.520 within her classroom
00:11:42.300 to call her mommy
00:11:43.080 and not by her name.
00:11:44.920 So I addressed her
00:11:46.020 in an email to this
00:11:47.080 as to why it was disturbing
00:11:48.400 and inappropriate
00:11:49.460 and unprofessional.
00:11:51.100 And then Maliki shows up
00:11:52.760 wearing this shirt
00:11:53.460 and CAS is called
00:11:54.560 that that very day.
00:11:55.960 And CAS did actually
00:11:57.480 follow through?
00:11:58.040 They did.
00:11:58.380 They did a house visit
00:11:59.120 with you,
00:11:59.460 did they not?
00:11:59.720 They came the next day
00:12:00.480 to the school.
00:12:01.700 She was at the school
00:12:02.420 when she called me
00:12:03.180 because she wanted permission
00:12:03.940 to speak to the kids.
00:12:05.120 We had an hour long
00:12:06.400 conversation,
00:12:07.400 the worker and I.
00:12:08.760 We talked about
00:12:09.400 kind of everything
00:12:10.000 that was going on
00:12:10.920 in our particular family
00:12:12.220 and how I'd been
00:12:13.240 very honest with the school
00:12:14.280 because we go through
00:12:15.420 a few things
00:12:15.880 being that I'm a single mom.
00:12:17.300 So I was honest
00:12:18.120 with the school.
00:12:18.720 I was honest with her.
00:12:19.660 She said she was glad
00:12:20.460 that she called.
00:12:21.720 She was going to speak
00:12:22.540 to the kids
00:12:23.120 and then she was
00:12:24.140 to do a house visit
00:12:24.840 and we made arrangements
00:12:25.520 for it to be
00:12:26.000 just this past Monday.
00:12:27.680 Okay.
00:12:28.340 And what was the determination
00:12:30.060 from the house visit?
00:12:31.320 That they were perfectly safe
00:12:32.620 and there was no worry
00:12:33.680 for them whatsoever.
00:12:35.200 Okay.
00:12:35.620 They were in no danger.
00:12:36.760 They had a good home life
00:12:38.080 and they have a mother
00:12:39.920 who fights for them
00:12:40.580 and that she even agreed
00:12:41.820 they should stand up
00:12:42.460 for what they believe in.
00:12:43.460 Yeah.
00:12:44.440 So this is stunning.
00:12:46.060 So there are a bunch of kids
00:12:48.500 that go to support you
00:12:50.500 because they believe in you
00:12:51.600 and your freedom of expression.
00:12:53.160 One of them was your brother
00:12:54.180 but Desmond, your brother
00:12:57.340 is also suspended
00:12:59.300 for daring to go
00:13:02.100 and most of them
00:13:02.800 wrote it on their hands
00:13:03.640 you were saying.
00:13:04.060 Some wrote it on paper
00:13:04.840 and then taped it.
00:13:05.620 Desmond wrote it on paper
00:13:06.380 and taped it to his shirt.
00:13:07.460 Okay.
00:13:07.700 But he had a dozen in his pocket
00:13:09.020 so every time they told him
00:13:10.040 to take it off
00:13:10.540 or they took it off
00:13:11.380 he would just take another one
00:13:13.220 and tape it
00:13:13.620 and then he would tape them
00:13:14.320 on the walls
00:13:14.820 and the children had it
00:13:15.680 on their hands.
00:13:16.520 Yeah.
00:13:16.980 And the group was called,
00:13:18.240 the group of children
00:13:18.820 that had it on their hands
00:13:19.480 were all separated from Malachi
00:13:20.820 and brought to the office
00:13:22.100 and threatened with suspensions
00:13:23.220 as well to silence them.
00:13:24.820 Wow.
00:13:24.840 Yeah.
00:13:25.400 And then they were sent back
00:13:26.580 and then I was called
00:13:27.540 to pick Malachi up on day two.
00:13:29.340 Wow.
00:13:29.940 Do you know how many
00:13:30.500 kids approximately?
00:13:32.320 Probably around 10 or 11.
00:13:34.160 Wow.
00:13:34.540 Including me,
00:13:35.140 probably 12.
00:13:36.220 These were high school,
00:13:37.000 these were the high school students.
00:13:37.840 The elementary school
00:13:38.520 weren't partaking in them.
00:13:39.740 Right, right.
00:13:40.480 Except Des
00:13:40.960 because he's in elementary.
00:13:42.100 Oh, okay.
00:13:42.760 He's my brother
00:13:43.440 and he said he wanted to stay
00:13:44.740 so I allowed him.
00:13:47.820 So,
00:13:49.220 so at this point
00:13:50.440 you're suspended now
00:13:51.860 six days.
00:13:53.080 Yeah, six days.
00:13:53.500 It was 20.
00:13:54.500 It was going to be 20.
00:13:55.720 But she called to say
00:13:56.640 that she was going to reduce it
00:13:57.580 from 20 to six.
00:13:59.200 Yeah.
00:13:59.500 Okay.
00:14:00.220 And one of the things
00:14:01.260 that happens
00:14:01.800 it's end of the year time
00:14:02.860 at high school
00:14:03.720 because you would have
00:14:04.380 lost your high school year
00:14:05.440 or something like that
00:14:06.000 had you been suspended
00:14:07.120 for 20 days.
00:14:08.960 But one of the things
00:14:09.920 that happens too
00:14:10.820 is track and field
00:14:12.500 is at the end of the year
00:14:13.320 every year
00:14:13.760 and that for you
00:14:14.920 being a big lad
00:14:15.700 must have been a great thing
00:14:17.040 but you couldn't participate.
00:14:19.020 No, it's actually tomorrow
00:14:19.960 but I'm kicked out
00:14:20.940 until Monday the 29th
00:14:23.180 so I can't participate.
00:14:24.160 And he's a lead
00:14:24.760 in track and field.
00:14:25.500 I'm one of the best
00:14:26.440 at that school.
00:14:28.140 So,
00:14:28.740 this is a
00:14:29.760 very pointed
00:14:31.620 retaliation,
00:14:33.380 very pointed
00:14:34.020 indoctrination.
00:14:35.140 In fact,
00:14:35.820 on the
00:14:36.280 in terms of
00:14:38.800 indoctrination
00:14:39.500 there's even more
00:14:40.340 to the story
00:14:40.980 because
00:14:41.660 they sent you
00:14:42.960 a program
00:14:44.520 for indoctrination
00:14:45.480 or whatever
00:14:46.180 they called it.
00:14:46.740 they sent me
00:14:48.300 a
00:14:48.680 because he was
00:14:49.340 suspended
00:14:49.680 for over five days
00:14:51.000 they sent me
00:14:52.060 a link to
00:14:52.620 well,
00:14:53.120 they sent me
00:14:53.480 the paper
00:14:54.140 to sign
00:14:54.680 that he gets
00:14:55.260 put into
00:14:55.700 a learning program
00:14:57.940 in Kingston
00:14:58.800 through the
00:14:59.580 Limestone District
00:15:00.360 School Board
00:15:00.920 where basically
00:15:01.780 he's taught
00:15:02.300 how to correct
00:15:02.920 the behavior
00:15:03.480 that led
00:15:04.340 to his suspension.
00:15:05.420 So,
00:15:06.020 basically
00:15:06.400 they want to
00:15:07.620 re-educate him
00:15:08.380 as to why
00:15:09.360 he is so wrong
00:15:10.280 and they are so right.
00:15:12.060 I was not going to go to that.
00:15:12.960 I refused.
00:15:15.080 Okay,
00:15:15.900 so
00:15:16.380 this is
00:15:17.660 just
00:15:18.180 for one thing
00:15:19.160 it's an unfolding story
00:15:20.180 but
00:15:20.860 thank God
00:15:21.700 there are parents
00:15:22.200 like you
00:15:22.640 and young men
00:15:23.800 like you
00:15:24.240 because
00:15:25.320 we've got to
00:15:26.960 stand up
00:15:27.800 for our beliefs.
00:15:29.100 You can't have
00:15:30.000 the country
00:15:30.720 Canada
00:15:31.440 taken over
00:15:32.360 by a
00:15:33.760 what really
00:15:35.040 amounts to
00:15:35.460 a religious mindset.
00:15:36.700 It is a
00:15:38.060 religion being
00:15:38.960 foisted
00:15:39.600 upon Canadians.
00:15:41.460 No,
00:15:41.840 I mean
00:15:42.140 in large part too
00:15:43.500 thanks to our
00:15:44.060 Prime Minister
00:15:44.500 who says
00:15:44.940 these are
00:15:45.260 Canadian values
00:15:46.000 which is
00:15:46.320 a complete
00:15:46.820 utter lie.
00:15:47.820 Yeah,
00:15:47.960 that's not true.
00:15:49.500 I do
00:15:50.220 go back
00:15:50.760 too
00:15:51.020 to stress
00:15:52.100 how sad
00:15:52.780 it is
00:15:53.100 that
00:15:53.340 he
00:15:53.820 calls
00:15:54.240 himself
00:15:54.500 a Catholic
00:15:54.960 and yet
00:15:56.220 the bishops
00:15:57.960 really need to do
00:15:58.700 their homework
00:15:59.180 in terms of
00:15:59.760 correcting
00:16:00.140 as well.
00:16:02.020 But
00:16:02.300 that hasn't
00:16:03.360 happened yet
00:16:03.940 but
00:16:04.720 at least
00:16:05.300 you guys
00:16:05.600 are standing.
00:16:06.760 What are
00:16:07.240 your plans
00:16:07.720 for the future?
00:16:08.680 How do you
00:16:08.900 think this is going
00:16:09.340 to play out?
00:16:09.760 I'm not
00:16:11.260 I'm not
00:16:12.140 I was
00:16:12.600 I was
00:16:13.040 thinking about
00:16:13.900 going back
00:16:15.120 on Monday
00:16:15.580 the 29th
00:16:16.220 and I thought
00:16:17.580 about
00:16:18.020 wearing the shirt
00:16:19.780 again
00:16:20.020 but then
00:16:20.400 I thought
00:16:21.320 about maybe
00:16:21.840 doing some
00:16:22.460 sort of
00:16:23.040 social experiment
00:16:23.860 and seeing
00:16:24.400 what happens
00:16:24.900 if I don't
00:16:25.220 wear the shirt
00:16:25.600 and how they treat me.
00:16:26.760 So I
00:16:27.400 you know
00:16:27.960 I was thinking
00:16:28.540 about that
00:16:28.960 but I don't
00:16:29.780 particularly know
00:16:31.160 what I want to do
00:16:31.720 yet
00:16:31.940 regarding that.
00:16:33.020 What's interesting
00:16:33.760 too though
00:16:34.320 is a lot
00:16:34.800 of these
00:16:35.060 children
00:16:35.380 who supported
00:16:36.020 him
00:16:36.360 all of their
00:16:37.320 parents
00:16:37.800 were supporting
00:16:38.400 them and saying
00:16:38.920 you go
00:16:39.560 and I've got
00:16:40.240 your back
00:16:40.760 and a couple
00:16:41.660 of the children
00:16:42.080 are raised
00:16:42.380 by the grandparents
00:16:43.040 so they're older
00:16:43.840 and they're all
00:16:44.940 supporting these
00:16:45.580 kids because
00:16:46.180 the day after
00:16:46.740 he was suspended
00:16:47.520 Desmond was suspended
00:16:48.440 the same day
00:16:49.120 so they're both
00:16:50.080 on suspension
00:16:50.680 and then another
00:16:51.780 boy was suspended
00:16:52.460 the next day
00:16:53.080 and then his
00:16:53.640 sister was brought
00:16:54.360 in
00:16:54.640 another girl
00:16:55.540 was brought
00:16:55.920 in just
00:16:56.280 for believing
00:16:57.040 it
00:16:57.440 she was brought
00:16:58.520 in to told
00:16:59.000 to not talk
00:17:00.180 about it
00:17:00.640 she was passed
00:17:01.880 by in the
00:17:02.360 hallway by one
00:17:02.900 of the teachers
00:17:03.340 who told her
00:17:03.880 stop it
00:17:04.740 she said
00:17:05.480 stop what
00:17:05.980 and they said
00:17:06.440 you know
00:17:06.660 what we're
00:17:06.900 mean
00:17:07.100 and the other
00:17:08.360 girl just
00:17:09.360 said it in
00:17:09.860 class and was
00:17:10.540 called out
00:17:11.000 for hate speech
00:17:11.740 she was homophobic
00:17:13.140 homophobic
00:17:13.800 that was right
00:17:14.500 homophobic
00:17:15.080 and disrespectful
00:17:16.520 to the
00:17:17.620 the community
00:17:18.980 to the
00:17:19.740 to the
00:17:20.280 yeah
00:17:21.480 so
00:17:21.860 wow
00:17:22.760 which is crazy
00:17:23.360 and I'm
00:17:23.980 she had messaged
00:17:24.840 me and she had
00:17:25.380 said this is
00:17:26.120 happening
00:17:26.420 and I said
00:17:27.480 just make sure
00:17:28.240 that if you get
00:17:28.780 called in and he
00:17:29.500 or she talks
00:17:30.440 to you
00:17:30.840 record
00:17:31.960 record
00:17:33.600 that they just
00:17:34.540 called her in
00:17:35.060 and left her there
00:17:35.740 and never came
00:17:36.300 in to talk to her
00:17:36.920 so
00:17:37.780 what's interesting
00:17:39.420 too is that
00:17:40.540 you
00:17:41.320 when you were
00:17:42.120 confronted by
00:17:42.880 your vice principal
00:17:43.720 took out your
00:17:44.900 phone and recorded
00:17:45.600 it and he saw
00:17:46.200 you were recording
00:17:46.860 it
00:17:47.120 let's play a clip
00:17:48.720 of that if we
00:17:49.260 could
00:17:49.680 the very thing
00:17:50.580 you're for
00:17:51.100 is the very
00:17:51.500 thing you
00:17:52.020 live by
00:17:53.240 black lives
00:17:55.020 matter
00:17:55.400 made up of
00:17:57.480 you know
00:17:58.820 don't be
00:17:59.360 discriminatory
00:18:00.340 the one thing
00:18:01.700 this is
00:18:03.000 discrimination
00:18:03.580 I'm being sent
00:18:04.980 home over
00:18:05.320 something I
00:18:05.780 believe in
00:18:06.260 so
00:18:06.560 on the school
00:18:07.660 board's website
00:18:08.280 right
00:18:08.580 around
00:18:09.180 as it relates
00:18:10.080 to like
00:18:10.320 human rights
00:18:10.940 okay
00:18:11.840 there's a
00:18:12.120 definition
00:18:12.520 around like
00:18:13.060 hate speech
00:18:13.520 hate activities
00:18:14.220 so hate
00:18:15.680 activities are
00:18:16.220 incidents that
00:18:16.780 occur in the
00:18:17.240 school community
00:18:17.820 expressing intolerance
00:18:18.940 based on
00:18:19.460 gender expression
00:18:22.980 gender identity
00:18:24.300 language
00:18:24.980 national or
00:18:26.060 ethnic origin
00:18:26.700 race
00:18:27.460 religion
00:18:27.780 sex
00:18:28.100 sexual orientation
00:18:29.140 or any
00:18:29.780 protective
00:18:30.140 characteristic
00:18:30.740 so Kate
00:18:55.500 what do you
00:18:57.180 think of when
00:18:57.680 you hear your
00:18:58.200 son live
00:18:59.460 as it will
00:18:59.980 as it were
00:19:00.980 being confronted
00:19:02.640 by his vice
00:19:03.660 principal and
00:19:04.180 standing up for
00:19:04.580 the faith and
00:19:05.000 for the truth
00:19:05.500 I'm proud that
00:19:06.740 he's strong
00:19:08.040 he's got a
00:19:09.460 good moral
00:19:09.820 compass and
00:19:10.560 he knows what's
00:19:11.180 right and he
00:19:11.580 knows what's
00:19:11.960 wrong and
00:19:12.840 the difference
00:19:13.480 is is that
00:19:14.420 well the
00:19:15.620 difference in
00:19:15.980 all these
00:19:16.320 children is that
00:19:17.000 they don't all
00:19:17.720 have somebody
00:19:18.440 at home that
00:19:19.080 supports them
00:19:19.640 they don't have
00:19:20.840 parents or
00:19:21.500 grandparents or
00:19:22.160 family members
00:19:22.660 that are strong
00:19:23.680 in what they
00:19:24.040 believe because
00:19:24.800 they're being
00:19:25.480 bulldozed in
00:19:26.220 their own
00:19:26.520 workplace and
00:19:27.280 in society as
00:19:28.360 well and
00:19:28.760 they're struggling
00:19:29.380 with how they
00:19:30.320 should stand up
00:19:30.880 for themselves
00:19:31.360 and most
00:19:31.800 people stay
00:19:32.240 quiet and I
00:19:34.220 have a hard
00:19:34.720 time staying
00:19:35.420 quiet about
00:19:36.160 things that are
00:19:36.820 wrong and
00:19:37.860 they've seen
00:19:38.480 it but I
00:19:39.200 also come from
00:19:39.820 a family that
00:19:40.440 has all of my
00:19:41.740 life been
00:19:42.200 activists and
00:19:43.420 so they see
00:19:45.280 when it's right
00:19:46.160 it's right and
00:19:46.940 when people are
00:19:47.680 being walked on
00:19:48.520 and run over
00:19:49.660 you stand up and
00:19:50.560 you fight for
00:19:51.060 those that can't
00:19:52.120 always fight for
00:19:52.660 themselves and
00:19:53.640 when he stands
00:19:54.260 up all the other
00:19:55.920 kids that feel
00:19:56.640 weak now have
00:19:57.680 someone to look
00:19:58.360 up to and
00:19:59.260 they follow
00:19:59.800 him and
00:20:00.660 they say how
00:20:01.260 they feel too
00:20:01.960 so he's giving
00:20:03.140 voices not just
00:20:04.260 to himself but
00:20:05.080 he's giving
00:20:05.460 voices to all
00:20:06.220 these kids and
00:20:07.420 there are a lot
00:20:08.020 of them that
00:20:08.740 are being
00:20:09.020 silenced there
00:20:09.720 and that was
00:20:10.580 the main
00:20:11.000 message I kept
00:20:11.620 saying to the
00:20:12.340 superintendent and
00:20:13.620 the principal you
00:20:14.600 are silencing a
00:20:15.920 massive amount of
00:20:16.980 children at this
00:20:17.560 school you are
00:20:18.680 telling them that
00:20:19.380 how they believe
00:20:20.420 their Christian
00:20:21.300 values are
00:20:22.340 somehow hateful
00:20:23.520 and discriminatory
00:20:24.500 against the other
00:20:25.520 children when they
00:20:26.600 are peacefully and
00:20:27.500 quietly protesting
00:20:28.340 how they believe
00:20:29.080 well in on the
00:20:31.220 reverse they're
00:20:32.200 shoving lgbtq down
00:20:33.900 these children's
00:20:34.580 throats and
00:20:35.540 telling them they
00:20:36.060 have to believe
00:20:36.820 this or they're
00:20:37.740 hateful but you
00:20:38.840 can't believe how
00:20:39.540 you believe you
00:20:40.220 can't be Christian
00:20:40.880 you can't have
00:20:41.820 values and morals
00:20:42.700 because that's
00:20:43.840 actually hate and
00:20:45.300 so it's really
00:20:46.380 confusing to these
00:20:47.420 kids who don't
00:20:48.300 have somebody
00:20:49.440 strong at home
00:20:50.200 supporting them
00:20:50.840 I support Maliki
00:20:52.320 100%
00:20:53.060 100%
00:20:54.460 Maliki what's
00:20:55.880 if you could
00:20:57.240 speak to
00:20:58.360 young people
00:20:59.320 in your
00:21:00.860 situation or
00:21:01.680 young Christians
00:21:03.500 in the school
00:21:04.460 system in Ontario
00:21:05.340 what would be your
00:21:06.320 message to them
00:21:06.940 I would say that
00:21:08.340 you know
00:21:08.900 you have to
00:21:11.820 be the
00:21:13.200 voice that
00:21:14.100 some people
00:21:14.720 don't have
00:21:15.840 like some
00:21:16.220 people are
00:21:17.120 afraid and
00:21:17.800 they sometimes
00:21:19.280 don't want to
00:21:20.180 deal with the
00:21:20.940 consequences and
00:21:21.700 repercussions of
00:21:22.360 some things of
00:21:22.940 certain things and
00:21:23.960 I would just say
00:21:24.840 that you have to
00:21:25.560 be that voice
00:21:26.340 that people have
00:21:28.920 to follow people
00:21:29.600 have to hear loud
00:21:30.860 enough for people
00:21:31.360 to hear and loud
00:21:32.560 enough for for
00:21:34.220 people to understand
00:21:36.440 what it is that
00:21:38.640 you are trying to
00:21:39.600 say and I'm I'm
00:21:42.880 glad that I that
00:21:44.320 I stood up and I
00:21:45.380 was that I was
00:21:46.140 that voice because
00:21:46.840 a lot of kids
00:21:47.660 agreed with me and
00:21:49.000 I didn't know how
00:21:49.900 many kids agreed
00:21:50.460 with me until I
00:21:51.360 was that voice
00:21:51.960 you'd be surprised
00:21:53.320 until you are that
00:21:54.220 voice you have to
00:21:55.540 find that strength
00:21:56.480 somewhere inside
00:21:57.620 you wherever it
00:21:58.900 is and you have
00:21:59.680 to just embrace
00:22:01.420 it that's what I
00:22:02.360 would say that's
00:22:02.880 what I would say
00:22:03.300 beautiful
00:22:04.200 there are going
00:22:05.640 to be a lot of
00:22:06.060 people praying for
