Alberta Human Right Commision and its Kangaroo Courts mistep again


Although it should be a cogent fact in relation to the private school's obligations, no mention is made in this story respecting the school's general policy respecting religious prayers on the school premises. If its policy applies generally, and is applied to all religions equally, then it is not discriminating against Muslims and their religion and the Human Rights Commission should have no jurisdictional basis for even accepting the complaint.  Certainly the Charter of Rights has no application here.

Section 4 of the Alberta legislation bans DISCRIMINATION against anyone "in respect of any goods, services, accommodation or facilities that are customarily available to the public",  "because of the race, religious beliefs, colour, gender, gender identity, gender expression, physical disability, mental disability, age, ancestry, place of origin, marital status," etc.  Any reasonable and sensible reading of section 4 does not apply to the Weber Academy as neither the complaint or any evidence showed unlawful discrimination. Only Kangaroo courts could have ruled against the school because they habitually ignore and misinterpret the law to achieve their ends.  As well, the Commission should not have accepted a complaint against the school.
