Canadian Parents Challenge Refusal of School To Distribute Atheist Publication

CNews reported  yesterday that in the Canadian province of Ontario, Rene and Anna Chouinard have been granted a hearing before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario on their complaint that they were not given equal treatment, as guaranteed by the Ontario Human Rights Code, when they were refused permission to have an atheist publication distributed to 5th grade students.  The school district permits distribution of Gideon Bibles, but the school refused to allow distribution of the book "Just Pretend: A Free Thought Book for Children." The school board denies that religious discrimination is involved. Instead, they say, the book contains material that is inappropriate for distribution. [Thanks to Scott Mange for the lead.]
