I don't know which direction they are going when someone is pointed out for example as 'a trans man' but here you go....
In October of 2008 Jan Buterman was fired from his job as a substitute teacher with Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools for being trans. There has been a long, drawn out legal case ever since.
Progress Alberta filed a FOIP request for the legal costs associated with this case. According to that FOIP request the St. Albert Catholic school system has spent at least $367,188 in public taxpayer dollars on legal costs for this case
Yes. That's right more than $367,000 public taxpayer dollars have been spent in order to ensure that a 100 percent publicly funded school board really can fire a teacher for being trans.
So, can St. Albert Catholic fire Jan Buterman for being trans? That is still to be determined. The case has been bogged down in legal minutiae and procedural handwringing since 2009 when Buterman filed his original complaint. The last time this story hit the news was in March 2016 and the headline talked about time and money running out for Buterman.
