Commission rules against Webber Academy in Muslim prayer case
Alberta's leading independent school, the Webber Academy, was just ordered by that province's so-called "Human Rights Commission" to pay $26,000 to the families of two Muslim students who were refused permission to pray in that non-denominational school.
Nobody is allowed to pray at the Webber Academy, though.
The school is very multicultural but they don't allow prayer or other religious activities there.
But instead of moving their children to a Muslim school, these families ran to the government and cried "discrimination" -- for being treated like everyone else at the school.
Of course, the HRCs sided with these troublemakers.
As usual, the Webber Academy is on the hook for the settlement plus their legal costs, while the Muslim families didn't pay a dime -- taxpayers footed the bill.
This comes on the heels of a Supreme Court ruling that a Quebec city council can't open their meetings with a (Christian) prayer from now on.
It's a disgrace.
