"I'm a little angry, maybe, at the unfortunate situation, especially since I had connected the situation to the values of the school board and what I had learned throughout my four years of being at the school," she said.

"I was applying that to being an advocate and making sure that those who are oppressed have a voice in our society."

It'd be great if the OCDSB school board could act with the same integrity that they're trying to instill in their students.
