Free Speech? Democracy? Human and children rights?

Nadia has my full support. There is no justification whatsoever for her suspension.

We must have the freedom in Canada to pursue and expose truth and justice non-violently.

Under Charter rights, Ms. Shoufani has the right to freedom of speech. But also, we need the courage to recognize the reality of what life is like for Palestinians, and to be able to challenge the unlawful actions of the state of Israel without recrimination.

The actions of the DP School Board are totally outrageous in a democratic free society. Israel is guilty of so many war crimes and abuses of international law, she should be commended for supporting justice and morality. Again shame on the School Board.

The real threat to our democracy and to freedom of speech comes from those who equate criticism of Israel and support for victims of Israeli policy with anti-Semitism.

The actions of the board are completely unacceptable and only further the oppression experienced by the Palestinian people to even speak for their cause and for their freedom. Repeal this monstrous decision immediately.

I strongly oppose the suspension of Nadia Shoufani for speaking out against the crimes of Israeli government at the rally. This suspension infringes on the Charter right of all Canadians to freedom of expression.

Ms. Shoufani surely has a strong case to sue her accusers for defamation, those in the media that acted in concert with them, and the school board for unlawful suspension from her job.

How outrageous that you would shut down free speech in favor of McCarthyite tactics. My Canadian father would be ashamed of your actions
