The Board has capitulated to a witch hunt by groups seeking to suppress free speech critical of the Israeli government. Ms. Shoufani's suspension must be lifted immediately.

Teachers need to be free to speak up for what they believe in outside of the classroom.

Free speech cannot be punished , and terrorizing people opposed to Israel is unconscionable

I'm a Jewish Israeli citizen. I support the Palestinian struggle for human rights and self-determination. I strongly object the political persecution in North America and Europe against persons and organizations who democratically fight for these purposes.

As a retired professor of history, I support Ms. Shoufani's having spoken up for the Palestinian right to self-defence and a homeland.

How dare she speak out about a terror state that is supported by our government.

A teacher should always be allowed to present the facts.

It is important to allow freedom of speech and not be intimidated by groups who do not want Nadia to express her views.

Surely that minority defending justice for the Palestinians should have their right to express their views protected. Live we not in a 'democracy'?

Why are we teaching our kids to stay silent when a country is vomiting genocide? No one should be prosecuted when speaking the truth

I support courage in the face of injustice. The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board must immediately reinstate Ms. Shoufani,

This is wrong . Israel is a genocidal regime . Israel is a racist state . Canada is a free country with freec speach and students deserve to hear the truth , not the government / big business view .

Criticism of Israel is not Anti-Semitic. Israel = Colonial State, which breaks International Laws & Western Media does not report this truth.

Why is the truth controversial?

The result of the courageous action taken by Ms Shoufani hopefully will result in the elimination of public funding to the Roman Catholic Separate school system. The Dufferin-Peel Catholic school board trustees in question are total hypocrites. They do notsupport free speech unless it conforms to their own religious self interests. Shame on them.
