I honestly am still shaking a bit because they dropped the investigation and Ghada is clear to stay. It feels like such a massive weight is finally off my shoulders even if I keep looking over my own shoulder to make sure the world actually stayed sane. Thank you for …

Recently a group of vocal parents orchestrated a campaign targeting a Markham elementary school principal (Ghada Sadaka), for sharing her personal opinions on Facebook posts perceived by them as Islamophobic comments.
A close scrutiny of the Facebooks posts indicates clearly that The Principal of the school was appealing to the non-radicals to exercise their right of freedom of speech, guaranteed by The Charter of Rights and Freedoms of Canada, by raising the following key question:“Where are the moderate Muslims every time acts of violence ,perpetrated by religious radicals against innocent civilians, claim dozens of victims attacked simply because they think differently, dress differently, adhere to different religious values, and venerate freedom of speech?”
We strongly believe in what Mohandas Ghandi said decades ago: “An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.”
We urge decision makers who are investigating the allegations made by Muslim parents, that the errors promoted by vocal parents determined to destroy the future of a school principal, cannot become a yardstick to measure truth simply because the very same parents have managed to propagate the error via a biased media dedicated to political correctness.
We the silent majority urge all decision makers to defend the most valuable freedom we Canadians have-Freedom of Speech, and repeat to every religious fanatic who cannot tolerate freedom of speech the following statement:
“I am a Canadian, a free Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.”
Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, July 1, 1960, House of Commons

Seeing this much energy behind the cause is honestly overwhelming in the best way. I keep thinking about how people told me nobody would care about this case but clearly they were wrong because you all keep showing up.

I keep refreshing the page seeing those numbers go up and it feels like we are right on the edge of breaking through to the first hundred mark. If you could just grab the link and drop it into a group chat somewhere it would really help us get over this hump before the board notices us.

Oui pour la liberté.d ' expression .oui pour le respect et l acceptation de la différence.Ghada est une femme tres ouverte et tres cultivee . Je pense et je croix que l islamisme n est qu 'un visage défiguré de l 'islam.
I do not think that the principal was discriminatory or spreading hate. She was stating her stand against violence. Tolerance is not just a one sided virtue those claiming to be fighting against intolerance should not behave like their adversaries.
I urge officials, police and judges to stand up to bullies - bullies who try to present themselves as victims, who want to take away our freedom of speech! Nowhere does it say people have a right not to be offended - nor should we!
I strongly suppořt principal Ghada Sadaka and the freedom of speech and I refuse my fundamental freedoms to be eroded by religious fanaticism and I will raise my children and grand children to uphold the Canadian heritage of freedom.
Typical case of blowing things out of proportion, for attention in the media. People need to stop playing the victim card, and open their eyes to reality. Ghada did nothing wrong and should have never been scrutinized for her beliefs.
I support people who advocate Freedom of Speech, but not those Individuals who seek the Right to Tell Others What to Think and Insist on these People to Negate the Laws of Canada, in Preference of People Dedicated to Laws that Favour A Religious Dictatorship. Comments? John Sheahan.
Come on Canadians. You don't to lose your right to free speech as are we in the US under Trump!

Don't steal away our freedom of speech! This poor woman has been targeted simply because she expressed an opinion. Are we all going to be fired or go to jail when we express opinions that the government doesn't approve of?
