(LifeSiteNews) – A member’s suspension from a local school council in Canada after she respectfully objected to going along with indigenous land acknowledgments was reversed.

After legal pressure, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) announced that the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board decided to “reverse” its suspension of Catherine Kronas from her position as elected School Councillor in “a significant victory for freedom of expression.”

As reported by LifeSiteNews recently, the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board was issued a legal warning from the JCCF after it suspended Kronas from a local school council over her objections to making indigenous land acknowledgments.

The JCCF said that on July 16, after a review from the Board’s Human Rights Office, it informed Kronas in writing that her personal statement had not breached its Code of Conduct.

“She is now free to resume her elected role on the school council,” the JCCF noted.

The school board, however, pointed out that despite reversing the ban, there still remains “a concern around the school council climate.”
