Subject: Chief Commissioner's Decision re: Ashu Solo against City of Saskatoon and Randy Donauer
Prairie
South School Division,
In
the attached judgment issued last week in Ashu Solo v. City of Saskatoon and
Randy Donauer, the chief commissioner of the Saskatchewan Human
Rights Commission, Judge David Arnot, says that a single prayer recitation
doesn’t cause enough harm to breach the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code, but that an ongoing
practice of prayer recitations would. Judge Arnot wrote, “The adoption of
a general practice of reciting prayers at municipal events is contrary to the Code.” His full decision is attached or is available at
Therefore,
the ongoing practice of prayer recitations at Lindale Elementary School and
Caronport Elementary School would clearly violate the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code and you need to cease and desist the
prayer recitations immediately. You should immediately read the attached
judgment and ask your school board lawyers to read it. While you’re
waiting for your school board lawyers to read it, you should immediately cease
and desist your discriminatory and bigoted prayer recitations.
Sincerely,
Ashu M. G. Solo
