Apparently this was in protest of a uniform enforcement blitz that the school did the day before, where students were pulled out of class if they were wearing shorts or if their skirts were too short. The protest organizers claim mostly girls were targeted, which could be bullshit, or it could be that teenage girls these days will take any excuse to wear next to nothing, whether it's to school or work.
The protest was supposed to be confined to the lawn across the street from the school, but this kid and some others apparently kept crossing the street and protesting on school property. Police say they only arrested him after he was repeatedly warned to stay off of school grounds. Some reports even say that he wasn't actually a student at this particular school. Reports also say that he was later released with no charges.
I'm not generally inclined to defend Ottawa police, but overall, this appears to be pretty much justified and proportional.
Exactly. A 16-year-old doesn't get to show up at school in an outfit that belongs on the beach and then complain about "sexual harrassment" when a responsible adult tells her to wear a dress that goes down to the knee. That's the polar opposite of sexual harrassment: those rules are in place to protect the kids, and if they're too dumb to understand that, it's only more evidence that the rules are necessary.

Literally trusting media that was subsidized by Trudeau. Literally - lmao
Title's kind of misleading. They're protesting over enforcement of a dress code. It's a Catholic school, they don't like short shorts, which is what this is about.
In my day, Catholic (aka, "Separate") school kids in Ontario wore uniforms that forced girls to wear these ugly skirts ...
(I also remember the tempest in a teapot over "full funding", which really only affected Separate School system ratepayers.)
No, it was because the subsequent protesters trespassed on school grounds. The protests were sparked by detention/suspension.
It's really a tempest in a teapot, because they don't ban shorts per se, just short shorts (ie, shorts that are closer to the crotch than halfway up the thigh.)

Never trust a teenager to not be in the wrong. They're like wrongness machines, constantly producing incorrect opinions and making horrible decisions.
They're one of very few demographics I trust even less than Canadian cops.

As opposed to trusting a bunch of teenagers throwing a temper tantrum because they were told they can't attend school dressed like hookers.
They should be allowed to protest even for stupid reasons, roflmao
you werent a genius at that age.
They were allowed to protest. This arrest was for trespassing.
What's the dress code violation? Wearing relaxing clothes in the summer?

Make your own school if you want your own rules
Oh but wait, not like that!
So they skipped detention, suspension, and moved straight to arresting.... wtf. That's fuckedup.

Its nonsense like this that makes me wish there were a more honest Rebel News.
We are seeing the full descent into tyranny. this is why you dont let them call peaceful protestors terrrorists. THIS is ALWAYS their next step!!
