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.)
What's the dress code violation? Wearing relaxing clothes in the summer?

So they skipped detention, suspension, and moved straight to arresting.... wtf. That's fuckedup.
