A lawyer for a Canadian teenager who was suspended from his Catholic high
school after opposing transgender ideology has filed a human rights
complaint alleging religious discrimination.

Attorney James Kitchen with Liberty Coalition Canada filed the application
to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal last week on behalf of his client
Josh Alexander, 17, a junior who was first suspended from St. Joseph’s
High School in Renfrew, Ontario, and issued a trespass notice in November.

Alexander drew the ire of school leadership when he organized a student
walkout at the public Catholic high school against biological males in
girls' bathrooms, according to the complaint. He also reportedly argued in
class that God created two unchangeable genders.

The complaint recounts that students erupted during a math class when
Alexander argued against the school's bathroom policy. When he claimed
that men have penises and women have vaginas, his classmates reportedly
called him a "misogynist," a "racist," and a "homophobic transphobe,"
while the teacher allegedly "nodded and gestured at the students yelling
at Josh, indicating his approval of the students’ name-calling."

Alexander was ultimately suspended and told that his continued attendance
would be detrimental to the physical and mental well-being of transgender
students, the complaint says. His suspension was technically lifted in
January but has effectively continued after the Renfrew County Catholic
District School Board "excluded" him for the rest of the school year.

Principal Derek Lennox would allow him to return to school only if the
teen stopped using the "dead name," or given name, of transgender students
and avoided attending classes with two transgender students, according to
the complaint. When he attempted to return to school on Feb. 6, he was
arrested for allegedly violating the exclusion order.

The school board has declined to hear Alexander's appeal regarding the
suspension, arguing that he has not withdrawn from parental control
despite being provided affidavit evidence to the contrary, according to a
letter sent to Kitchen in January.

Kitchen also filed an application at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice
last week to compel the school board to hear his client's appeal.

"Kicking Josh out of school for expressing his Christian beliefs regarding
sexuality and gender is unlawful religious discrimination," Liberty
Coalition Canada said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "The
application details the shockingly discriminatory conduct of teachers and
students at St. Joseph’s, as well as Principal Lennox’s retaliatory
decisions to suspend and exclude Josh for expressing his beliefs and
organizing a student walk-out to protest St. Joseph’s policy of permitting
biological males to enter and use the girls’ washrooms."

"Among other things, Josh is seeking from the HRTO a declaration that the
School Board discriminated against him on the basis of his Christian
beliefs," the coalition added. The school did not immediately respond to
Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The complaint points out that Alexander describes himself as a Christian
and has protested transgender ideology because of his faith.

"Josh believes he is called by the Lord Jesus Christ to proclaim the truth
which includes telling those around him about the Lord’s design for gender
and to openly oppose the School Board’s policy of permitting males to
enter the girls’ washrooms," the complaint said. "Josh believes he would
commit a sin if he disregarded the Lord’s calling on his life and remained
silent."

Kitchen told Fox News Digital in February that he believes freedom of
religion and freedom of expression are in steep decline in Canada, but
noted that religious liberty is evaporating more quickly. He said many
Canadians do not understand the gravity of the threat their government
increasingly poses to religious freedom, which he said is "essentially
dead" after withering "for about 10 or 15 years."
