Two faith-based schools that asked the Canadian Museum for Human Rights not to show their students LGBT material during tours have lost a fight in federal court to keep their identities a secret.
Sterling North Stonewall, in Stonewall, Man., and Sterling West Pembina, in St. Vincent, Minn., both lost their battle to keep their names out of material the CMHR planned to give to the CBC in 2020, in response to an access to information request.
The two schools, which now operate under the OneSchool Global banner, filed an application to prevent the CMHR from releasing the names in information about how the Winnipeg museum had censored its exhibits at the request of some visiting groups.
"We are pleased the judicial review upheld our decision to release the records. As you know, the practice of censoring content ended in 2017, and it is important for us to be transparent about what took place," Riva Harrison, vice-president of external relations and community engagement at the CMHR, said in a prepared statement.
A spokesperson for OneSchool Global said it regrets any offence caused to any individual or group.
"This incident is one which the school regrets and has learnt from. Our teachers and students all uphold our core values, which include compassion, kindness and respect for all people."
