“Our student organizers reported that those against the walkout threw objects, destroyed signs, shouted slurs, berated students, and trampled a Pride flag. The hostility did not come from students who walked out, but opposing groups,” the statement reads, further alleging sticks and rocks were thrown at demonstrators.Tatiana Choi, president of Spectrum, the Gay-Straight Alliance and Grade 11 student at St. Brother Andre, told CTV News Toronto they did not attend school the day after the walkout.
York Regional Police confirmed to CTV News Toronto they responded to a few reports of disturbances last Thursday and Friday at select YCDSB schools. “Additionally, officers received a report about a youth who brought a knife to school on June 9th,” Whitney said.
