Online petition targets OCDSB trustee who cut off speech against trans students' use of washrooms

"Let the haters hate. I will not resign."

Mar 22, 2023

An online petition is demanding that Ottawa-Carleton District School Board trustee Dr. Nili Kaplan-Myrth be removed from her elected position after she cut off the microphone of a parent who objected to the use of washrooms by transgender students during a recent meeting.

Kaplan-Myrth, an outspoken Glebe physician, was elected to the school board last fall. During a March 7 board meeting, she was acting as chair of the board when she muted the microphone of a speaker who questioned the use of washrooms by transgender students and said he had concerns about the safety of his 12-year-old daughter.
