(CBC) The Windsor Islamic Association (WIA) says it’s had a “constructive meeting” with the local public school board after the majority of students at a local school — some connected to a mosque — were absent the day the Pride flag was raised.
Some families who attend the Windsor Mosque also send their kids to Northwood, a public elementary school about 200 metres down the road. A large number of students were absent at Northwood and other schools on June 1, part of what appeared to be a Canada-wide protest associated with the Campaign Life Coalition.
The WIA told CBC News this week that it subsequently met with the school principal and superintendent.
