The parents of an 11-year-old Mississauga student are charging that school officials violated their son's right to freedom of speech after the boy was prohibited from reading aloud a dissertation about classroom boredom.
Frank and Donna Trimboli say they were upset when their youngest son, Gianmarco, returned home from St. Sebastian Catholic School about two weeks ago with news that his speech was "unacceptable and derogatory." The teacher and principal asked him to produce another for his Grade 6 class, Mr. Trimboli said.
"I was really upset. You're taking my son's voice out of his mouth," he said last night.
What a great slogan for a return to sanity in the classroom.

A father who says "You're taking my son's voice out of his mouth," deserves a son who produces: "So the teachers will make the class funner."
