After a Montreal teen was allegedly called racial slurs and punched in the face by a teammate, his mother is taking a hockey association and the Lester B. Pearson School Board to the human rights commission.
Before the Dec. 8 incident, J.C. had repeatedly been called racial slurs by his teammate in his former team's Snapchat group chat, Hart says. CBC has reviewed the messages which contain multiple usages of the N-word.Pro Action Hockey said in a statement that it took immediate measures with John Rennie High School to address the event and "that the appropriate disciplinary actions were put in place.
"We will continue to work closely with the school to ensure all students participating in our program can train and play in a safe and positive environment." It wants the school board to adopt a zero-tolerance rule for racism and ban the use of the N-word from schools, said executive director Fo Niemi.
