When you ask good teachers why they always answer a question with another question, the usual reply is, “Do we?”

Thanks to generous grants from the Law Foundation of Ontario, and Alan and Judy Broadbent, the Canadian Civil Liberties Education Trust (CCLET) had student teachers asking hard questions about their rights and freedoms in every Ontario faculty of education during the 2004-2005 academic year.

In addition to appearing in faculties of education, CCLET staff members Danielle McLaughlin, Noa Mendelsohn Aviv, Jeremy Patrick-Justice, Motek Sherman, Alexi Nicole Wood, and volunteer Dr. Harry MacKay have engaged thousands of high school students across Ontario in democratic value-balancing exercises.
