Keswickians and the Karate Kid

A 15 year old with a black belt in Tae Kwon Do uses his skills in an act of self-defense and gets kicked out of school for his trouble and is charged with assault.

"Not surprisingly, the Karate Kid's parents have been wondering what kind of nutty country they've landed in. The entire system has piled on their son, and even though 400 students turned out to denounce the school and the police for punishing the wrong guy, from their point of view, Canada hasn't exactly given them the warmest welcome."

Sheesh!!

But there's more. Barbara Hall, head of the Ontario Human Rights Gestapo, has poked her nose in. We can drum up some business here, Barbara, can't we.
