School boards have a duty to provide an educational environment that is free from discriminatory harassment. This rule was affirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada on October 20, 2005, when it dismissed an application for leave to appeal from a BC Human Rights Tribunal finding of discrimination against a BC school board relating to the homophobic harassment of one of its students (see ''[https://decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-l-csc-a/en/item/12398/index.do North Vancouver School District No 44 v Jubran]'', [2005] SCCA No 260 and [https://www.canlii.org/en/bc/bcca/doc/2005/2005bcca201/2005bcca201.html North Vancouver School District No 44 v Jubran], 2005 BCCA 201 at paras 91–102).
