Student suspended, arrested for saying God created only two genders.

A Catholic high school student in Canada was arrested after he was first suspended for saying that God created only two genders, according to a Toronto Sun report.

Sixteen-year-old Josh Alexander was suspended from St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew, Ontario, for also protesting against the use of bathrooms by transgender students. 

The school authorities told Alexander that his continued attendance would be "detrimental to the physical and mental well-being" of transgender students.

Alexander told The Epoch Times in an interview, "Offense is defined by the offended. I expressed my religious beliefs in class and it spiraled out of control. 

"Not everybody’s going to like that. That doesn’t make me a bully. It doesn’t mean I’m harassing anybody. They express their beliefs and I express mine. Mine don’t fit the narrative."

On Twitter, the teenager wrote that he was arrested and charged by Ontario police after he tried to attend class in disobedience of an exclusion order following his suspension from the school.

Alexander's lawyer, James Kitchen has alleged religious discrimination, saying the school has accused his client of "bullying" transgender students.

The lawyer is taking the matter to a human rights tribunal in Ontario. 

Kitchen told the Epoch Times, "Obviously, he doesn’t bully them as that term would be defined by … reasonable people, reasonable people.

"He’s not going to seek them out and call them names and make fun of them. But he does express his views about what these people say and what they believe and what they’re doing. And he expresses them online, and he expresses them in the class."

Since he was first suspended in November, Alexander reportedly has not been to school. He led a student action in support of the trucker convoy last year.

His suspension was lifted in January but 

the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board "excluded" him for the remainder of the school year in a technically non-disciplinary action that may continue into next year.
