Glad you started a thread to call out this scumbag. I think the word "shinguardisturber" has never fit a man better. For those of you that don't remember, O'Malley lead the crusade against Calgary's Kensington abortion clinic and generally practiced every attention grabbing stunt in the book to draw attention to his concerns. Sound familiar? Eventually the clinic got a restraining order and he seemed to fall out of the public limelight.
That is until he got elected as a Catholic School Board Trustee. When I saw his name on election day, I wondered how long it would take until he made a commotion. Did that pretty quick when he suggested that: If a girl would to consider an abortion after 12 years of education in the Catholic system, the system has failed her. Then I understand he got involved directly with some disciplinary action for a student which has lead to the current debacle.
What's clear is that O'Malley doesn't give a damn about the kids, but instead sees his trusteeship to advance his own personal agenda. The Board is spending a lot of it's time that could otherwise have been spent on other issues, and now legal fees to deal with this zealot. I would love to see what people of his Ward think now, and if they could recall him.
It's people like this that tarnish religion for a lot of people. I know a lot of Catholics that hate this guy for the negative light that gets cast on them because of him.
