dc.description.abstractEthical veganism has recently been recognized by the Ontario Human Rights Commission as a type of creed, ensuring that ethical vegans in Ontario may not be discriminated against in the workplace, in schools, or in medical facilities. This presentation will explore the wide realm of discrimination and bullying faced by ethical vegans in the United States, Canada, and other countries and will delve into the case law involving issues such as a student's right not to engage in dissection of a frog for biology class; a veterinary student's right to refuse to take part in vivisection; and a hospital employee's right to opt out of an egg-containing vaccination. After a discussion of statutory and case law involving the rights of ethical vegans, the focus will be placed on the legal rights of students and faculty who identify as ethical vegans in secondary and higher education. Suggestions will be provided on how to celebrate diversity and inclusivity for ethical vegans in higher education on campus and in online environments.en_US
