The principal at a Catholic school near Tunney's Pasture is now allowing two Grade 6 girls to present a social justice fair project on gay rights.

The girls, their parents and the principal at St. George School met Monday afternoon to discuss the project, which had been turned down by the school in November.

"The girls will be doing a project on how the topic of gay rights is addressed by a Catholic high school’s equity club," the Ottawa Catholic School Board wrote in an emailed statement.

"The girls will be welcome to present their project at the social justice fair."
