Jean Luc Cagadoc and his mother Maria Theresa speak to Balitang America through Skype.

The Quebec Human Rights Commission recently ordered a private school to pay the Cagadocs $17,000 in moral and punitive damages, stemming from incidents in 2006 when school officials reprimanded Luc for eating with his fork and spoon, the typical Filipino way of eating, which officials described as un-Canadian and pig-like.
