I just finished reading an editorial about the looming COVID-19 pandemic in the Globe and Mail. The author argues that our response to the challenges posed by this threat should be based on science and reason;
If the COVID-19 outbreaks bloom into a pandemic, this will be even more critical. Countries that put reason and science at the forefront of their responses will be the ones that come out the best at the other end.
That’s not us! Sadly our society has long departed from science and reason. Our children are taught that boys can be girls and girls can be boys and there’s no such thing as a fixed male and female – gender is fluid. They are taught this by a cadre of ideologues at all levels in our public school system who have abandoned science and reason. All in the name of social justice and political correctness.
The people that will be at the forefront of handling the COVID-19 pandemic aren’t any more (or any less) smarter than the teachers we put in front of our children. And this includes our political leaders. Consider our Prime Minister, who was once a teacher.
We are in trouble!

Hi Tony, I totally agree with what you have to say. It surprises me that the Federal Minister of Health and the Ontario Minister of Health, do not have to have any type of medical education to be in those positions. I guess being a woman is good enough.
I started homeschooling my children this past summer (2019) as I couldn’t trust what they were being taught with the whole LGBTQP agenda. My husband finally agreed that our kids needed to be homeschooled because the Near North School Board decided to do a pilot project with the Ontario government (This is Me Survey) asking our children about their gender, sexual orientation, and other personal questions (Spring 2019). It would be interesting to find out how much money the school board was paid to do this survey.
People need to start looking at the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario website (etfo.ca) and look under the heading “building a just society,” what the union is promoting. The union also provides lesson plans for the teachers.

Thanks for speaking up Kim – I’m a retired public school principal and teacher – I couldn’t agree with you more – especially about the teachers union activism – Teachers Unions have incorporated social justice issues into their agenda of ‘working conditions’ so they can legitimize and leverage their collective bargaining in a time when their benefits and pay are very very good. The unions like to look like they’re fighting for the public good even though they serve their own good first and foremost. Its a great public relations gambit.
In Ontario, public schools are closed union shops. In elementary school the Elementary Teacher’s Federation of Ontario (ETFO) is the predominant group from which the teachers of your children can be hired and from which administrators of elementary schools are recruited. Teachers and administrators carry ideology into their roles in the schools and when recruited – into the school board office. There is a trickle up effect over time that changes the character of the school board as union ideologues are inducted into administrative positions. https://scrapbookwithtony.wordpress.com/2019/08/12/how-did-gender-ideology-become-embedded-in-our-public-schools/

Thanks for your efforts. Tony Kiar you are one of an honourable few. Good to hear about the Buffones case at HRT.!
Who makes the policy in the first place. Who do I petition to stop this bull**** from confusing and harming innocent children at the school board level?
The drag shows that I see they do in the Public Libraries. Do they do that in the schools too? What’s the world coming too?
Surely there are a number of teachers disturbed by these policies? Are they afraid to speak up in fear of loosing their job?
Thanks again for your efforts

Hi Neil
Thanks for your support. Contact the local trustee for you school board area and let him know. Also you can talk to your MPP. You are paying taxes to support this in the schools. There are teachers that don’t agree but they are afraid to speak outl. This power point will be helpful please share with all your concerned friends – https://scrapbookwithtony.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/gender-ideology-invasion-nov-2019-pembroke-external-links-version.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3i6PoNfJW8OsAmYehyRlp2X8f5x6_M_iz6niGHIzqqu2FyKBvVcN2uJCg
