rabble.caAnti-trans hate also fuelling school privatization sentimentsAttacks against sexual orientation and gender identity curriculum in schools could be used to put forward privatization policies.
While on the surface it may appear reasonable, as some cons are saying, to let public school parents know what their child is being called at school, or what pronouns they are using, the reality is that some parents are abusive and unfathomably transphobic.
So if, by witholding that info, we can at least create a safe space for their kid at school, all that matters if the students are able to exist and learn in a space where they are accepted and appreciated as they are.
2SLGBTQ+ people experience a disproportionate risk of trauma and abuse, so we need to name, recognize, affirm and celebrate identities that have been historically suppressed, erased and marginalized, to ensure all people are included.
Children form key ideas about race, gender, and relationships by age 5, if not earlier, so early exposure to diversity in our communities goes a long way to making life easier for everyone.
I am sick of people saying this somehow sexualizes kids or grooms them for abuse. Nowhere in the curriculum do we ever teach about how to have sex; and shame on those who pretend otherwise for political points.
Another Lecce disaster!

“The Ford government cannot be trusted,” says ETFO president Karen Brown.
