Despite pushback from far-left activist groups, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and the Ontario Ministry of Education are standing firm in allowing parents to opt-out from having their children subjected to drag queen story time events.
Drag queen story time events centre around a man — usually dressed in women’s lingerie or wearing provocative and highly exaggerated makeup — reading books to children. The books indoctrinate children with gender ideology, which is the theory that claims girls can be boys or neither a girl nor a boy — and so long as she thinks it, it’s true.
Neither the Ministry of Education or the TDSB want to take credit for allowing parents to protect their children from getting indoctrinated, presumably to stave off negative press that the far-left activist groups regularly generate.
The Ontario Ministry of Education claims that the TDSB made the decision, but the TDSB points their finger the other way, saying they’re acting on guidance from the Ministry.
“We expect school boards to respect parental decisions when it comes to their children,” said Grace Lee, a spokeswoman for the Ministry. However, Lee also said “this decision was made by TDSB.”
Is Drag Queen Story about sexual development?
Policy 162 from the Ontario Ministry of Education gives parents permission to exempt their children from curriculum that pertains to human development and sexual health.
Activist groups attempting to pressure the TDSB and Ministry to modify the policy and submit to their radical agenda — one that renders the meaning of “woman” to a subjective feeling — claim that the policy promotes “hate.”
The debate has evolved into a semantic issue over whether drag queen story time is about sex and human development, or “2SLGBTQ+ representation.”
Canada’s mainstream news outlets have gone insane
Recently, CBC suggested “trans babies” exist, and CTV expressed support for giving puberty blockers to 11-year-old children who are under the mostly social contagion spell that’s medically referred to as gender dysphoria.
The puberty blockers can have irreversible damage on children, who often realize they were confused only a few years later.
Meanwhile, countries like Norway, Sweden, Finland and the UK have recently revised their health policies related to “gender affirming care” for minors because they no longer consider them to be grounded in science.
