Teachers in an Ontario school board have been advised to stop using pronouns in report cards like “he” and “she” to avoid the possibility of misgendering a student.
Former teacher and school board trustee candidate Chanel Pfahl exposed the revelation on Monday.
“When writing comments, please address the student as ‘you’,” a memo reads, as passed on to Pfahl by an anonymous teacher.
“This change in practice avoids any mix ups with legal vs preferred names and the pronouns in the comment area on report cards.”
The Counter Signal spoke with another teacher who said such memos are common.
“We get them all the time… The memo basically says every year, be safe and don’t use pronouns,” the teacher said.
Pfahl’s school board suspended her in March 2021 for expressing online opinions challenging Critical Race Theory (CRT).
Since then, she’s exposed the degree to which woke ideology has infected school boards.
In February, Pfahl revealed that a Canadian school board will offer a gym credit specifically for LGBT students next year.
A parent attending a Durham District School Board (DDSB) information session sent a PowerPoint slide to Pfahl.
“DDSB information night tonight. Grade 9 students next year get to choose between these Phys Ed classes,” Pfahl tweeted with the photo that showed students could get their gym credit between one of three classes.
- “PPL101 – classroom community inclusive of all student identities including female, gender-neutral, non-binary and transgender”
- “PPL103 – classroom community of students who identify as male”
- “PPL104 – classroom community of students who identify as female”
In February, an elected school board trustee was banned from attending all future board meetings merely because she questioned the board’s policy that permits hiding a child’s “gender transition” from their parents.
The trustee’s comments were labeled “racist” and “transphobic.”
