The best interests of ALL of our students - that’s the only criteria that matters.

This is not about documents, it’s about ensuring human rights and healthy, safe lives for our students.

We must reject in every way possible any attempt - by any government - to harm our students.

Our children should be educated for the future, not for a world we should be leaving far behind us. Education is not an “efficiency.”

Curriculum needs to be based on evidence of what students need to be healthy and to thrive. Keep narrow ideology and prejudice out of the process.

I am concerned about the proposed changes the provincial government is making and I support the petition.

The goal of any good lesson plan is not to have the students remain ignorant.

#SmartSexEd #CCLA Repeal is unconstitutional.

I am outraged by the choice of our current government to try and regress education in this province back 20 years to a time when I hadn't heard of Residential schools or same sex relationships or when social media didn't exist and the boys in our school would openly rate the girls 1-10 as they walked down the halls. Times have changed and we need to give students the tools to be successful in today's society in all aspects of their lives and that includes a well rounded knowledge based education.

Because the “Ethical Standards for the Teaching Profession” as outlined by the Ontario College of Teachers (https://www.oct.ca/-/media/PDF/Standards%20Poster/standards_flyer_e.pdf) says it’s our responsibility.

We need all voices to stand up to this short sighted, right winged social conservative anarchy. We cannot and will not be pushed back 20 years.

We will continue to do our professional duty and instruct our students about their human rights, their safety, their freedoms, their bodies etc. It is a pedagogically unsound to ask us to do anything else.
