A group of concerned parents in Ottawa expressed their dissatisfaction with a protest aimed at the Ottawa school board, raising objections to the inclusion of sexual and gender identity education into the public school system..In a Twitter video, young Muslim children were stomping on Pride flags, while a Muslim woman told the media that the school board should “leave our kids alone” and said “good, good, good” to the children..On May 31, the Ottawa school board emailed all staff members and outlined a new policy that will take effect in September. The policy states that in all classrooms, including kindergarten, the use of "they/them" pronouns will be exclusively used when referring to students..The email also said that LGBTQ identities are to be “embedded” in the “overall learning environment, from Kindergarten to Grade 12” and it is not “open to debate or selective participation.” .This means parents will not have the option to remove their children from the classroom during lessons that involve pro-sexual minority teachings..The Ontario Ministry of Education had opt-out options for sex education for decades. But the school board email said sexual minority teachings are to be used throughout the curriculum. .There were pro-sexual minorities protesters separated by police, who want the schools to teach radical sexual and gender ideology. .One man drove by the protest yelling “F*ck Nazis” referring to the protesters who want schools to be teaching reading, writing, and math, not woke ideologies..This protest follows a boycott of June 1st by parents across the country as it was the start of the Pride month celebrations in schools.
