TORONTO - This Toronto dad is just not ready to explain to his first-grade son about transgender people, prostitutes, AIDS or female genital mutilation.
So one can imagine his shock when he found these issues listed as special days of recognition in his son’s Toronto District School Board 2011-12 daily planner.
“I was looking through this thing and was shocked by the kind of days they are marking as ‘days of significance,’” he said.
The first one that jumped out at him, under a headline that said “equitable and inclusive,” was Nov. 19’s Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Then came Dec. 1’s World AIDS Day, followed by Dec. 17’s International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. There was also Feb. 7’s International Day of Zero-Tolerance on Female Genital Cutting/Mutilation and Feb. 12’s International Sexual and Reproductive Health Day.
“It’s just bizarre,” said the outraged dad. “He’s six. I want him to enjoy being six.”
What are those things doing in a young child’s school planner? This boy’s parents may have to tackle these issues far earlier than they planned.
Hoping his son didn’t notice, the dad said he pulled the pages from the book. “The school only goes to the fifth grade so they are not going to be able to say it was in there for the older kids either,” said the dad. “I just don’t get it because the kids in first grade can read.”

I’d have to try and figure out how to homeschool them.
These are just the weirdo schools in areas of the Country full of progressive idiots. There are many fine public, and private schools across the Country, especially when you get out of the degraded cities.
looking at many public schools I’;m surprised they have a calender .
This indoctrination is done by the left away from parents. They saw the NAZIS doing the same and understand the children are our tomorrow.
This is why parents need to educate their children about what is right and left.
They need to get going to the schools and watch these teachers.
Most teachers I know should not be working as a teacher because of their lazy couldn’t careless always moaning about do child left behind and not enough wages.
There is no excuse for any parent to say one of their kids is a liberal unless they’re lazy parents who did not sit down with their kids every night and talk to them
I love kids.
However, we live in such a world now that, if one hopes to raise kids and not have them turn out to be degenerate, you almost have isolate yourself in the Ozarks these days to have a real chance.
Not to worry, sir: the school will explain all it to him for you.
That is, “explain it all,” or “explain all of it,” as one prefers.
WOW just WOW
And the pro homo, pro cross dressing media will nto talk about this, infact not even the phony Hannity and many talk radio hosts will talk about these issues.
Megyn Kelly from FOX and her ilk are happy I’m sure about these laws.
Well now imagine if we had a free and fair media which does inform their viewers and we had talk radio talking about this.
The homo cross dressing agenda would not even got off the ground and it is high time for ALL to speak up when these issues come up not shy away and shut up.
This is just so much BS. Get a large group of like-minded parents together, go down to the school and tell them you don’t want your children exposed to any of this nonsense. Give them a reasonable amount of time to reconsider. At the end of that period, tell them that the majority of you are making plans to either homeschool, starting a cottage school, or starting a private school. Form a committee of parents to look into how to start a private school so the public school administration knows you’re dead serious. Meet in a public place, such as a library, and let the press know when and why you are meeting. Give the school the rest of the semester to reconsider but make sure your plans are well underway.
If the public school thinks that you are bluffing, which they probably won’t at this point, make plans for the exodus.
Private schools are founded by parents and like-minded teachers all the time.
Not so. The Bible doesn’t give us such a pessimistic worldview. Genesis 9:7 is as true today as it ever has been
You can’t say we can’t bring up good kids so therefore we must die off - so long, and thanks for all the fish
Are you married/trying to be?
If being married was part of God’s plan for me, it likely would have happened by now.
I can accept it.
If your username means you were 30 when you joined, then you’re 31 now?
My personal favorite is “International Day of Zero-Tolerance on Female Genitalia Cutting/Mutilation”, every six-year-old needs to know about that one./s
About 15 years ago, sure. :)
That’s when I first got access to the internet.
I make an exception for you, manc!
But most schools are infinitely worse than yours.
:-(
Not just east of Bakersfield, Ridgecrest is seperated from that city by the beginning of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. It is a high desert town of some 20,000 or so and is host to the China Lake Naval Air Station.
I got married to a fine man when I was 42. You never know!
One never knows, but I don’t see the advantahe for myself.
I visited Toronto recently and was surprised at how filthy it is. Also, many side streets that looked third world-like with hawkers standing on the sidewalks leering as you walked by.
Not as sick as the left coast/canadian version of Berkeley where I;m originally from: Vancouver BC. canada is a godless country, regardless of the economic wow news you hear....
Get the student a student Franklin planner and throw that one in the shredder or fire.
