In his seven years teaching at a high school in North York, Kevin Doe has taken pride in making his classroom a sanctuary for students in ways they might not feel comfortable expressing elsewhere. He is open with his students about his experience as an openly gay educator through his work in the district’s Gay-Straight Alliance network.
He offers the kind of representation he wished existed when he was in high school two decades earlier.
Inclusive education practices by Doe and other Canadian educators have drawn criticism and harassment from anti-2SLGBTQ+ rights protests outside Toronto area high schools and across the country. Although these protests have been met with overwhelming numbers of counterprotesters, some educators say it has sparked fear and distress in their classrooms.
Overwhelming numbers of counter-protesters? I have seen this alleged “fact” propagated elsewhere yet no proof is ever offered. Video from Twitter, from both sides, clearly indicated parents carried the day. Typically overwrought Star piece lying to favour of the Groomers.

… The protest was met by a counter-protest in Ottawa and at other sites across Canada. These groups were significantly smaller in number, and were at least in part the result of a now infamous video conference call on Sept. 15 that brought a variety of Ontario union leaders together on company time to work for the LGBTQ forces.
The counter-protesters accused the parents of being hateful and labelled them as fascists, as if caring about what your child is taught in the classroom can ever be described as hatred. And apparently not knowing that it is fascist, Nazi, and communist regimes that insist upon the state—and not parents—rearing and educating children.

Parents, it is up to you to put an end to this in your child’s classroom. The worst they can do is call you names.
Take it upon yourself to be the change we all need to see in this world.
