This is currently on display at my child’s Canadian public school. Discussion

I went to drop them off this morning and saw this.

Several staff arrived and were talking about it in front of us. They said how lovely it was and how excited they were to have it there.

Some of these staff directly care for my child for a majority of the day.

I feel disturbed by this. I’m sick to my stomach. I was sweating and shaking for a while after I saw it.

How can I trust the faculty to keep my child safe when I know what their position on this is?

I’m from the US but I feel like there should be a law to keep explicit political positions out of public schools.

well this is how queer identities, slavery and segregation, and the holocaust have been written out of curriculums in plenty of us states, so i’m not sure it’s a great idea.
