It’s so great to have a big supportive family!
I was honoured to fight for children’s rights to a childhood free of adult content and life-altering decisions.
Let’s hope common sense wins over the radical ideology so prevalent in schools.

Kudos Carolyn, glad you stuck with your convictions. Such an injustice was perpetrated on you. I wish more board members had stood up for what is correct and right for the students of the WRDSB. I am glad the Board is exposed. Another cousin, Jean

Homeschooling is definitely on the rise. I agree with you that ithe sacrifice that is worth it. I wonder if the end result of this crisis in education will be for parents to retake their role as the primary educators in new and creative ways.

I’m very glad that you were successful in your lawsuit. It’s discouraging seeing how these teachers, doctors and activists can’t see the harm that they are causing to these children (and as we’ve witnessed harm to others through/because of them).

I also thank you for speaking truth about how you can’t fix the system from within. I home schooled my three kids. I started home schooling my oldest daughter in 1997 starting in grade four. In those days, I was just starting to see them introduce different kinds of family – that was enough for me (also there were bullying issues going on). I honestly didn’t see these gender identity issues coming back then. I went on to home school my youngest who are now 22 and almost 19 (she is still finishing up grade 12). It was because I wanted my children to be critical thinkers and I didn’t see that happening in the school system plus we wanted to pass on our values. We sacrificed a lot to do this but I have no regrets.

We need more teachers (and others) to stand up for our children even at the great cost that you paid. It is much appreciated.

I do not know the answers to these questions in detail. I just asked AI but I’m not sure how it is applied in this particular circumstance. You could get some general answers with a search regarding Ontario school boards.

You rightly point out that gender ideology is a mystical quasi-religious belief. No child is born in the wrong body.

Thanks Paul,
I appreciate your encouragement and financial support. Like you, numerous good people have written articulate letters, delegations and articles, yet little has changed. These ideas have captured our institutions. Individuals promoting these falsehoods need to be freed from this destructive philosophy, which can only happen through calm conversations. I agree that using our real names instead of pseudonyms is the way forward, because it makes face to face conversations possible. But we do risk being mobbed and cancelled when we speak up so that’s why a network of support is essential. We have been building that together.
