“大规模反击”:安大略省公立学校系统选出了 21 名“不醒”的受托人

(纳闻记者李文瑞报导)

Twenty-one ‘non-woke’ trustees were elected to public school boards across Ontario during the province’s municipal elections on Oct. 24, says the founder of the website “VoteAgainstWoke.ca.”

“一场运动已经开始,”这位匿名创始人在给的一封电子邮件中说,他化名为“马特”以保护自己的身份。

“这是在加拿大,我们第一次看到针对觉醒的大规模抵制。”

马特于 9 月下旬启动了 VoteAgainstWoke,以帮助选民了解哪些受托人候选人主张在学校进行父母选择,并反对扩大性别理论和批判种族理论等课程项目。

二十四名天主教学校董事会受托人也被选举出来。

Teresa Pierre, founder and president of the Ontario advocacy group Parents As First Educators (PAFE), said the number of elected trustees that PAFE endorsed was even higher than those endorsed by VoteAgainstWoke.

“我们对所看到的结果非常满意,”皮埃尔在接受采访时表示。 “在此之前,有些董事会中没有支持父母权利的候选人,现在有了。”

‘引爆点’

PAFE 没有公布其支持的候选人名单,但皮埃尔表示,与上次市政选举相比,他们看到今年的结果有显着差异。

她说:“关于父母对他们在学校发现的觉醒意识形态和性别意识形态感到沮丧,董事会的事情刚刚达到一个临界点。”

皮埃尔说:“荷顿老师的案子也可能是这次选举周期的动力,”他指的是荷顿区学校董事会 (HDSB) 的高中教师,他在 9 月因佩戴大型假肢被录像而成为国际头条新闻在课堂上有突出的乳头的乳房。

Margo Shuttleworth, who was re-elected chair of the HDSB this week, previously said the school board supported the teacher’s actions “as prescribed by the Ontario Charter of Human Rights.”

Newly-elected HDSB trustee Xin Yi Zhang addressed the teacher’s actions in an email to The Epoch Times, saying the school board should implement “a dress code for teachers.”

“学生是学校的客户,”张写道。 “决定应该由在学校有孩子的父母做出。”

老师工作的奥克维尔特拉法加高中 2021-2022 年学生着装规定规定,学生不能穿“暴露或使生殖器和乳头可见”的衣服。 着装规范并未指定教职员工的着装规定。

“这个问题应该由现任董事会成员解决,”张说。

Within the Halton District, three candidates endorsed by VoteAgainstWoke, including Zhang, were elected to the trustee board. 沙特尔沃思保留了她的座位。

滑铁卢委员会

Three Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) trustee candidates endorsed by VoteAgainstWoke were also elected or re-elected on Oct. 24.

WRDSB trustee Mike Ramsay, who is currently involved in a lawsuit against the board’s chair Scott Piatkowski, was re-elected. 在指控他违反受托人行为准则后,拉姆齐被暂停参加 6 月至 9 月的董事会会议。

Ramsay released documents in a Twitter post on Oct. 2 that he said showed his suspension was related to his public criticism of the board and Piatkowski, who was also re-elected this week.

拉姆齐曾在社交媒体上批评皮亚特科夫斯基,此前 WRDSB 的一名教师因对该地区学校图书馆某些书籍中的性内容是否适合年龄表示担忧而被学校董事会会议开除。

Carolyn Burjoski 老师在 1 月 17 日的演讲中被 Piatkowski 打断,他说他担心她的言论违反了安大略省人权法。

在 1 月 24 日的下一次董事会会议上,受托人 Mike Ramsay 呼吁 Piatkowski 为他对 Burjoski 的行为道歉,但董事长拒绝了。 几个月后,董事会投票决定暂停拉姆齐的职务。

Bill Cody, a newly-elected WRDSB trustee, said he believes the board has become “disconnected from the parents.”

“我们不能忽视功能失调的董事会中累积的问题如何影响我们的孩子,”科迪在给时报的信中写道。

“我们需要重建一个健康、透明的教育体系,让教育者教书、家长和学生茁壮成长。”

科迪说,学校需要结束所有“不适合年龄的课程和政策,以及他们的政治化和分裂性反应”。

“不同的意见可以加强决策,并可以扩大可能性,”他说。 “如果尊重地完成,意见应该能够被分享,而不必担心受到影响、恐吓或被贴上标签。”

“当政治议程将我们的学校变成战场时,受害的是我们的孩子。”
