Sheila Gunn-Reed visits the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board to deliver a petition to its trustee, and things don t go as planned. She talks to Heather Schnellman, a reporter with CTV's The Rebel News, about what it's like to be a member of the school board.
00:01:14.000That's a video of my visit to the Ottawa Carleton District School Board.
00:01:19.000You see, I went there to give 8,000 signatures to a school board trustee named Nillie Kaplan-Murth.
00:01:26.000Nillie Kaplan-Murth first came to national prominence when she was a COVID hysteric doctor who did media hits from her office alone, remotely wearing a mask for safety, you see.
00:01:45.500But as COVID waned, so did her control over other people's lives.
00:01:51.000So, she got elected to the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, where she's been pushing gender ideology, and the parents don't like it.
00:01:58.500So, when the parents started turning up at the school board meetings to hold their elected politicians to account, she silenced them and censored them in person.
00:02:07.000So, the parents started a Change.org petition, and she had Change.org pull it down, complaining that it was bullying, and so they started a second one, and she had them pull it down again, citing bullying and anti-Semitic blah-ba-dee-blah-blah, nonsense, transgender, transphobia, all the phobias that weren't true.
00:02:26.380So, it was just parents who wanted to hold their elected politicians to account and have a say in what happens to their children seven hours a day for 200 days of the year, which seems like a reasonable request.
00:02:42.140So, anyway, to combat the censorship of these parents, I started my own petition at FireNillie.com so that they would have a petition that was uncancellable, and I made the promise that I would deliver it myself.
00:02:54.720And, as you can see, I tried to deliver it, and Nillie Kaplan-Mirth flipped her lid, ripped a door from my hand, and called six security guards on me.
00:03:09.360I had a difficult time filming that video because I had the giggles, because I couldn't believe how crazy this woman was about, you know, 70 or 80 pages of paper and 8,000 signatures.
00:03:23.620It was about somebody having an opposing worldview in the same vicinity of her, and she couldn't handle it.
00:03:31.760And I just don't think somebody like Nillie Kaplan-Mirth is emotionally resilient enough to be making decisions for other people's children.
00:03:39.920And I think the people around her should probably intervene if they actually care about her, because she, I don't think she's, well, I really don't.
00:03:51.140And I probably should stop laughing at her, except for the sinister fact that she makes decisions for other people's children.
00:03:57.660And she's a pro-censorship, unaccountability politician.
00:04:03.620But I'm new to covering the school board protests.
00:04:08.080Unlike my friend David Menzies, who's been on this beat for over a year.
00:04:12.740And it started with Kayla Lemieux, the teacher with the prosthetic fetish boobs, teaching the shop class.
00:04:19.260Since then, school board maniacs and school board chaos has been David Menzies' ongoing beat.
00:04:30.520It seems to me almost every day he texts me and says,
00:04:32.900Sheila, I'm going to a crazy school board meeting.
00:06:04.580They come and go like a karma chameleon.
00:06:07.860We've caught them with the boobs on, with the boobs off.
00:06:11.440It's funny that I don't know any biological woman whose breasts can, I don't know, recede like a turtle going into its shell and then pop out again.
00:06:21.020I imagine that would make things kind of easy for her femdin.
00:06:29.500He has the blessing of the school board.
00:06:33.740They won't touch this with a 10-foot pole, even if he's standing 11 feet away, because they don't want to be seen as transphobic, even though, very important caveat here, not even the trans community is coming to this guy's defense.
00:06:48.700They know this is phony baloney, this is something more, either a prank or a perversion.
00:06:54.920I side with perversion for many reasons that I won't get into here.
00:06:58.740We saw when Lincoln Jay and I got physically assaulted at a teacher's union meeting that his colleagues, they're completely down with dressing inappropriately in front of parents.
00:07:12.180And worst of all, the milquetoast minister of education, Stephen Leachie, he's basically right now, Sheila, with all of these school boards, I'm talking Halton, Waterloo, Toronto, Ottawa, I'm sure I've forgotten some.
00:07:32.720And he's basically like a professional wrestling referee, where it's, listen, Sheila, I've warned you nine times not to use that foreign object.
00:07:42.080And if you keep using it, I'm going to warn you a 10th time not to use it.
00:08:35.560So, Mr. Lecce, where in blue hell are you?
00:08:39.540You know, that's a really great point that you bring up about just the absolute failures of the politicians here.
00:08:46.120So, and how quickly these school boards have become infested with, as you said, I wrote it down, far-left woke Marxists.
00:08:55.380You can get on the school board and affect the future generation of humanity with a couple of dozen votes.
00:09:03.360That's all you need to win an election and shape and frame the culture of tomorrow.
00:09:10.100It's quite frightening that conservatives, small-c conservatives, are asleep at the switch here.
00:09:14.780But it's the big conservatives, the politicians who are really failing, and they're not really reading the room because this is becoming very quickly a single issue for voters.
00:09:28.620And it's amazing to watch nature healing out there.
00:09:32.140For example, at the Ottawa-Carlton District School Board, it is Muslim parents and Christian parents who are uniting and who are protesting this gender ideology.
00:09:43.840And in Ontario, they really should have learned better because it was when the Muslim parents, the Christian parents, and the Chinese parents, and the new Canadians all got together to protest comprehensive sex ed that it was stopped.
00:09:56.260And so Ontario has sort of forgotten its history.
00:14:46.540But as Ralph Klein said, the parade is marching.
00:14:49.980And you just need a politician to jump in front of it and lead it, as did Glenn Youngkin in Virginia.
00:14:55.360When he saw the parents rising up at these school board meetings and they didn't have a voice.
00:15:01.220All it takes is one politician to give these parents a voice and you will be uniting this incredibly diverse group of people who are all opposed to subjecting little kids to this social contagion.
00:15:14.380But there's not a politician brave enough to do it in Ontario.
00:16:21.780And yet, against all odds, Sheila, because I can tell you, in the U.S., shockingly, because law enforcement has been politicized there, just as much as it has here,
00:16:32.200you have Department of Justice and FBI officials referring to parents who are concerned about their children and concerned about the curriculum as domestic terrorists, almost as though they're like the Boston Marathon bombers in training.
00:16:49.100This is grotesque, but despite that blowback, regime change happened in Virginia.
00:16:56.620And I would think, I would hope that would be a template for something to happen in Canadian provinces.
00:17:03.160But at least you could go to right-of-center politicians and say to them, instead of treating this as a third rail issue, put the foot on the accelerator.
00:17:15.720Come out against this despicable indoctrination.
00:17:23.360I do not understand the hesitancy, Sheila, because they have the majority behind them.
00:17:30.840Well, and even if the politicians are scared and they don't want to come out against gender ideology, because they are cowards and they won't, perhaps they could come out in favor of holding politicians to account.
00:18:06.940Because my most precious thing that I have in my life, these lunatics are deciding what happens to my precious thing for seven to eight hours a day.
00:18:18.660And so these provincial politicians and federal politicians who are too cowardly to come out against the ideology of Dylan Mulvaney, maybe they could come out in favor of holding politicians to account.
00:18:32.280That used to be a universal truth in this country.
00:18:34.660But I saw it at the Ottawa Carleton District School Board when I had six security guards called on me for giggling and trying to get some paper.
00:18:46.380You know, there's no accountability anymore.
00:18:50.020These are low-level politicians who won sometimes by a dozen votes.
00:18:55.160You get to listen to parents or get off the school board.
00:18:57.920Sheila, I think it's worse than what you think.
00:19:01.360Most of these educrats, from what I can tell, hate parents.
00:19:04.800At least those parents that say, I have involvement in what's being taught.
00:19:08.940Most educrats don't care about the kids.
00:20:41.480And even, you know, I always used to think, Sheila, the bastion of hope, I'm not Catholic, I know you are, but the bastion of hope would be the Catholic school boards.
00:20:52.080And, of course, the Catholic school boards, that is a guaranteed right here in Ontario precedes confederation.
00:21:00.260And yet, look at what's happening there.
00:21:02.560Even there, the Marxist leftists are infiltrating Catholic school boards.
00:21:07.580Waterloo Catholic district school board, for example, you had a teacher, Wendy Ashby, who said the most dangerous creature on the planet is the white male Christian.
00:21:17.540And the whole school board, with two dissenting voices at first, said, nothing to see here, folks, but parents erupted.
00:21:26.000We went there, and just for me and Lincoln Jay having the temerity to ask insensitive questions, we are now banned for two years.
00:21:36.440We'll be challenging that outrageous ban, by the way, folks.
00:21:39.880But unless Wendy Ashby voluntarily resigned, she would still be there.
00:21:47.020And also, the York Catholic district school board, I want to give them a tip of the hat, because earlier this month, they finally voted, and it was a squeaker, six to four, that they would not be raising the pride flag.
00:22:03.100And the hysteria from the Rainbow Mafia, the hysteria from the mainstream media about this, and think about that.
00:22:11.460Why do you need to raise this piece of fabric?
00:22:14.660Oh, it's to make a school a safe space.
00:22:16.460Well, Sheila, if you're a member of the LGBT community, a student, and you're being bullied or harassed, that is despicable, and it should be dealt with, and principals should actually stand up to that saying they have in schools, zero tolerance for bullying.
00:22:30.480But I don't know how in blue hell, raising a multicolored piece of fabric makes a hostile school environment a safe one.
00:22:41.720And now, as I predicted, look what's happening.
00:22:45.100The mainstream media, the various lobby groups for the Rainbow Mafia, politicians are now playing, well, if that's the way the York Catholic district school board is going to roll, we're going to go to the Human Rights Commission.
00:23:01.380And this non-elected, unaccountable body, Sheila, we'll get them to order them to put up the flag, and the hammer will be, and this will be another lawsuit in the making, you do it or we are removing your public funding.
00:23:18.780There is absolutely no tolerance for wrong think.
00:23:24.760And we just saw that play out last week in Toronto.
00:23:27.820Anthony Bass, the Blue Jays pitcher, for having the temerity to like posts that approved of the Target and the Bud Light boycott.
00:23:37.300Well, the organization, because Rogers, which owns it, is hopelessly woke, it flipped out, and they made him do a public apology.
00:23:48.520And then they made him meet with a member of Pride Toronto to be schooled.
00:23:53.300And then on Friday, they were going to have a pitcher become a catcher to catch out, to catch a ceremonial first pitch from a trans person or something.
00:24:03.720But at the 11th hour, they said, nah, even though we've humiliated him and made him, you know, repudiate what he originally supported, Sheila, we're going to fire, we're going to get rid of him.
00:24:16.780Even though he's a player with a multi-million dollar contract, goodbye.
00:25:43.060I mean, and this guy who's with the Toronto District Catholic School Board, he came up to the York Region Catholic School Board to advocate for the pride flags going up.
00:25:52.100So he's trying to pollinate his perverse view of Catholic doctrine to other school boards.
00:26:03.280No, I have heard because of parental outrage, he has either been reassigned or the Toronto Catholic Board is doing what the Halton District Catholic, sorry, the Halton District School Board is doing with Busty Lemieux.
00:26:16.180They're paying him to stay at home, full salary and benefits.
00:26:23.740I can't say, I mean, to get that cancer out of the Catholic school system, to have that rainbow flag in his classroom come down and the cross be put back up, I think I can accept that.
00:26:37.740There's a reason they get involved in the Catholic School Board, and it's not because they're Catholic.
00:26:41.680It's because they need to pull that institution down, because that is an institution that is led by Catholic values, and Catholic values say you are to be beholden to God above the state.
00:26:53.320And then, you know, so if you need people to adopt the state as their religion, you have to destroy their religion.
00:27:00.020And I guess the most insidious way to do it is from the inside.
00:27:03.960And these people, they are left with quite a predicament, right?
00:27:08.640The reason they come after other people's kids is because they've either had abortions because they fear climate change, or they've self-sterilized with chemicals and cross-sex hormones.
00:27:21.700So their ideology cannot proliferate the way mine can.
00:27:26.260I'm raising good Catholic conservative kids over here, three of them.
00:27:32.360So what they need to do is infect mine with their bad ideas, and that's why they infest the school system the way they do.
00:27:40.260Yeah, and I can tell you, Sheila, the York Catholic District School Board, those trustees that voted against the raising of the pride flag and the superintendent, and I give them full credit,
00:27:51.100they made the very profound point, I think, that our Catholic schools have two symbols that are inclusive of everyone.
00:27:59.000It is the Canadian flag, and it is the cross.
00:29:38.540And Cosmin Georgia over at True North.
00:29:40.840He has been watching school board meetings for years.
00:29:43.560But I think it's important to do these reports in the form of video, because some of the madness that happens at these school board meetings and at these school board protests,
00:29:56.020you have to see it to believe it, because it is just so insane.
00:30:05.440And again, I referenced earlier this month the York Catholic District School Board meeting to make the final decision on the pride flag.
00:30:12.740And this is another tactic, by the way.
00:30:16.080More than an hour before the doors opened, so two hours before the meeting itself, the rainbow spirit unicorns were lining up en masse to hopefully pack every seat so that normal parents couldn't get into the school board.
00:30:33.240And I was interviewing that Mr. De Bono, who is – is it the Gregorian monks that take a vow of silence?
00:30:41.040I just want to make sure I've got the right monks.
00:30:46.600And then this lady, and she's clearly female, and also another telltale sign, you know, they're on the wrong side, we're on the right side.
00:30:58.240These people, for some reason, are still wearing masks.
00:31:00.940I think that's a political statement in 2023, Sheila.
00:31:04.680It's, we believe in big government, we believe in big lockdowns, we believe in being told what to do.
00:31:09.100And she swore at me and basically said, leave him alone.
00:37:21.980This is the portion of the show where I invite your viewer feedback, unlike the mainstream media.
00:37:26.540And I know I say this every single week, so it might be getting redundant for some of you.
00:37:29.900But I actually care about what you think about the work that we're doing here at Rebel News.
00:37:33.000Because without you, there is no Rebel News.
00:37:35.460Because we don't have a sugar daddy named Justin Trudeau reaching into other people's pockets to give us money to create content that absolutely nobody cares about mainstream media.
00:37:46.020Anyway, if you'd like to leave me a comment on the show, my email address is Sheila at rebelnews.com.
00:37:53.960Put gun show letters in the subject line so I know why you're emailing me.
00:37:58.260Because I can get dozens, upwards of 100 emails every single day.
00:38:01.960And so it makes it hard for me to leaf through them unless you put gun show letters in the subject line.
00:38:07.800But also, don't hesitate to leave a comment wherever you're watching us.
00:38:11.780For example, if you're watching the free version of the show with ads in it on Rumble or YouTube, leave a comment there.
00:39:21.180Whether or not you own firearms, the fact that somebody else is being scapegoated for a rising crime that progressives don't want to deal with in Toronto, that's the real issue here.
00:39:31.460However, Canada's firearms-owning community, they're the most law-abiding people in the country.
00:39:35.820They're subject to daily background checks just to own the firearms they've lawfully acquired.
00:39:43.880And they are under attack by the Liberals because the Liberals take the path of least resistance when dealing with, well, the problems they create through their policies in progressive cities.
00:39:55.600Anyway, I will have to write my counselors about guns being property.
00:40:00.540I forget which guest said it, but people really don't see the connection between guns and other things like fossil fuel cars and single-dwelling homes.
00:40:08.900Once the government can tell you what you can and can't own just by virtue of an edict by the government, that opens up a whole host of other issues, doesn't it?
00:40:17.300If they can do it with guns, they can maybe do it with your car.
00:40:20.160Maybe they can do it with the size of your house.
00:40:22.620Maybe you've had a little bit too much meat in your diet this month and you're not going to get the extra social credits to buy the extra roast at the grocery store, you know?
00:40:33.360You can't give the government to do things to you.
00:40:36.120You can't give them that permission because it's hard.
00:40:39.760It's hard to get that back from them, isn't it?
