Action4Canada - PART 1： Trailer School Board Chair： Dictatorship or Democracy？

In this episode, the Board of Trustees votes on a motion regarding sexual education in public schools. The motion was brought forward by a grandmother who has 10 grandchildren in the district and wants to know if there is a line that the district will not cross when it comes to sexual education.

00:00:00.000 Thank you so I just want to note that the books that I mentioned and many of the other

00:00:21.880 books I searched them on the FER and the ERAC site and they are not approved resources there they're

00:00:30.120 not every search I did came up this there this book was not found so those books that are

00:00:36.720 controversial are not preferred books by this group either but I want right now I want to ask

00:00:42.900 the question so is there a line that we won't cross do we have a line there's no mention

00:00:52.740 there's no mention of the criminal code of Canada which we have heard from parents who got up to the

00:01:00.540 I'm just going to interrupt you there there's no material in our class point of privilege chair

00:01:06.180 would you let me finish my not because I'm going to interrupt you and tell you that there is no

00:01:10.200 there's no there are no materials in our schools that break the criminal code and that are illegal

00:01:17.760 point of privilege you're calling quite a privilege I'm the chair I'm denying your privilege well if

00:01:22.600 you would like to let me continue I would appreciate that actually so are you going to stop saying that

00:01:28.300 there's stuff that so I'm going to read the criminal code to you and then you can just I've cut your mic

00:01:32.780 so um does anybody else wish to speak to this motion so you're not going to let me read no I'm not

00:01:40.200 Riapi Estado Kassiajia hi I'm a grandmother that has 10 grandchildren in the school district I have

00:01:50.580 two things that are on my mind so I'll just go ahead and jump right in one of them is a safety policy I

00:01:57.720 don't know if there is such a thing for overnight trips my first concern is regarding an overnight

00:02:03.060 field trip coming up in which there are students that identify as the opposite sex attendee just to

00:02:07.740 interrupt that's not on the agenda we're speaking about items that are on the

00:02:10.800 agenda what about for violence and bullying in the schools is that

00:02:15.420 something I can speak on on this agenda okay so basically anything I wanted to

00:02:21.960 say today is not going to when can I can't you know the trustees at any point I

00:02:27.540 have emailed you and you responded but I didn't get the answers that I was hoping

00:02:33.020 for I can hear you but it's not getting broadcast because you're saying stuff

00:02:44.480 that's potentially discriminatory so I'm not gonna let you speak anymore you can

00:02:47.720 please take a seat those items are not on the agenda thank you I have a question

00:02:51.320 through the chair to the superintendent if I may and I would like to read first

00:03:00.440 of all well my question is gonna be this is a superintendent aware of their

00:03:03.020 sexually explicit books in school district 33 do you know their content in

00:03:08.360 is school district 33 within their legal right to provide these materials okay

00:03:13.820 and my question is to the superintendent what legal stance has the superintendent

00:03:20.900 taken in regards to the criminal code let me just briefly read there are strict

00:03:25.500 definitions times it wasn't considered child pornography court so I've I'm

00:03:29.900 turning off your mic dr. Ferguson yeah we're not doing this there's no

00:03:34.940 illegal material in our schools that's highly defamatory no I'm not gonna let

00:03:38.780 you sorry to add a question and I didn't ask you specifically for a reason

00:03:44.660 because I knew your answer so asking the super does the district is not sharing

00:03:49.340 this meeting this is the meeting of the board and I pulled you to sit down thank

00:03:52.040 you people can either obey the rules of order of this meeting or you'll be asked to

00:03:59.280 leave none of what you're saying is on the public record because I've turned off

00:04:05.520 your mic just so you know have a seat dr. Ferguson I just wanted to make a

00:04:13.260 statement what you were just saying about not doing criminal record checks on drag

00:04:17.840 queens that's not on the agenda thank you this is not on the agenda drag queens are 1.00

00:04:23.160 not on the agenda not on the agenda so like you have a question about something

00:04:26.880 on the agenda this has put out some very compelling information about the sexual

00:04:33.160 abuse of children which I think should be all of our concern at any time directly

00:04:37.500 related to this and it's becoming very well known so you as a board have to

00:04:43.620 protect our children and consider you know something is moving forward such as

00:04:48.120 the learning resource so G123 was presented in 2016 12 pilot schools in

00:04:54.060 2017 they put it into all schools no parents were involved in this decision or

00:04:59.460 psychologists to determine the long-term effects now what we're finding is not on

00:05:04.200 the agenda either it's a learning resource that's not anything to do with our

00:05:07.980 learning resources policy though it isn't anything to do with our learning

00:05:11.040 resources policy

00:05:12.120 you're not on the mic I've told you thank you so you can go sit down now thank

00:05:17.880 you
