The only solution for Ontario's public ed system (given that Catholic boards will not stop teaching an anti-2SLGBTQI+ curriculum) is to merge Catholic school boards with non-Catholic boards. (Admin: De Buono, Paolo)

Today is #PinkShirtDay The biggest bully in Ontario against 2SLGBTQI+ students are Catholic school boards which, across Ontario, have adopted an anti-2SLGBTQI+ curriculum. And the ones delivering that curriculum (the instruments of that bullying) are OECTA teachers. @catholicteachers.bsky.social

As we recognize the importance of Pink Shirt Day, let’s recommit and double our efforts to create safer and more respectful schools and communities for our youth. 1/3

#PinkShirtDay is a day to highlight the hypocrisy of OECTA. The union encourages its teachers to wear pink shirts today while they simultaneously teach the anti-2SLGBTQI+ curriculum adopted by Ontario’s Catholic school boards, thereby being the instruments of their boards’ anti-2SLGBTQI+ bullying.

Today is #PinkShirtDay The largest anti-2SLGBTQI+ bully in Ontario is Catholic public school boards who’ve adopted a curriculum that teaches, effectively, that it’s a sin to be 2SLGBTQI+. Let’s stop being cruel as a state to 2SLGBTQI+ students. Let’s #EndCatholicSchoolBoards in Ontario.

While OECTA (the ON Catholic Teachers union) will be using #PinkShirtDay to pretend it is a 2SLGBTQI+ ally, let’s acknowledge that it is OECTA teachers across ON, in teaching their Catholic school boards’ anti-2SLGBTQI+ curriculum, who are the instruments of their boards’ anti-2SLGBTQI+ bullying.

Tomorrow is #PinkShirtDay Q: Who’s the biggest anti-2SLGBTQI+ bully in Ontario? A: Ontario’s Catholic public school boards through their anti-2SLGBTQI+ curriculum. Q: How long will we continue to allow Ontario’s public schools to be where students are bullied (by the state!) for who they are? A:

While the Ontario Liberal Party & the Ontario NDP Party fight for 2nd place behind the Ontario PC Party (expected to win a majority this Thursday), neither 1 of these 3 parties has a policy to #EndCatholicSchoolBoards in Ontario. 😢 Only the Green Party of Ontario has shown support for this policy.

This Thursday, February 27, vote for the party that will finally put a stop to Catholic public school boards using Ontario’s public education system to teach & spread anti-2SLGBTQI+ hate (such as teaching that same-sex love/marriage is evil & that trans persons don’t really exist as trans).

Dear Bonnie Crombie & Ontario Liberals: Please have the courage to stand up for 2SLGBTQI+ Ontarians by adopting the policy to #EndCatholicSchoolBoards in Ontario. Catholic school boards across Ontario teach an anti-2SLGBTQI+ curriculum. @bonnieforontario.bsky.social @ontarioliberal.bsky.social

"It’s a victory for every drag performer, every queer organizer, and every member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community who has been slandered, harassed, or attacked for simply existing. The precedent has been set. If you spread lies and hate, you will be held accountable."

I, for one, am not reassured by the fact the German extreme right only got 20 percent. The acceptable number of German far-rightists is zero. The 1930s taught us that.

OECTA teachers are the frontline workers in delivering the anti-2SLGBTQI+ curriculum taught by Catholic public school boards across Ontario. When OECTA talks about fighting for public ed, it includes keeping public ed safe for their teachers to teach that curriculum. @catholicteachers.bsky.social

I know we’re all used to getting our voter card before voting, but this is a snap election and you may not get it in time! You don’t need it. Go vote! #topoli #onpoli

Eliminate Catholic schools.

Dear Bonnie Crombie: You’re right that leadership is about priorities. Please make 2SLGBTQI+ Ontarians a priority by stopping Catholic public school from teaching across Ontario that it’s a sin to be 2SLGBTQI+. @bonnieforontario.bsky.social @ontarioliberal.bsky.social

Eagle’s new 2SLGBTQ+ employment study has been released. Stats are not good in Alberta with 70% of 2SLGBTQ+ individuals reporting experiences of discrimination in the workplace. What stands out to you?

Dear Ontario Provincial Party Leaders: Catholic schools boards (representing 1/3 of Ontario’s public ed system) teach an anti-2SLGBTQI+ curriculum. It’s time to #EndCatholicSchoolBoards in Ontario! @maritstilesndp.bsky.social @mikeschreiner.bsky.social @bonnieforontario.bsky.social

You did really well in the debate, Marit Stiles. Imagine how much better you & your Ontario NDP party would be in leading Ontario if you adopted the policy that it’s time to #EndCatholicSchoolBoards in Ontario. @maritstilesndp.bsky.social @theondy.bsky.social

Some important #OntarioElection deadlines are coming up - including making sure you’re registered to vote. Doug Ford is counting on a short timeline and cold weather to keep us away from the polls. This thread has links and important dates to help make sure he doesn’t get away with it. #OnPoli

The Ontario Government gives billions & billions of dollars annually to Catholic public school boards, who use that money to indoctrinate students to become Catholic. This can’t continue! @maritstilesndp.bsky.social @bonnieforontario.bsky.social @mikeschreiner.bsky.social

Dear Richard Raho: The Catholic Church had a right as a private religion to suppress women wrt leadership. But in Ontario, there are publicly-funded Catholic boards that teach that it’s OK to suppress women wrt leadership. It is not appropriate to use public schools to suppress women.

I’m a big fan of the Professional Women’s Hockey League. On a special day like Valentine’s Day, I’m inspired by some of the love stories among players in that league. My favourite @thepwhl.com love story there is between Marie-Philip Poulin & Laura Stacey. www.rds.ca/hockey/lphf/...

Doug Ford's underfunding of public services is forcing devestating cuts that hurt families, students, and workers across Ontario. Ontario needs a government that is on your side. Let's demand better. #onpoli

Donald Trump is really getting a lot of things done!

Dear Bonnie Crombie & the Ontario Liberal Party: Make it your policy to #EndCatholicSchoolBoards in ON so that they stop spreading anti-2SLGBTQI+ hate through our public ed system through their teaching of an anti-2SLGBTQI+ curriculum. @bonnieforontario.bsky.social @ontarioliberal.bsky.social

Please remember that the Catholic Teachers’ Union (OECTA) is not fighting for public education. It is fighting for a public ed system where its teacher members (through Catholic public school boards) have safe places to teach an anti-2SLGBTQI+ curriculum. It time to #EndCatholicSchoolBoards in ON!

Dear Marit Stiles & Ontario NDP: Please make it your policy to #EndCatholicSchoolBoards in Ontario so that they will stop spreading anti-2SLGBTQI+ hate through Ontario’s public ed system through their teaching of an anti-2SLGBTQI+ curriculum. @maritstilesndp.bsky.social @theondy.bsky.social

Putin wants to bring the world back to the 19th century. Trump is an accelerant. The silence of the international community on all of this is deafening.

In education, the government used accounting techniques to mask significant cuts to classroom resources. The province has effectively reduced per-student funding by $1,500 since the 2018-19 fiscal year. #EduSky 🍎 #WellBeing #Onpoli #Election2025 www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

It’s time It’s good public policy to #EndCatholicSchoolBoards in Ontario! @maritstilesndp.bsky.social @mikeschreiner.bsky.social @bonnieforontario.bsky.social @theondy.bsky.social @ontarioliberal.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/toron...

Let’s be 💯 clear. Trump absolutely wants our water, energy, forests, Arctic, farmland, vast size. We’re an amazing real estate deal to him. What he doesn’t get is that the majority of Canadians are repulsed at idea being the 51st state. Time to stand up for 🇨🇦 & build our great nation! #TeamCanada

Dear Marit Stiles: Before you & your MPP candidates accept election volunteers from OECTA (the Catholic teachers’ union for Ontario), please consider whom you’re partnering with. @maritstilesndp.bsky.social @theondy.bsky.social

That Catholic school boards in Ontario have policies preventing the display of Pride flags inside schools shows how harmful they are to 2SLGBTQI+ students. The only solution is to #EndCatholicSchoolBoards in Ontario, to merge Catholic with non-Catholic boards. www.cp24.com/toronto/arti...

"End public funding for Catholic schools. Having a vast separate system for Catholics makes no sense in 21st-century Canada. We don’t fund Jewish, Hindu or Muslim schools. Why Catholic ones?" - Marcus Gee in @theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/toron...
