One Ontario school board wants educators to indoctrinate kids with gender ideology, to “decentre whiteness,” and vilify Canadian culture.
Thames Valley District School Board staff training materials for last year’s Pride Month were released to the public through a freedom of information request obtained by podcaster and host of the Weekly Canadian Gender Wars Report podcast Melanie Bennett.
The ideological material included self-assessments designed to shame teachers who do not conform to woke world views and links to activist organizations educating staff on the proper use of neo-pronouns and the importance of gender-neutral parenting.
The educational resources were prefaced with the statement that the school board does not necessarily endorse the material from external websites that they link to. At the same time, the board directs staff to learn from and use resources from those organizations for themselves and in their classrooms.
TVDSB encouraged staff to use a self-assessment tool developed by School Mental Health Ontario to reflect on their own “cultural humility,” or an admission of ignorance about other cultures and a willingness to learn from them. It said cultural humility incorporates “redressing” or correcting power dynamics and involves a continuous commitment to “reflection and critique of race, ethnicity, culture, language, sexual orientation and class.”
The assessment initially asked school staff to reflect on their own biases but presented a series of ideological positions as facts that teachers either “know” or are ignorant of, rather than being a matter of personal belief.
