A pro-LGBT teachers’ union is trying to overturn a major win for parental rights.

Brenda Golden, President of the Dufferin-Peel chapter of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association (OECTA) has launched a petition to try and persuade the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (DPCDSB) to reverse its recent decision not to fly the transgender and homosexual “Pride” flag.

On June 11th, trustees with the DPCDSB, one of the largest school boards in the province, voted 6-3 to prevent the LGBT symbol from flying outside the board office or any of its schools …

And that’s made the radical activists in the teachers' union furious.

The aim of their new petition is to convince the DPCDSB leadership that flying the rainbow of licentiousness is somehow “crucial” for the Catholic board’s commitment to “upholding human rights”, but that couldn’t be further from the truth!

Catholic teaching clearly states that homosexual acts are gravely sinful.

Do you know what else is equally important here?

The Crucifix is the ultimate symbol of our love for all, and unity in Christ, but this fundamental aspect of our Discipleship in Christ isn’t acknowledged or respected by the teacher’s union.

Union bosses are hoping to use this new petition of theirs to pressure the DPCDSB to change course and start flying the LGBT Pride flag, but we can’t let that happen.

That’s why we’re launching our own powerful petition, to reinforce these trustees in the knowledge that they made the right decision on June 11, and that they can’t turn their backs on parents now – no matter how loud the radical pro-LGBT activists at OECTA scream.

Here’s the link to sign our petition, which is actually an existing petition against the Pride Flag in schools that already has 25,000 signatures.

We will deliver the petition to every trustee and the Director of Education.

There’s one other thing …

Please keep the trustees, Director, and the members of OECTA in your prayers, asking that they might obey God’s will.
