Previously, Ms. Crowe had rightly voted YES on Trustee Cathy Ferlisi's 2014 Motion to write a letter to OECTA asking their membership not to participate in the homosexual World Pride Parade "as members of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association."

| Motion to fly the Gay Pride flag at school board headquarters In total opposition to Catholic doctrine, this motion sought to ensure that the Gay Pride flag would be flown at School Board Headquarters. |
Supported |  |
| Vaccinating girls against the sexually-transmitted HPV infection, a policy which gives license to premarital sex and undermines Church teaching on abstinence [2007] This fool-hardy policy would signal to young girls that it's ok to engage in premarital sex, and in fact, that it's expected of them. Besides the moral problems posed, the vaccine itself may be life-threatening. At the time this issue came up in schools across Ontario, the HPV vaccine known as Gardasil had already been linked to 11 deaths of young women and hundreds of hospitalizations in the United States in the first year of its availability. Therefore, an HPV vaccination policy in a Catholic school, serves not only to give licence to sexual promiscuity, but also endangers the lives of female children. It gives them a potentially deadly chemical substance, and a false sense of security that "it's 'safe' to have sex, because I'm 'protected' ". The HPV vaccine is not even close to a guaranteed prevention and actually "protects" against just a small percentage of HPV strains. The only policy that can result in 100% protection against HPV, is abstinence before marriage and fidelity within marriage. That's what Catholic schools should be teaching, rather than promoting false security blankets that encourage risky behaviour. [Oct 2007] |

Here are quotes from Elizabeth Crowe on various life and family issues:
Expressing support for giving the morally controversial HPV vaccine in schools: "We feel it's best for parents to make decisions for their children...We teach abstinence and chastity to our students and we see sexuality as a gift from God and we believe in the sanctity of marriage. We don't see how one vaccination for one sexually transmitted disease will be a licence for promiscuity." [TheStar.com September 2007]
Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Elizabeth Crowe on 2022.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Will you work to ensure that Catholic schools do not invite guest speakers who have publicly expressed positions that contradict the morality and teaching of the Church, no matter how great their achievements in politics, business, sports, science or the arts? | no response |
| Will you work to ensure that educational materials that enter the premises of Catholic schools (e.g., library resources, curriculum texts, awareness campaigns, flyers) and all approved school activities are consistent with and do not undermine the morality and teachings of the Church? | no response |
| Will you work to ensure that your Catholic school board enacts a policy requiring all agents and employees of the board to uphold the rights of custodial parents to direct and control the education of, and any medical treatment provided to, their dependent children attending its schools? | no response |
| Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion*? (*Note: a surgical or medical intervention designed to prevent the death of the mother but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion) | no response |
| Will you work to ensure that your Board publicly promotes total fidelity to the faith and moral teachings of the Catholic Church? (Current examples include the illicitness of abortion, contraception and homosexual practice) | no response |
| Will you oppose sex-ed programs which are contrary to Church teaching? | no response |
| Given that the Gay Pride flag is a controversial political symbol which contradicts Church teaching on marriage & human sexuality, will you oppose any and all proposals to fly the Gay Pride flag at Catholic schools, at the board office, or to acknowledge and celebrate June as Pride month? | -- |
