TORONTO, ON, September 16, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A father of a six-year-old student in the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) says he was shocked to discover what the school board considers to be Days of Significance, reports the Toronto Sun.
In the Days of Significance calendar in his sons 2011-12 daily planner, Jaak Purres discovered days devoted to transgendered people, prostitution, gender identity, and Dyke marches.
I was looking through this thing and was shocked, said the outraged father. Its just bizarre! Hes six. I want him to enjoy being six.
Purres pointed out that the planner comes from a school that goes only till the 5th grade, so they are not going to be able to say it was in there for the older kids either. I just dont get it because the kids in first grade can read.
Spokesperson for the school board Shari Schwartz-Maltz said that the planner is not consistent with what is in most readers throughout the board, reported the Toronto Sun.
However, the Days of Significance calendar is available on the boards own website.
Since news about the planner broke, Chris Bolton, the Chair of the Toronto District School Board, has apologized for the distribution of the planner.
“Any distribution of the agenda books in the schools has been stopped until we get to the bottom of this,” said Bolton, according to NewsTalk 1010.
Among the Days of Significance celebrated in the planner are:
International Transgender Day of Remembrance: November 19th.
This day is set aside to memorialize those who were killed because of transphobia: anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The day also provides an opportunity to acknowledge one of the most common reasons students are bullied and harassed: their gender identity/expression. Staff and Students are encouraged to create awareness and organize actions with the goal of ending transphobia.
International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers: December 17th.
In respect of sex work, this day aims at bringing attention to the sufferings of sex workers who lack access to clean safe places to work.
International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia: May 17th.
This day addresses the challenges faced by the LGBTTQ [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Two-spirited, and Queer] community who still experience discrimination, harassment and persecution. The bulletin for the day points out that homophobia and other forms of gender-based violence remain a serious concern for many TDSB schools.
LGBTQ Pride Week: June 23rd.
This day brings support to the concept that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersexed, and two spirited (LGBTTQQI2S) people should be proud of their sexual orientation and gender identity. The bulletin for the day mentions that sexual orientation and gender identity are inherent and cannot be intentionally altered.
The Days of Significance also include Wiccan seasonal festivals with instructions for rites and ritual practices.

Ping!
Should be: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersexed, two spirited, sex professionals, amateur sluts, pedophiles, animal lovers and other nuts. (LGBTTQQI2SSPASPALON) people.
Just sayin’...
Not a US school but certainly a reason to homeschool
“LGBTTQQI2S”
Maybe a translation of the title would help. I can take some guesses!
The cultural Marxists have to destroy the children’s innocence and corrupt them before their “fixed standards” of right and wrong are established so that their worldview becomes one of moral relativism.
They are intentionally destroying logic and thinking in young children—destroying the foundational “truths” so that children will have no basis to decide “right and wrong”. It is corrupting their worldview to make them hate Christian moral standards and adopt the morality of the atheist/pagan/Marxist which will destroy the natural family because the behaviors they will endorse destroy all long term relationships and are narcissistic.
It is clear that the monkeys are running the zoo.
How does this not qualify as child molestation?
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know Gods righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
HOW DARE HE!!!!! He wants his six year old child to be happy when there are PEOPLE SUFFERING IN THE WORLD BECAUSE THEY'RE TRANSGENDERED AND GAY AND THEY GET NO RESPECT!!!!!
“The Days of Significance also include Wiccan seasonal festivals with instructions for rites and ritual practices.”
Ah believes! Ah believes - so how cum the virgins bearing the sacred gold bars ain’t a ringin’ muh doorbell?
I don’t believe there are many things crueler and more depraved than the deliberate pollution of childhood innocence.

how bout simply FDRQ??? seems Ungland and CanaDUH are in a race to the bottom...
Looks to me like some people are in the business of manufacturing homosexuals.
Homosexual perverts used to lurk in public toilets.
Now they run our public schools. God help the children.
Guess if a teacher is too incompetent to teach a child how to read, the least they can do is teach the joys of using a hooker... /s

I'm finding it difficult to think of words that can in any way express the shock and horror I feel toward what is happening in our society. How many times can I post that what is happening is insane?
It sounds like a typical school year in Massachusetts!
LOL! Yep, that acronym seems to keep growing and growing. And, just what the heck is “two-spirited”? That’s a new one on me.
In my opinion, any parent who sends their children to public school is, essentially, a child abuser.
I have become sick of hearing the excuse “We can’t afford it.” A loving parent can afford it. A parent who truly loves his or her children can afford anything he or she has to in order to keep them safe. The mother and father of a family which has an income too low to pay for private school after living expenses are taken out should work two or three jobs and/or slash their living expenses or both to make that tuition payment. When we became parents, my spouse and I decided that we would sell our house, wear rags, eat out of a dumpster, whore ourselves out to truckers, or do anything else we had to do in order to avoid sending our innocent children to public school. We still hold to that decision. I beg all of you who have minor children to make the same commitment.
HOW DARE HE!!!!!
Didn't some Ivy League A-hole study conclude that white kids become racist by age 3? Maybe they also develop all the other 'phobias' by that time too. The libs gotta learn 'em young!
No problem. Well said.
Paganism is back...
Yes these are the things elementary school kids should be getting excited about. I wonder what they are going to be doing for crafts those days?” Susi what did you do at school today? Mommy look I drew a picture of a pretty sex worker!”
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, 2 Spirited.
Intersex is one born with ambiguous genitalia due to birth defect.
2 Spirited is something to do with Native Americans who take on gender roles of both men and women--I don't know why they get their own category.
As far as I can deduce, Transgender seems to be a cross-dresser, contented with their body but not the associated gender roles, while a Transexual is one who wants to change their physical body.
Queer appears to be a "catch all" and "Questioning" are those who don't know what they are.
It is sad that on an unabashedly Christian web site, this is the only comment your post is likely to receive.
God Bless.
Romans 1:20-31
IMHO, ignorance is bliss ;-)
Which means...
"Who the Hell let this get out to the PARENTS!?!? We're supposed to indoctrinate the kids WITHOUT them knowing!"
Apparently, not enough. The frequency of such articles is growing in volume, as is the gravity of the content. What alarms me most is the spread and implementation of this philosophy around the globe. Each story leaves me feeling like a deer in the headlights.
These children are going to be a bunch of dummies because they are not being taught grammar,history,math,etc.
Santayana, the poet, reminds us that "history repeats itself".
Chapter 1 of the Book of Ecclesiastes, however, best addresses the shortsightedness of humans.
9 What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done. Nothing is new under the sun!e10
Even the thing of which we say, “See, this is new!” has already existed in the ages that preceded us.f11
There is no remembrance of past generations;g nor will future generations be remembered by those who come after them.*
And to think it all started with a modest, unassuming G for gay. Dictionary publishers will be hard pressed to keep up. Does anyone pronounce LGBT as “luggbutt”?
When do they get around to a Day of Remembrance for Persecuted Christians? And does the school have any formal recognition of Veteran’s Day or Memorial Day?
I thought not.
You left out Furries! (pout) (Or would that be “snarl”?)
This is beyond psychotically evil.
You are so right, NYer. It is increasing in intensity, volume, and location. Those pushing the worst of evils of all kinds are on a freaking rampage. We each owe it to God and all humanity to do whatever we can, large or small.
LOL! No, but have a feeling that I will now. :)

Agreed. Sometimes, even small gestures can make a difference.
Even if we think “Well, what can little ol’ I do? I’m a nobody”. Doesn’t matter. One person influencing one person - times a million - two million - four million - will make a difference.
And it’s vital to do what is right in the eyes of God even if there is no visible effect.
