Approves of inclusion of gender ideology
On Nov. 7, 2019, the Toronto Catholic District School Board Canada's largest Catholic school board, forming more than 90,000 Catholic children annually voted to add transgender ideology as a protected ground for non-discrimination into its code of conduct.
The 12-member, elected board of trustees passed the anti-Christian motion by a vote of 8 to 4, which added the terms "gender identity" and "gender expression" as protected classes that must be "respected" throughout the school environment.
Campaign Life Coalition has been following this tragic situation closely, and in fact, we've been lobbying His Eminence, the cardinal-archbishop of Toronto, for quite some time, begging him to command the Catholic School Trustees to reject transgender ideology.
A clear directive from the spiritual leader in the diocese, Cdl. Thomas Collins, telling trustees to vote against gender ideology would have influenced at least a couple more trustees to vote in accordance with Catholic teaching, and defeated the motion to adopt gender identity theory in the schools. And even if they disobeyed him, it would have been a powerful teaching moment by the shepherd to encourage faithful Catholics to continue defending the Faith against this transhumanist heresy that attacks the image of God in creation.
Cardinal Collins didn't even have to pronounce a direct edict on how to vote, in order for this evil policy to have been defeated. If His Eminence had simply issued a strong public statement declaring gender identity theory to be "incompatible with Christianity," it would have likely been enough to encourage a majority of trustees to defeat the motion. Moreover, the cardinal would have been taking on his proper role of leading this spiritual battle, instead of laypeople at Campaign Life Coalition having to do it.

Time to throw out 8 trustees
State pays tuition for Catholic schools in Canada.
So the Toronto Catholic District School Board has concluded that Almighty God made a mistake when he made them male & female. Not a diocese I would attend.
