TORONTO – Ethnic media outlets have traditionally played a crucial role in helping newcomers navigate life in their newly adopted home. Rarely, though, have they been as invaluable as they were during the Covid pandemic.

Pubblichiamo, di seguito, il suo commento e la replica dell’Editore.
TORONTO – One of our readers, Jean-Richard Pelland, sent us a comment about our article “OECTA ‘gender ideologues’ cast a pall over the YCDSB“, published on line on 29th March and on the newspaper on 30th March. We publish, below, his comment and the Publisher’s reply.
TORONTO – Molti insegnanti sono modelli di virtù, esempi e modelli per i bambini affidati alle loro cure. “Servono” in loco parentis, i nostri surrogati una volta che li lasciamo nella proprietà della scuola. Come minimo, da loro, ci aspettiamo che trasmettano valori che riflettano l’amore per “l’apprendimento” (analisi critica), il senso di responsabilità, il rispetto per la Legge (e tutto ciò che comporta) e l’impegno per la visione istituzionale del loro datore di lavoro… noi, i genitori dei loro studenti.
TORONTO – There is chaos at the York Catholic District School Board, where a real tug of war is underway between parents who do not want their children – still at an early age – to be subjected, “under the guise of inclusiveness”, to pressure on sexual orientations and the Board itself which, with trustees and teaching staff, goes in the exact opposite direction and wants to support initiatives in favor of the LGBTQ+ community. In the meeting of 28 February, two parents, Carlo Ravenna and Sheree Di Vittorio, expressed their concerns on the matter (“our children have the right to their innocence”, they said) and a climate of tension was created which culminated with the arrival of the police. Another meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, with four speeches (two for each “party”): Sheree herself had asked to be able to speak but was denied this possibility. Corriere Canadese asked her to send to the editorial office the speech she would have read and it will be published in tomorrow’s printed edition of the Italian newspaper. Here below is the speech in its entirety.
