On April 23, 2024, Trustee Crawford voted against a powerful, and potentially culture-changing right to life motion which would have required schools to fly the International Pro-life Flag throughout the month of May, encouraged teachers and students to attend the National March For Life, and mandated that students receive a full day of pro-life instruction in which the Catechism, Holy Bible and other Church writings would have been studied.

Not only did Crawford vote Nay to this potentially life-saving motion, but she and the Director of Education even plotted to disallow six TCDSB ratepayers from delegating orally to the Board of Trustees during the April 23rd meeting. They did this by manipulating and abusing the Delegations policy to attack democratic participation by taxpayers who pay their salaries, and to prevent their voices from being heard by Trustees. Even the dissident, anti-Catholic Trustee, Maria Rizzo, condemned this anti-democratic action by the Chair and Director.

Crawford was previously green-lit, and it is with sorrow that we were forced to downgrade her.
