Cindy has solidly defended parental rights in education, and done her best to protect childen from premature sexualization. On June 15, 2015, Cindy Watson made a Motion requesting more thorough parental review and information regarding the Ontario Liberal government's radical sex-ed program aimed at young children, but the Motion was defeated. The primary reason given for the Motions defeat was that trustees felt they had no choice but to implement the Ministry of Education's mandated curriculum. Watson has taken action to protect the right of parents to withdraw kids from classroom lessons that parents view as not in line with their religious or moral beliefs. After other trustees tried banning students from receiving Gideon Bibles as a resource if they wanted one, Watson spoke out to defend the students' rights.

At a WRDSB Trustee Board Meeting on January 17, 2022, Trustee Watson rightly voted to hear a delegation presentation by a courageous teacher who was drawing attention to inappropriate children's books in the school library which presented very real potential harms to young children. The presentation had been interrupted by the pro-LGBT Board Chairman because it dared to question the age-appropriateness of these books that were promoting transgender and LGBT ideology, including sex change surgery, to impressionable children as young as 8 years of age.
