Trustee Kathleen Woodcock

| Waterloo Region District School Board (Waterloo-Wilmot), ONWaterloo-Wilmot

CLC rating: Pro-LGBT ideology

Light Rating

Rating Comments: At a WRDSB Trustee Board Meeting on January 17, 2022, this trustee voted to unfairly suppress 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 was interrupted 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.

Previously, Trustee Woodcock made comments promoting the dangerous, anti-scientific theories of gender identity and gender expression, and demanded the reinstatement of Kathleen Wynne’s radical sex curriculum, over and above the rights of parents to guide the moral education of their own children.

Sex-Ed curriculum: Motions to protect parental rights in education against the Wynne government's sex-ed over-reach. Trustees from various school boards made motions to curtail the Wynne government's imposition of its graphic sex-ed curriculum. The curriculum infringes on parental rights in education by forcing children at very young ages to be exposed to LGBTQ ideology, unhealthy sexual practices, and disordered gender concepts. Motions include those to delay implementation of the sex-ed curriculum to allow time for meaningful parental consultation, as well as a more detailed evaluation of the inadequate and evasive government-run consultation process.	Opposed
Support for in-school child-sexualization tactics that use perverse books / materials aimed at young children Vote or statement in support of school-based child-sexualization via the use of perverse books and other "educational" materials aimed at polluting the imaginations of young, impressionable children. Such materials typically promote premature sexual fascination, experimentation, homoerotic fixations, and transgender ideology, including chemical or surgical mutilation of healthy body parts.	Yes
Motion to fill trustee vacancies by an appointment process, rather than through by-elections or offering vacant positions to election runners-up. Anti-democratic Motion giving power to sitting trustees to arbitrarily appoint, based on some internal criteria, replacement trustees to fill vacancies. Under this Motion, voters would be totally ignored: no by-election would be called to allow voters a say in who fills a trustee vacancy; further, even trustee candidates who were runners-up in the previous municipal election, and therefore would have at least some statistical level of voters' support, would not be automaticallly approached to fill the vacancy.	Supported
