(LifeSiteNews) — High schoolers are reportedly being secretly surveyed on their “preferred pronouns” at an Ontario school in the latest move to undermine parental rights and children’s safety.
According to school documents from a Thames Valley District School Board high school, an Ontario school is questioning students in grades 9 to 11 on their preferred pronouns while assuring them that this information will be kept secret from their parents.
“What are your preferred pronouns?” read a survey, shared with independent media outlet True North by a concerned mother.
Another question asked, “What pronouns should I use on your report card?”
The survey, administered as routine paperwork in civics and family studies courses, further encouraged children to keep their gender confusion a secret from their parents by asking if they use different pronouns at school compared with at home.
“Is there anything I should know about contacting home?” the survey asked, including suggestions such as, “‘My mom sleeps in the day and works nights’ or ‘I live with my dad most of the time’ or ‘I use a different pronoun at home than in the classroom’ or ‘My mom works for the school board so you can find her in the school email system.'”
The survey also asked students if they struggle with mental or physical health issues. Students were later asked what name and pronouns they wanted written on their midterm report cards, which would presumably be viewed by their parents.
Unfortunately, the school survey is consistent with Canadian school’s promotion of the LGBT ideology behind parents’ backs.
As LifeSiteNews previously reported, in October, a Toronto-area school was exposed for pushing LGBT propaganda on third graders, including lessons on how to “get into drag.”
Additionally, earlier the same month, a British Columbia school was accused of secretly “gender transitioning” an 8-year-old boy without parental knowledge or consent.
Recently, Ontario schools have been exposed for pushing the LGBT agenda on children, with some even going as far as to socially gender-transition children without parental knowledge or consent.
In 2024, LifeSiteNews reported that Ontario parents were outraged after learning that public schools did not ask for parental consent before socially “gender transitioning” their children, resulting in child-parent relationships being torn apart.
Many Ontario school boards, including the York Region District School Board, Thames Valley District School Board, and the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, have policies requiring a student’s permission before parents can be informed of their child’s decision to “gender transition.”
While Liberal and NDP provincial schools work to withhold information from parents, Alberta and Saskatchewan have introduced legislation to ensure parents are informed of their children’s decisions in school.
Despite the claims of LGBT activists, a significant body of evidence shows that “affirming” gender confusion carries serious harms, especially when done with impressionable children who lack the mental development, emotional maturity, and life experience to consider the long-term ramifications of the decisions being pushed on them or full knowledge about the long-term effects of life-altering, physically transformative, and often irreversible surgical and chemical procedures.
Studies find that more than 80 percent of children suffering gender dysphoria outgrow it on their own by late adolescence and that “transition” procedures, including “reassignment” surgery, fail to resolve gender-confused individuals’ heightened tendency to engage in self-harm and suicide – and even exacerbate it, including by reinforcing their confusion and neglecting the actual root causes of their mental strife.
