Some schools do not disclose student pronouns without student consent. But parental rights advocates say parents have the right to know how their child identifies at school – no matter what. Hosts Matt Nethersole and Tiff Lam head to the 1 Million March for Children to learn more about the legal, social, and human rights implications of the parental rights movement. This episode examines how Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child also shape the conversation. We hear from experts including human rights lawyer Marcus McCann and former Chief Commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission Raj Anand. How do courts reconcile conflicting rights, and what are the real-world stakes for queer and trans students? In this final episode of Queries: In Good Faith, we look at what can be done to move parents, children, and schools out of this ideological gridlock. Join us for an insightful discussion on one of the most polarizing issues facing Ontarians today.

Where does freedom of religion end and freedom from discrimination begin? In 2019, one trustee’s incendiary remarks sent shockwaves across the Toronto Catholic District School Board. Michael Del Grande argued that if Toronto Catholic schools were to protect queer and trans people from discrimination, then they should do the same for pedophiles and cannibals. His comments and the ensuing legal battle put a spotlight on the ideological divide around queer and trans inclusion. 

Teachers, students, parents and politicians are locked in a fierce debate over the future of Ontario’s Catholic schools. Who is really shaping the conversation on sex and gender? Does queer and trans inclusion infringe on freedom of religion? Co-hosts Matt Nethersole and Tiff Lam explore how human rights, sexuality, gender, religion and politics are colliding in Ontario’s Catholic schools and beyond.
