Just wondering when the very small minority started speaking for the large majority ?

Completely unexceptionable behaviour. Most schools have single use washrooms meaning 1 person use. No student or person should ever feel threatened for using a bathroom it’s just foolishness and your trampling on a persons basic human right.

Who cares if they have gender neutral washrooms, nobody’s forcing anybody to use them if they don’t want to. Snowflakes ❄️

For the last thousand+ years this was not an issue. Now people are fighting and hating each other over washrooms because of a radical ideology that demands not only tolerance but total acceptance to its demands.

Just create a third bathroom and end this. A boy is a boy. A girl is a girl. A trans is a trans. I’m so glad I grew up in the 80s into the early 90s and my parents didn’t have to deal with this.

Keep a bathroom for boys and girls and the easiest solution is build a gender neutral one. This is a very simple solution for everyone. The persons can then choose which door they want. Can't complain after that.

Ah ha, let's see a girl is still a girl if she has a virginal, boy still boy if he has a punishment, why is thhs so hard to understand

I’m not sure what you people do in there… but I keep my eyes on my own business, I don’t talk to anyone and I don’t see anything but backs of people… so man or woman, who gives a shit?

Why does the minority (Trans) mental health and safety become more important than the majority (Straight) mental health and safety. Let’s stop catering to the minority all because they cry whine scream and call names to get their way.

Keep woke leftist indoctrination out of our schools and institutions

Yes let's change the subject 🤡🤡

Thank you Principal Lafrance for being an educated person out supporting our kids. I met you last night and when I told you that I wished so many other principals were like you I wasn’t joking. You gave my mama bear heart some much needed hope.

Want this to end fast create a bathroom for trans men and women this way they forced to use same bathroom as the sex they were born as and you watch those washroom will never be used.

If anyone thinks that grown men should be allowed to walk into the same bathroom as little girls or women needs serious help.

That’s what’s wrong the LGBTQRSTUV +++* minority think by fighting and screaming or name calling will have us back down which has worked but we are sick and tired of the minority fools trying to control the majority and they upset we won’t cower to pressure.

Lots of people seem really concerned about other people’s crotches these days. I myself don’t tend to pay attention to who’s in a public washroom with me at the same time, let alone what they are doing, or what they got going on in their nether regions.

The way things are in schools now, maybe it's better to be homeschooled.

I can't believe this conversation is even required. If males are allowed to use female washrooms, regardless of how they identify themselves, it will end no where good. Trans-activism has taken over common sense in education, sports and even prisons. What will ever be enough?

You’re not allowed to ask legitimate, reasonable questions of these fringe groups. No consideration for the 10 & 12 y.o. girls that are concerned about using the washroom. The father was only asking what everyone else was thinking.

Build a separate bathroom for them

Do the teachers share the washroom with there fellow trans teachers ? I doubt it, see how they like it. I would run like a deer if a trans came in to my washroom.

They need to have their own bathroom and what ever goes on in there is their problem.

Social Mediaa Algos at work 🤷‍♂️

Humanity was never ready for the internet. I miss the 80s.

If they were conservative/ the media would have already labeled them far right extremism

Parents need to grow up!

The bigger issue is that the education system is harming students by affirming their delusions instead of insisting that they receive the mental health treatment they need. Education is supposed to be based on facts not fantasy.

Retrofitting washrooms in all schools is not something the board can afford immediately. This is a no win situation. All I can say is that I’m glad I’m a retired administrator.

Perhaps,the real problem with this LGBTQ2+ initiative is that it's not aimed at improving the lives of children BUT at helping adults who identify as LGBTQ feel better about themselves;Using impressionable youths to mainstream their lifestyle, so that they’re not seen as“OTHER”🤷🏽‍♂️

Trans people, particularly trans kids, are being targeted for harassment for being who they are. Violence is never right but these protests are going to get heated since they’re fighting for their existence

wait until the transphobes hear that they have a gender neutral bathroom in their house 😵

Just have have single person bathrooms. Transgender youth search out those most.

I get trans people feel like they the other gender. Have these people thought for 1min how a grade 1 little girl would feel having a grade 6boy come in to the bathroom? Why do we have to accommodate to them, when the majority of students do not feel safe or agree?

Seriously, we're in Canada, not the USA. A handful of folks getting guidance from the rural church basement crowd need to keep their shit together. Religion, like everything else,is a choice but so is somebody's sexuality. Be respectful, be Canadian!

Wow! Ottawa is not doing to good. I grew up there. Christ! It has changed!

So it’s better to make a few students comfortable at the discomfort of most students? Here’s a solution, just build separate washrooms, just like there’s ♿️ washrooms

Kathleene Wynne's Agenda in our province Over Facts DougFord Why are we expected to follow their instructions, but they are not willing to consider our input when it comes to our children? BOYS GIRLS (ONLY) OTHER(Single stalls) LEAVE our Damn kids alone! (Crazy ideologies!)

You forgot to mention in your reporting the assaults from trans activists against children and seniors that were attending the meeting.

Things are getting crazy out there, folks!

I need to fix another headline for you CTV: Angry transgender activists assaulted peaceful parents concerned about the safety of their children.

Boys in the boys bathroom, girls in the girls bathroom. You are born the way you are born. Calling yourself anything else doesn't make it true.

It was deplorable the way transphobic parents were acting last night. Extremely poor example for their children. We need tolerance.

The woke crowd is completely out of control. Hey, I identify as a walrus. I would like walrus only washrooms otherwise I am offended and uncomfortable. When will these be installed?

Did anyone think to create transgender washrooms? It wouldn't be too difficult and would save a lot of angst.

Great so more girls can get raped by bio males just like happening the USA. And if you complain as the parent of the raped you get arrested. The demonic lefties can piss off to the seventh circle of hell.

Oh FFS there’s hundreds of restaurants thats have bathrooms that are for everyone!! Try keeping up !! 🤦‍♂️

Honestly… have mens, ladies and gender neutral washrooms… give everyone a safe space. It’s not rocket science. Our kids are hurting, let’s support them. Apparently many of the anti trans trouble makers were also wearing freedom convoy gear… a trouble maker is always that….

An elderly person was pushed to the ground by a trans activist. Another trans activist threw a coffee at someone coming out of the meeting. Another trans activist snatched a phone from someone's hand during an argument. The violence was entirely from one side.

Funny thing, the OCDSB never required police assistance before the Left-wing, communist, Pro-Trans Groomer was elected - The radical nilikm who was forced to remove tweeted lies at the request of her lawyers... that's where we're at.. and Trustee Evans... a mask?... really?

The solution is simple: Ensure that government & all other institutions stick directly to their substantive mandates; nothing more, no social-engineering, racial, religion, etc.... just pure education, sciences, mathematics, tech, etc.

I’m certain that many of these people wearing disguises are paid activists. Paid for by leftist organizations who get grants from the federal government. This has to stop.

I just like to watch people fight over dumb shit.

This needs to stop! Maybe change the Board meeting to virtual until things calm down. She’s received many death threats and that alone is a risk to anyone attending the meeting! I can’t believe this is happening in our city and all our board meetings.

How about a story on the anti semetic violent threats a trustee has been receiving for months

There’s a serious mental health epidemic going on. Support requires treatment, NOT buying into fantasies.🤷‍♂️ Youth are confused already as their hormone enraged bodies deceive them from one day to the next. Such a shame in the name of “inclusivity”. Extremely dangerous.

Clashing parents or was it extreme left wing activists attacking those with a different opinion.

Are you posting the purple hair guy attacking elderly person?

no child is born in the wrong body
