Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by David Dean on 2018.
Question | Response |
---|---|
Do you agree that parents, not the state, have the inherent right of primacy in education of children? | Too simplistic to answer Yes or No. It depends on the values in question |
Will you defend the inherent right of parents to be notified in advance regarding any lesson, speaker or presentation involving controversial issues such as abortion, contraception, homosexuality, and gender ideology? | Again, too simplistic for yes or no. The Ontario curriculum needs to be followed and implemented with sensitivity on controversial issues. Good communication is at the heart of the question. |
Do you agree that parents should have the right to withdraw their children from classroom lessons or presentations involving controversial issues such as abortion, contraception, homosexuality, and gender ideology? | Depends on age of the child. While I share some of your concerns about the effectiveness and suitability of parts of the curriculum, I still cannot answer yes or no. I do not regard contraception or homosexuality as controversial when they are presented for information rather than advocacy purposes. |
