To promote a controversial equity policy, the Toronto Catholic District School Board is bringing in a leading ‘equity’ trainer who advocates same-sex ‘marriage’ and surrogacy for homosexual families, reports LifeSiteNews.com. The board, which last month voted down amendments to the policy designed to protect Catholic teaching, is hosting a morning symposium March 26th at Bishop Marrocco/Thomas Merton Catholic Secondary School to promote “equity and inclusivity” in the schools. Trustees are expected to pass the policy, which comes as part of the Ontario government’s mandatory and controversial equity and inclusive education strategy, sometime in April. The symposium is set to be led by Chris D’Souza, one of the government’s key “equity” trainers, who has made it a key point in his presentations to Catholics that “equity” involves accepting the homosexual lifestyle itself. Trustee John Del Grande, who had proposed the pro-family amendments to the board’s equity policy, said he was concerned about how it would be implemented given the administration’s decision to use D’Souza as an equity trainer. “If our senior staff ... bring in these kinds of speakers who have a public record of being offside with direct Bishop and Catholic teachings, then obviously they must think it’s okay,” he told LifeSiteNews. “That then starts to worry me about principals and teachers throughout our school system.” To read the full story, click here.
