How Schools Sexualize Children
David Todor and the Parents Rights Movement
By
Earlier this week I informed Woke Watch Canada readers about the first annual National Parents Rights Virtual Summit, presented by the Parents Rights Coalition of Canada, being held tomorrow over Zoom between 12pm and 4pm (click here to register!).
This morning I spoke with David Todor, a father with two young girls enrolled in a Waterloo-Region District School Board (WRDSB) elementary school, and learned he will be presenting at the summit tomorrow on the topic of sexually explicit age-inappropriate books found in Canadian school libraries.
David is well known in the parents rights movement for his fiery delegations at WRDSB board meetings, and his independent research and journalism concerning the incursion of radical sex and gender theories into the Canadian education system. The last time I spoke with David was March of 2023 when he invited me on his podcast, which he publishes on his Beyond the Rift Youtube channel.
David has come a long way since then. He has gained a degree of mastery over the subject matter, published a ton of commentary on WRDSB affairs, delegated at WRDSB board meetings four times on topics related to gender ideology, and has come to grasp the politics around the Ontario Education Ministry, the school board trustees, the education superintendents, and the education directors.
In December of 2023 he published a year in review video where he characterized 2023 as the year “parents can’t stop winning.” David recalls the early months of the year when he became aware of the extent of the problem, and reminisces about the massive gains made in the parents rights movement which culminated in the national Million March 4 Children protests.
It was the controversy over WRDSB teacher Carolyn Burjoski that first alerted David to the problems in Canadian elementary schools. Carolyn was giving a presentation over Zoom at a January 2022 WRDSB meeting in which she expressed concern over the age appropriateness of books included in libraries of WRDSB schools, and was cut off mid-presentation by then board chair Scott Piatkowski.
Carolyn was not permitted to continue. This resulted in an uproar involving indignation over the denial of free speech, enraged parents, slander, court cases, and victories - although the affair is far from over (Carolyn soldiers on, collecting wins, deftly out-maneuvering the tactics of her attackers), recent developments were appropriately counted in David’s 2023 Major Victories Summary video for the parents rights movement. Find out more about Carolyn’s case here.
David’s first delegation at a WRDSB meeting in January of 2023 dealt with age inappropriate sexualized materials in libraries, and on WRDSB school surveys which requested that minors disclose details about sexuality. He asked the board, “who is interested in the sexuality of my daughter?” A video clip of this delegation went viral and appeared on Fox News.
During his presentation David read an excerpt from The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, a book he was able to access in the online school library using his daughters access information. Meaning, this and other books of a similarly explicit age-inappropriate nature, are accessible by elementary school students who have free access to their online school libraries. In a subsequent WRDSB meeting, a trustee was filmed expressing outrage that David had read such disgusting material in a public meeting. Entirely lost was the irony that the material was too disgusting for a public board meeting of adults, but was ok for elementary school students with library cards.
Here is the excerpt from The Bluest Eye that David read as part of his WRDSB delegation:
“He could have been an active homosexual but lacked the courage. Bestiality did not occur to him, and sodomy was quite out of the question, for he did not experience sustained erections and could not endure the thought of somebody else’s.
And since he was too diffident to confront homosexuality, and since little boys were insulting, scary, and stubborn, he further limited his interests to little girls. They were usually manageable and frequently seductive.
But someday I will die. I was always so kind. Why do I have to die? The little girls. The little girls are the only things I’ll miss. Do you know that when I touched their sturdy little tits and bit them—just a little—I felt I was being friendly?”
In spite of all the shocking information that David and others have presented to both parents and trustees at the WRDSB, the response from the board has only been to cast aspersions at parents with questions and defiantly double down on unpopular policies and procedures concerning sex and gender. Although not addressed directly, David was the target of an open letter written by the WRDSB (but not signed by anyone) in response to his first delegation. From Sue-Ann Levy’s report for True North:
“The letter – which stumbles along for three pages endeavouring to defend the indefensible – is a seeming attempt to intimidate and cancel yet another person (David) for daring to speak out about the board’s bizarre focus on age-inappropriate and highly sexualized books, surveys and policies.”
The letter characterized the concerns parents have with age appropriateness of sexualized materials, or policies around student surveys as “veiled attempts to target 2SLGBTQIA+ children and families, ” and associated those same concerns with racism, claiming that “hate, racism and xenophobia are not ‘opinions’ that should be gathered through consultation.”
During our conversation David mentioned something that I’ve noticed in my kids' school (which is part of the Peel District School Board). Even though, like at our school, David’s daughter’s school only goes up to grade six, the library has an LGBTQ “shrine” like area which features rainbow colours and way too much gender ideology. Why are there any books with confusing gender and sexual topics in libraries where the oldest students are twelve?
I have posted all four of David’s WRDSB delegations below. There is also a ton of content concerning the gender ideology shenanigans at WRDSB on his Youtube Channel Beyond the Rift. David’s presentation tomorrow at the inaugural National Parents Rights Virtual Summit will fill parents in on what is happening in libraries, and with gender ideology, in schools across the country. But most importantly, David will explain how schools sexualize children.

Excellent, I will be attending some of the talks tomorrow. What I have to come to understand about the radicals in the school boards, who seem obtuse to the very obvious incoherence in objecting to public readings of sexualized material in children's literature, is that they DON'T see a contradiction. They are both objecting to a a perceived lack of decorum in the readings during public state meetings, while simultaneously endorsing the content of the books for kids. I am not accusing the school boards of explicitly trying to sexualize children, however, it is no secret that Marxists like György Lukács encouraged the early sexualization of children as part of the Marxist effort to destabilize the family. The so-called Queer movement is also not about 'gay liberation' as one might assume, its really about breaking apart the norms of society. Queer literature makes this clear, its a political movement to destabilize. These radical elements, and some certainly exist in the school boards, have an explicit goal of remaking society, and destroying the family.
Among the questions in this article: “Even though, like at our school, David’s daughter’s school only goes up to grade six, the library has an LGBTQ “shrine” like area which features rainbow colours and way too much gender ideology. Why are there any books with confusing gender and sexual topics in libraries where the oldest students are twelve?”
Broadly, how did woke ideology replace education as a school’s primary purpose with infinitesimal parental complaint? Most schools have such “shrines” in their entranceway.
