Waterloo School Board shuts down opposition to sexualized children’s books

The Waterloo Regional District School Board doesn’t want you to see their board meeting, in which a teacher was cut off and cancelled partway through her speech to trustees for expressing concern about some highly sexualized books available in elementary school libraries.

Board chairman Scott Piatkowski cautioned and then stopped Carolyn Burjoski barely four minutes into her talk when she raised the age appropriateness of two books that include highly sexual references to homosexuality and transsexuality.

This meeting took place on January 17, 2022.
