The Grades 1-8 Fully Alive program (including its textbook and teachers' resource) teaches homophobia and transphobia to students in the Catholic part of Ontario's public education system. In summary, students are taught that sexual love should only occur in a male-female marriage (in which children should only be born or adopted) and that persons should identify by gender with the gender (male or female) attributed to them at birth.

Read below for suggestions for what you can do as a parent (to stop your children from being taught what is homophobia and transphobia) and for what you can do as a Catholic educator (that is, not teach or encourage others to teach what is homophobia and transphobia) when Theme 3 of Fully Alive is scheduled to be taught at your school(s).

Following are short presentations (click on the specific button for the link) with a focus on examples of how Fully Alive (Theme 3) teaches homophobia and transphobia (with a focus on homophobia) to hundreds of thousands of students in Ontario's public education system.
