Trustee Shawn Xaviour gave perfect answers to CLC's 2026 Catholic school trustee candidate questionnaire.

Previously, in a surprising and welcome pivot away from his one time support for LGBT propaganda at the DPCDSB, Trustee Xaviour voted against a sneaky motion in January 2025 that would have re-introduced the flying of “special interest” flags (chiefly the LGBT Pride flag) at the school board. This good move by the trustee may have been due in large part to a strong letter from Cardinal Leo, Archbishop of Toronto, against the promotion of political or ideological symbols at Catholic school boards that contradict Catholic teaching.

Prior to that, on September 26, 2023 this trustee voted in a disgraceful manner, to change the DPCDSB by-law governing Delegations & Submissions made by parents at school board meetings, to include new censorship provisions designed to block parents from being able to criticize Gender Identity Theory and LGBT Ideology.
