On May 6, 2021, Trustee Maria Rizzo shamefully voted in favour of three anti-Catholic motions, advanced by lgbt activists within the board, to use the TCDSB as a vehicle to promote the acceptance and celebration of homosexual lifestyles and LGBT ideologies to impressionable students. The motions, which ultimately passed, sought to proclaim June as gay "Pride Month" and to fly homosexual Pride flag at every Catholic school throughout June.

Dissident Catholic trustee Rizzo was re-elected during the 2018 election cycle. She has repeatedly voted in a manner that had the effect of undermining Catholic doctrine and moral teaching. Click the VOTES tab to view her anti-Catholic voting record.

During the 2018 election campaign, she expressed support for the radical, child abusive sex curriculum developed under the direction of Kathleen Wynne's convicted pedophile, former Deputy Education Minister, Benjamin Levin.

In September 2019, Rizzo supported efforts by a dissident teacher to force the the TCDSB to accept and affirm radical transgender ideology by adding the unscientific, anti-Catholic theories of "Gender Identity" and "Gender Expression" into the board's Code of Conduct as "non-discrimination" categories.

Few people have done more than Rizzo to destroy the religious beliefs of thousands - perhaps tens of thousands - of young Catholics, and lead them into non-belief, secular atheism and hatred for the Catholic Church. Rizzo must be removed from office in the next election scheduled for the fall of 2022, or earlier should the opportunity present itself.
