Few have done more harm to young Catholic students than Trustee Maria Rizzo through her promotion of the anti-Catholic LGBT agenda at the TCDSB. This sinful agenda, which has exposed hundreds of thousands of young Catholics to the poison of sexual immorality and perversion, is utterly incompatible with the Christian faith and should have no place at the TCDSB.

Trustee Rizzo was an early supporter of the radical, child abusive sex curriculum devised under the direction of then-Premier Kathleen Wynne's former Deputy Education Minister, and subsequently convicted pedophile, Benjamin Levin.

Over the years of her tenure, Trustee Rizzo has scandalously and stubbornly voted to promote the anti-Catholic LGBT agenda to impressionable students, including proclaiming June as gay "Pride Month", flying the homosexual Pride flag at TCDSB headquarters and at every one of its schools throughout the month of June, and adding transgender ideology to the board’s Code of Conduct.

More recently, in explaining her vote against a motion to restore the glorious St. Michael the Archangel prayer to board meetings, she blasphemously stated, "I don't want to put the fear of God in our children."
