On April 28, 2025, Kraft voted in favour of continuing to fly the sin-laden LGBTQ "Pride" flag at every Catholic school, throughout the entire month of June.

She displayed her dissent from Catholic moral teaching about human sexuality as early as Oct. 7, 2014, during an all-candidate's forum in which she supported Catholic teachers marching in Toronto's Gay Pride Parade. The gay pride parade contradicts Catholic sexual teaching, Christian beliefs about marriage, and celebrates homosexual sex. The gay pride parade is also also a raunchy, lewd event which features full frontal nudity, mock sex acts, sexual bondage and sadomasochism. For this reason, it has been described as a 'sex parade' by several critics. It is grossly inappropriate for any Catholic to support this event which undermines Catholic beliefs, much less for someone who seeks to be a school trustee and would have a fiduciary duty to uphold and teach the Catholic faith.

Fisher is being endorsed by Roger Lawler, the former WCDSB Director of Education who first began flooding our Catholic schools with LGBT propaganda, despite protests by faithful Catholic ratepayers. Therefore, we do not trust Fisher.

She wore an LGBT "Pride" pin on her sweater at a debate on Oct. 4th, during the 2026 school board election campaign, demonstrating her commitment to a thoroughly anti-Christian ideology.

Hutton was also endorsed by the heretical, anti-Catholic teachers union known as OECTA.

Some red flags already exist with Kearns. First, her campaign materials focus heavily on "inclusion", which is often code word for leftists which really means promoting transgenderism and homosexuality. Secondly, she focuses heavily on a squishy, ambiguous term - "Catholic social teaching" - that is often used by leftists and dissidents who infiltrate the Church in order to better destroy it from within, by using that expression to justify normalizing behaviours and lifestyles that the Catholic Church deems gravely sinful. Caution is advised with this candidate.
