Ontario’s College of Teachers has accused a school board trustee of professional misconduct for comments he made on gender identity and abortion, and is holding disciplinary hearings to investigate the allegation.
Trustee Mike Del Grande of the Toronto Catholic School Board could be disciplined for two incidents. In one, he spoke to a student trustee after she criticized an anti-abortion film. On the other occasion, Del Grande commented on a “slippery slope” the board might go down if it included protections for “gender identity” and “gender expression” in its Code of Conduct.
