Welcome

Children should be taught according to the collective will of their parents—not the will of special interest groups, political parties, bureaucrats or governments.

We stand against all unfair discrimination of students regardless of race, religion or sexual status; but we oppose favouring any group at the expense of parental rights as regards to the development of school curriculum.

Issues of rights will only be acted upon when first deemed to be a right by the Supreme Court of Canada.

Objectives:

1.To fight decisions and actions contrary to the Mission Statement.

2.To oppose those seeking political office that do not support the Mission Statement.

3.To establish by law, that all material curriculum change shall first be put to a vote of all parents of schools children enrolled in the public school system for approval before implementation.
