About

Parents As First Educators (P.A.F.E.) supports the authority of parents over the education of their children through grassroots activism. We monitor and intervene to ensure elected politicians keep their activities transparent and accountable to the public. 

P.A.F.E. was founded in 2011 by Dr. Teresa Pierre in response to government encroachment on the rights of Ontario's Catholic schools. Since then it has broadened its mandate, and now represents over 75,000 supporters from all school choices throughout Canada.

With a strong team of volunteers and funded by donations from people like you, P.A.F.E. supports family values and parental rights in education. Our activism includes:

  • acting as a leader in the fight against the implementation of a radical sex-ed curriculum in Ontario;
  • opposing the promotion of harmful ideologies such as gender ideology and critical race theory in schools;
  • advocating for legislation that will eliminate these despicable ideologies and promote family values;
  • informing parents about current educational issues;
  • keeping elected politicians accountable for their actions at all levels of government; and
  • helping parents defend their rights within the school system.

We are a leading voice for the defence of parental rights in Canada.
