Teresa Pierre, Salt & Light interview on PAFE mission
Salt and Light Media interviewed Teresa Pierre on their show, Behold. Teresa discussed the issues parents are facing in school boards, PAFE’s attempts at holding those school boards accountable, and ultimately why parents SHOULD be the first educators of their children, with interviewer, Deacon Pedro Guevara-Mann.
PAFE's work gained momentum in 2018 when it put up a petition against Kathleen Wynne's sex-ed curriculum, including gender ideology. The curriculum introduced explicit and age-inappropriate sexual education in Ontario schools causing outcry among parents. It also introduced children to gender ideology; the teaching that gender is fluid, and you can be whatever gender you want depending how you feel, as well as teaching that there are more than two genders.
In addition to standing against gender ideology and Wynne's sex-ed curriculum, PAFE has taken stances against other detrimental curriculum changes like discovery math. Discovery math sets problem-solving situations that are designed to encourage a student to discover the answers without direct instruction from the teacher. This has had disastrous effects on Ontario students; according to a Fraser Institute study, in 2022-23 50% of Grade 6 students did NOT meet provincial math standards.
