Speaking at a news conference on Parliament Hill Thursday, representatives of Hands off our Kids say they expect upwards of two million participants to take part in rallies across the country, opposing what they describe as a proliferation of identity politics in schools, and opposing what their website describes as “sexually explicit content and gender ideology” distributed in Canadian classrooms.
“These ideologies erode family authority and integrity, and pose a threat to the stability and security of our society,” said Dr. Anne Gillies. “We are calling on Sept. 20 for parents across Canada to stand up, to stand out, to stand firm, and to speak out.”
Last year’s march attracted criticism and condemnation, and garnered accusations that Hands off out Kids was a hate group.
