A school board in Ottawa is facing a complaint from a couple upset that the school's gender identity curriculum confused their daughter.
, Pamela and Jason Buffone filed their complaint after their 6-year-old daughter was given a lesson on gender identity that left her confused.
According to the Buffones, teacher Janine Blouin was appointed to their daughter's first grade class in January. She quickly added"all kinds of social justice topics" to the curriculum. The Buffones' daughter placed herself all the way to the end of the"girl" side, at which point the complaint alleges Blouin told her"girls are not real, and boys are not real."
The lesson also included a video from educational group Queer Kids Stuff, which produces material explaining and exploring gender and sexuality topics in language that elementary school children can understand.
