• arclein

An educational assistant in Saskatchewan has been fired for posting an article to a private Facebook group about parents keeping their kids home on June 1 in protest against Pride Month in schools. Leah Maier worked with Kindergarten to Grade 5 students at P.J. Gillen School, an elementary school in Esterhazy, for five years prior to her dismissal on June 12. The school is part of the Good Spirit School Division (GSSD). Maier lost her job over a post to the private Facebook group Sask Unified Neighbours, of which she is an administrator. She posted a Lifesite News article without comment, titled, "Canadian parents urged to keep children home from school on June 1 to protest 'Pride Month.'"
