(LifeSiteNews) — An Ottawa elementary school was missing 80 percent of its students during its scheduled “Pride” flag raising ceremony earlier this month, a local pro-family activist has said.
Speaking to LifeSiteNews, Muslim pro-family activist Kamel El-Cheikh said that on June 4, teachers and staff at Michaelle Jean Elementary School in Ottawa, Ontario were baffled when 591 out of 738 students (80 percent) were missing from the school’s LGBT “Pride” flag raising ceremony. The reported absences coincided with Campaign Life Coalition’s 2nd annual National ‘Pride’ Flag Walk-Out Day.
In response to the mass absence, El-Cheikh, who said he visited the school to encourage parents and students in their resistance to LGBT ideology, attested that the school principal, Tania Bergeron, and a grade five teacher by the name of Martine, were attempting to punish parents whose children did not attend the “Pride” flag ceremony.
Upon his arrival at the school, El-Cheikh said parents quickly told him that the two staff members were passing around a document for parents to sign to punish those who refused to partake in the “Pride” flag ceremony.
“Both need to be held accountable in the future,” El-Cheikh said, condemning the school staff for “belittling and demonizing parents.”
