Christians, Jews, Muslims and Hindus marched together across Canada to protest against the gender ideology agenda pushed in schools.

The #1MillionMarchforChildren took place across Canada on Friday. The event is in its second year attracting many people in each city,

who are opposed to gender ideology in the classroom and dedicated to preserving the rights of parents to know what their kids learn at school.

The organiser of the march and the head of Hands Off Our Children umbrella organisation is Kamel El-Cheikh, an Ottawa businessman and parental rights activist who has managed to keep his interfaith coalition of Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus and Sikhs together despite foreign war distractions.

„I have always described this event as a marathon and not a sprint,” El-Cheikh told The Post Millennial.

„We are in this for the long haul, for the children, for the parents and this will continue to be an annual event and not a one-shot thing,”

he highlighted.

Dr Annel Gillies, author, pastor, and trauma specialist participated in the event as a speaker. The march is all about „protecting our children from irrational ideologies and the sexualisation of children that’s happening in our education system and the LGBTQ extremist activists who are pushing an agenda that is damaging the lives of our children, both physically, if they decide to transition – as it’s called – but also mentally,” she told The Post Millennial. She went on to point out:

„We are creating the greatest mental health crisis in Canada that we’ve ever seen. Cell phones can be attributed to that too, but immensely confusing our children about their sex, their biological sex, and confusing them with the ideas that they can actually become the opposite sex is debilitating.”

Jack Fonseca, the director of political operations for Campaign Life Coalition, Canada’s largest pro-life group, said it is important to further strengthen this growing movement.

„We’ve got the momentum here. There are an increasing number of families and regular Canadians that are realizing what the heck is happening in my child’s class – they’re not learning reading, writing and arithmetic. They are learning gender ideology. They’re learning about the homosexual lifestyle. It’s happening in every grade. It’s having it happening in every subject,”

he said.

In Canada, more and more people are fed up with the forceful promotion of gender ideology, and some provincial governments are already trying to push back against the agenda. Last February, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced that teenagers under 17 would no longer be able to access sex change operations and those under 15 would be banned from being prescribed puberty blockers, The Post Millennial recalled.
