![]() ![]() The offices of CUPE Local 4186 on Clarke Road and CUPE Local 7575 on Brydges Street also were hit. One of the stickers reads: Keep your hands off our kids and a second says: Keep gender politics out of schools, said Henry, whose union local represents custodians, office and clerical staff and early childhood educators. “The stickers were all over everywhere on the front door, mail box, the light fixtures, the key pad area, the buzzer area,” she said. Mary Henry, president of CUPE Local 4222 that represents 1,600 employees of the Thames Valley District school board, said staff found stickers “everywhere” when they arrived Tuesday morning at the local’s office on Wharncliffe Road South. The union is calling on Premier Doug Ford and Education Minister Stephen Lecce “to denounce attacks on students’ right to education and to support the fundamental freedom of children not to be discriminated against.” “Tomorrow, frontline education workers will stand up to those who are spreading hate.” “The violence against property is intended to intimidate workers who are speaking out to protect children’s right to education in an environment that’s free from harassment,” Walton said in release from CUPE on Tuesday. The vow by Laura Walton, an educational assistant and president of CUPE’s Ontario school boards council of unions, sets the stage for possible confrontations at a event Wednesday called 1 Million March 4 Children that organizers say is a protest of what they call a push for LGBT ideology in schools.
