#896 - Matt Alexander
from Shaun Newman Podcast · host Shaun Newman
Matt Alexander, a former teacher in Ontario, Canada, was employed by the Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) for over 20 years, teaching grades 7 and 8. In 2023, he was suspended and later terminated, allegedly for not supporting or celebrating LGBTQ+ initiatives, despite having no public social media presence and an unblemished disciplinary record. His troubles began after his son, Josh Alexander, publicly opposed his school’s policy on transgender students using girls’ washrooms. Matt, a devout Christian, pastor, and army reserve veteran, faced financial devastation, including the loss of his family home and pension, forcing him to retrain for a new career. He and his wife, Nicole Alexander, also a teacher who faced similar consequences, have filed a human rights complaint against the RCDSB for religious discrimination and a labor complaint against their union for failing to defend their Charter-protected freedoms.To watch the Full Cornerstone Forum: https://open.substack.com/pub/shaunnewmanpodcastGet your voice heard: Text Shaun 587-217-8500Silver Gold Bull Links:Website: https://silvergoldbull.ca/Email: [email protected] Grahame: (587) 441-9100Bow Valley Credit UnionBitcoin: www.bowvalleycu.com/en/personal/investing-wealth/bitcoin-gatewayEmail: [email protected] Use the code “SNP” on all ordersProphet River Links:Website: store.prophetriver.com/Email: [email protected] Money SummitWebsite: ExpatMoneySummit.com
