Faith, children and parental responsibility

Who is forming the next generation?

The question

Children are shaped by what adults teach, normalize, reward, and leave unchallenged. Toronto must ask who has primary responsibility for that formation and whether parents can clearly know what their children are being taught.

The principle

David’s Christian conviction is that truth is real, parents carry a primary responsibility for their children, and young people need moral formation, discipline, family, purpose, prayer, and trustworthy mentors.

The public consequence

Even people who do not share David’s faith have a stake in transparent schools, honest communication with parents, age-appropriate teaching, strong families, and young people who can build lives of responsibility and purpose.

David’s position

David advocates removing sexual ideology from schools and defends parents’ right to know what their children are being taught.

He supports biblical values, morality, truth, prayer, and faith-based mentorship, and calls for churches and community organizations to mentor young people.

Practical response

David can teach and advocate publicly. Parents can ask clear questions and remain involved. Churches can provide safe, accountable mentorship. Community organizations can create disciplined spaces where young people are known, challenged, and supported.

A generation needs truth, discipline, family, and purpose—not confusion.
