This is the same activist exposed in the viral Project Veritas video ... and this is not the first time Guilford has been in the news over gender ideology!

Guilford Public Schools is under fire after it was discovered that transgender activist Tony Ferraiolo, who was just exposed in a viral video for secretly steering children towards gender transitions without parental knowledge or consent, had actually been hired to conduct Transgender Sensitivity Training at both Adams Middle School and Cox Elementary School.

The district used funding from Connecticut's American Rescue Plan (ARP) Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III) award to cover the $2,000 bill.

In addition to Guilford Public Schools, Ferraiolo has also appeared before the Guilford Human Rights Commission to push programming for transgender youth.

After getting exposed in the Project Veritas video, Ferraiolo's website was quickly taken down for "scheduled maintenance" ... but fortunately the Wayback Machine had been cataloguing the website since 2012.

Ferraiolo had pitched training sessions for "Transgender Students" to indoctrinate teachers into using transgender pronouns, and into believing that biological boys should be able to use the same bathrooms as biological girls and vice-versa, for instance.

The page listed "just a few" of the trainings Ferraiolo had done -- note that Guilford didn't make the sample list:

What makes this discovery so much more troubling is the fact that Guilford has been in the news A LOT over the last few years, specifically with respect to gender ideology and DEI.

Here are some examples:

  • Pride is regularly shoved into students' faces, even in the school cafeteria;
  • Students have been surveyed about their pronouns;
  • Students were shown a disturbing anti-police / CRT video that promoted the sentiment, "Black Trans Lives Matter," with the Marxist fist;
  • The high school prom featured two prom "kings" but no "queen" one year;
  • There was a suicide attempt that happened in school during school hours that some parents felt had been potentially linked to the district's focus on DEI and gender ideology;
  • School Superintendent Paul Freeman was accused of "illegally and precipitously engineering DEI and ESJA curriculum changes in K-12 that far exceeded what the state recommended"; and
  • The Guilford Board of Finance Chairman recently admitted that there is "no way you can isolate DEI … it is embedded in everything that we do” in Guilford Public Schools".

Perhaps the biggest story, though, was about a former Guilford police officer, William Maisano, who got arrested and was facing five years in jail for saying "there is going to be hell to pay" over a teacher whom he alleged was planning to "hijack graduation" with her haircut that featured a pride rainbow.

Maisano immediately let the principal know that "hell to pay" meant only media exposure. The case was closed that day. Then two days later, a new case was opened. A judge declined to charge Maisano with threatening but, over a year later, and just days before his trial for the Breach of Peace charge, a state prosecutor upped the charge to felony threatening. 

He eventually had his sentence commuted and reduced to two years probation.

Meanwhile, the focus on gender ideology at Guilford's High School graduation still remains, and during the singing of the national anthem, attendees turned to see not just the American flag, but also the transgender pride flag flying on the pole on the Guilford Green.

Not only is this gender and DEI crap unconstitutional for it's discrimination and indoctrination of students into a bias political ideology that government employees are barred from engaging in at the work place during work hours, it's also evil and grooming kids into activism and not education. I hope the Secretary of DOE is aware as well as the DOJ so they investigate.
