An LGBT agenda had become prevalent in Edmonton before pro-family members voted in new pro-Christian and family board members.

"The vote was Tuesday evening and—our side won! Our endorsed candidates were elected, and a few other important votes were also successful for our side," Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) director of political operations Jack Fonseca said in an email to its supporters Thursday.

Edmonton Christian Schools (ESC) held its annual general meeting on Tuesday and voted for three new members of the board of directors. The ESC schools are run by the Edmonton Society for Christian Education (ESCE), a non-profit organization. They operate two elementary schools, one high school and a preschool, and serve approximately 1,600 students.

CLC noted in its email that "The LGBT-creep has been present in the schools, from blasphemous cartoon images of Jesus 'celebrating' homosexual 'pride' to books about boys turning into girls."

"The non-profit society that runs Edmonton Christian Schools, a network of charter schools that had provided a solid Biblical environment for many years until recent infiltration by the LGBT agenda," Fonseca said in the email.

"Once we heard about what was going on, we put the call out to our supporters, asking them to take out memberships and vote for three God-fearing individuals who wanted to be on the board of directors."

CLC had warned before the meeting in a call to action that after years of a "distinctly Christian education program for Christian families that is shaped by faith and rooted in Scripture," things began to change in recent years.

According to CLC, "Transgender and homosexual propaganda materials" began to "creep" into classrooms, including "blasphemous images" depicting Jesus as pro-LGBT.

Insider shares details of what transpired, says he is 'confident' new board members will bring stability

LifeSiteNews spoke with a voting member of ESC who is very familiar with the Edmonton Christian Schools board.

The person, who asked to remain anonymous due to fear of reprisals from pro-LGBT activists, said while he does not know the new board members personally, "I would say the vote last night (Tuesday) helped relieve the pressure to change to a more 'inclusive' religious position."...
