Worth pointing out that the reason schools talk about LGBTQ issues in the first place is that some of the students and their classmates are themselves LGBTQ - this isn't just a distant political issue that can be ignored until students are adults. How is Poilievre imagining schools should respond if say a transgender child is getting bullied by their classmates? "Ask your parents if it's okay to bully them"?
I grew up in a Christian school / environment that completely ignored LGBTQ issues. Knowing I was different in some way and not having a word for it, and not knowing why my classmates weren't reciprocating my crushes (why wouldn't other guys want an exclusive super best-friend of the same gender...) was hugely damaging for me. Schools have a responsibility to help all kids thrive, and you can't do that if you don't educate kids about the very things affecting them and their classmates.
