The release by the Ontario government of the Health and Physical Education, Grades 1-8, document that contains the radical sex education curriculum has been marked with much controversy, division and parental revolt. The number of parental protests and rallies across the province is unprecedented in Ontario education history. Parents are upset because they have not been consulted neither at the ballot box nor through their school boards. The new curriculum that updates the 1998 curriculum has been designed and issued by the Ministry of Education. There was no debate in the legislative assembly about it. Parents should keep in mind that while the Liberal government has denied it the entire document is suspect and should be carefully scrutinized because the convicted child predator Benjamin Levin had a hand in developing its contents.
What we hope to do with this parental guide is to put in the hands of parents the sex education content of the 240 page document by Grade levels in order to help them navigate the topics and make it easier to make informed decision when it comes to the safety and health of their children. (more...)
