Wynne Liberals spend $1.8 million on ‘deceptive’ ads whitewashing sex-ed

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne with Education Minister Liz Sandals.

TORONTO, June 5, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) -- The Ontario Liberal government has launched a $1.8 million ad campaign claiming to inform people about the revised sex-ed curriculum set to be rolled out this fall, but pro-family advocates say it’s actually a whitewash of a controversial program opposed by thousands of parents.

The ads, produced by ZenithOptimedia, are currently airing on radio and are scheduled to run through the summer. The Ministry of Education did not make details of the campaign available to LifeSiteNews, and ZenithOptimedia was not able to comment.

Nilani Nogeswaran, spokesperson for Minister of Education Liz Sandals, said the ad campaign was not a response to the controversy surrounding the sex-ed curriculum.

“We do public awareness campaigns all the time on different things, just like any government,” she told LifeSiteNews, pointing to such precedents as the campaign to let parents know about childcare options. “It’s about informing them to ask the right questions and what are the options and things available for them.”  (more...)
