MPP Vernile does a sex-ed hat dance

Feminism's new face

WATERLOO REGION — Nazih Malki says he may pull his four children out of public school if the Liberal government refuses changes to new sex education teachings.

"What they are proposing is going to break the public school system," he said. "We're already working on a plan to pull them out."

Government MPP Daiene Vernile hopes children will stay in public school. But she's not backing away from sex education she supports and wants implemented.

Opponents "don't have to have their children in the classroom on the days that this information is being taught."

Malki, a Muslim parent, joined with sex-ed opponents of other faiths to meet recently with Vernile.
