| I did not write that curriculum |
“It’s just totally off-base and, quite frankly, disgusting,” Sandals said Monday.
Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant, who represents the riding of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, urged Prime Minister Stephen Harper to order the withdrawal of the “outrageous” new Health and Physical Education curriculum in a statement made in the federal legislature.
Gallant said the curriculum was written by someone charged with making and distributing child pornography and counselling to commit an indictable offence.
Former deputy education minister Ben Levin is in court Tuesday on those charges.
“As a hand-picked provincial Liberal deputy minister, this powerful party insider was caught only after an international online probe,” Gallant said. “If withdrawal of this Liberal policy can prevent one child from being groomed for exploitation, it really must be withdrawn.”
Several groups have expressed concerns about Levin’s role at the helm of the ministry when the new sex education curriculum was developed.
Parents speaking at a recent Queen’s Park protest over the curriculum said children will be exposed to age-inappropriate information, sexualizing them at an earlier age so that they are more vulnerable to predators. (more...)
