TORONTO, March 6, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- The man tasked with managing the office and activities of the Assembly of Catholic Bishops of Ontario (ACBO) is a partisan Liberal who has been tweeting his support for the Wynne government’s controversial sex-ed program. At the same time, he has strongly criticized outspoken Tory politician Monte McNaughton for joining his voice with that of parents who are outraged at what the ‘sexperts’ say their kids should learn.

The curriculum that Roger Lawler, the ACBO’s general secretary since September 2014, has been defending teaches about anal and oral sex, masturbation, and contraception in grades 6 and 7, and begins discussing homosexual family structures in grade 3. Two Catholic psychiatrists told LifeSiteNews this week that they believe the program is “sexual abuse” because it sexualizes children prematurely.

On February 23, and again three days later, Lawler retweeted a tweet by OECTA President James Ryan stating: “Catholic Teachers welcome a new Health & Phys Ed. Curriculum which will give students the knowledge they need to be safe.”

On February 24, he retweeted a tweet stating: “Media call it the correct name: Health & Physical Ed. Curriculum. Way more than just 'sex.’”  (more...)

Monty McNaughton interview on Power & Politics. Pathetic. Tories do it to themselves again. Another Liberal election next time around.
