Some Ontario parents are putting their kids “on strike” on Monday, keeping them home from school to protest against sex education material in Ontario’s 2015 health and physical education curriculum.
Toronto District School Board spokeswoman Shari Schwartz-Maltz said schools across the city have been notified that parents are planning to keep their kids home over dissatisfaction with the new health curriculum for Grades 1-8.
Many parents, she said, are sending form letters to teachers or principals to explain their children’s absences, but others are simply calling schools.
The group Ontario Parents and Students Strike put a notification letter online for parents to send to schools. The group also operates a Facebook page, “Parents & students on strike: one week no school,” which has more than 7,500 likes. (more...)
