 Ontario has announced plans to implement a controversial new sex-ed program in schools. Here is Gary Clement’s take:

Schools are supposed to be places of education, where knowlege of truth is shared.

Does the proposed curriculum include the truth that homosexual behaviour removes the choice to monogamously reproduce?

Does it explain that the removal of the choice to reproduce is logically less than equal to having the choice?

Does it acknowlege that it is a parents responsibility to help their children discriminate against lesser than equal behaviours?

This curriculum is the culmination of the liberal agenda.

They have realized that adults will no longer tolerate their lies and have chosen to lie to our children through the school system instead.

They have no demonstration of truth for their curriculum that tells our tiny children that they may be trans gendered, look like one sex on the outside but really be another on the inside. It is an opinion.

Who are they to make such an unsubstantiated claim to our children?

Does the curriculum include the fact that the American Psychiatric Association recognizes Gender Identity Disorder as a disorder to be treated by medical professionals?

The last time I protested at Queens Park it was against the Liberal inspired anti-democratic coalition.

This time I’ll be there to protest the liberal plan to lie (teach untruths) to our children in the school system.

It isn’t about mechanics.  

They are not going to show porn films to children.

Parents can opt their children out.

It seems their are many that don’t like it and want to impose their distaste on everyone else.

The province and schools would do well to provide booklets and information sessions to parents to ensure they have the most up-to-date, apolitical information on STDs (which are actually called something else now but I can’t remember what), birth control methods, techniques and statistics for efficacy and even information on safe execution of certain sexual acts so that parents have good information to share with their kids when they think their kids are ready for it and/or need to have it.  

The problem is parents only get an outline of what their kids are going to learn and if they’re not sure about whether it’s necessary and appropriate, the only thing they can do is remove their children.  

Parents might be uncomfortable with some aspects of sex ed because we don’t want to think about our children/adolescents as sexual beings, but I think we’re more uncomfortable with the political and social engineering motives and agendas that are (arguably to be sure) at the heart of some of the curricula.

Actually Mel, we don’t like Dalton’s GBLTG fun club being imposed on our eight year olds.

I don’t veiw a negative option as acceptable here.  

Once more the majority is being bent over for the ‘self-esteem’ of a minority.

I agree with you somewhat Rhino… it’s hard to find the right line between providing information and promoting something.  

It can be confusing and maybe even scary for a kid to have sexual feelings toward a member of the same sex, and it does happen.  A graduate of sleepaway camp that I know and trust completely told me that 8-10 year-old girls were routinely dry-humping each other in their bunk.  So there are thoughts, feelings and behaviors that need to be addressed and discussed, whether we like it or not.  The trick is figuring out how to do it without advocating exploration when they’re not emotionally, intellectually and psychologically equipped to do so or making them feel ashamed, embarrassed or frightened.

The highly (and inappropriately) sexualized culture in which our children are growing up are provoking and stimulating thoughts and feelings that are normal but that do not need to be acted upon if kids have the tools and guidance to know how to manage them.

I would want to know more about how the proposed curriculum is going to address the foregoing because I feel that’s where the emphasis needs to be, especially for younger kids and those just going into puberty.

So again, I suggest more of a partnership between parents and schools to provide these tools to our kids.  Sex ed as a community resource, if you will.

The program is flawed. Dalton digs himself further into his Liberal bunker.

I think one of the most offensive issues is that this curriculum promotes the normalicy and acceptability of fatherlessness.
