Doug Ford promised to repeal and replace Kathleen Wynne’s sex-ed curriculum during his PC Party leadership campaign, General Election campaign, and in his July 2019 Speech to the Throne. Unfortunately, Doug Ford has failed to keep his promise to Ontarians of repealing and replacing the Wynne sex-ed. This past March, Ford’s Minister of Education, Lisa Thompson, along with her Parliamentary Assistant Sam Oosterhoff, announced that they will be keeping ALL of the Wynne sex-ed, including the unscientific gender identity theory. Moreover, teachers can teach any of it at any grade. We need to hold the Ford government to account. When PAFE’s petition is presented in the Ontario Legislature, it will form part of the Legislature’s official records. Future generations will see who and how many people fought to protect our children from the Wynne sex- ed by demanding that Ford keep his promise to fully repeal and replace the Wynne sex-ed. Please sign the petition to protect our children. WHAT ARE SOME EFFECTIVE WAYS TO FIND PEOPLE TO SIGN THIS PETITION? At your of worship. Your neighbours, family, and friends. At backyard barbecues. Ask people at places you normally go to, like at soccer practice, or coffee shops. If you have a friend with a family, be sure everyone in the household signs – as long as they live in Ontario. MAY I SEND THE SIGNED PETITION FORMS TO PAFE BY EMAIL OR FAX? NO. We can only accept the forms that have original signatures (black or blue ink) because that is the only format that the Ontario Legislature will accept. Please mail your petition forms to: PAFE, 2336 Bloor St. West PO Box 84556 Toronto, ON M6S 4Z7 WHO CAN SIGN THE PETITION FORM FOR IT TO BE VALID? Anyone who lives in Ontario can sign the form. You do not need to be a Canadian Citizen. Even children can sign the form, as long as they can fill in their own name, address, and their own signature. HOW MANY SIGNATURES WOULD PAFE LIKE TO PRESENT TO THE ONTARIO LEGISLATURE? As many as possible. So please do your best to collect signatures..
