The Progressive Conservative government is keeping its promise to “replace the entirety of Ontario’s [2015] sex ed curriculum with an age- appropriate one that is based on real consultation with parents.” As students went back to school this week, parents and teachers alike were wondering what the year would bring. The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario has been outspoken this week against the change and a so-called snitch line, a reporting tool for anyone who wants to report a teacher using too many anatomical names. Names of reproductive body parts, conversations about consent, gender identity, masturbation and what happens during puberty are included in what’s ending up on the cutting room floor as elementary school teachers are instructed to stick to an interim curriculum while a public consultation exercise is underway to try to figure out where to go from here. The government is promising a thorough end-to- end consultation with parents over the coming months. Preparations are already underway with consultations scheduled to begin this fall. The problem is that there was consultation during Mary Kirk Presbyterian Church, New Lowell, burned down in 1909 (Submitted by Marie Kidd). the creation of the new sex ed curriculum.
