TORONTO - Ontario's Catholic schools can't opt out of a revamped sex ed curriculum even if it goes against their religious beliefs to teach kids about masturbation and homosexuality, Premier Dalton McGuinty said Wednesday.


Several conservative and religious groups claim the changes coming this fall will corrupt young minds with "explicit" topics like anal sex. But Ontario's Catholic premier made it clear that all public schools must teach the lessons that will start as early as age six.


"They're part of the publicly funded school system here in Ontario and this is part of our curriculum," McGuinty said.


"If parents are uncomfortable with certain aspects of this new curriculum, they can and they are free to withdraw their children from the classroom."


....

Just in case you think government funded vouchers are the answer

Catholic schools in Ontario are public schools. Vouchers wouldn't matter.

I'd love to see how NEONE from over at CU would twist this one.

That is sick to teach that to babies

UPDATE:
Sex-ed backlash inhibits McGuinty
New curriculum needs a 'rethink,' Premier says


Just days after defending a new sex education program that would include mention of homosexuality in Grade 3 and anal intercourse in Grade 7, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty has backed down in the face of a public backlash.

Mr. McGuinty said the government failed in its job consulting on and communicating the new plan to parents.

"I think for most parents it came out of nowhere," he said.

"We spent a good 24, 48 hours listening to parents and caucus -- and parents through our caucus -- and it's become pretty obvious we should give this a serious rethink."

Although the curriculum was released in January, it didn't receive any public notice until this week, when a Christian conservative banner group heard of the changes and planned a protest in response

Needs a rethink....you think....apparently not.

Must've had a million perverts offer to help out in the schools.

Well Johnny, what do you expect.?

When you need to go a hunting, one goes where the game is.

I'd always heard them Canucks were a little slo 'eh?   

They really are quite a lot up there presenting quite a spectacle of themselves when they head south to Old Orchard Beach for their summer fun. 


For the very bored or easily amused I offer this link: Why is Canada's population so low compared to its size?


The link takes you to another forum which discusses the population and size of our neighbor to the north ( and in some cases south)

If I recall, masturbation is a sin. That flies in the face of what the Bible says. This is why the Churches are losing so much credibility.

Dang. I forgot I'm a prude. Those kids should be having orgies AT school, that'll learn'em

[SilverOrchid]

Whatever happened to learning ABCs, cutting out shapes, playing nice and story time? I hate what liberals are doing to schools. Not even the innocence of kindergarten is safe.

The article is about schools in Canada, where Catholic schools receive government money, so they must follow the dictates of the public school system.....not the church.

Why does this cause bile from my stomach to rise into my throat.?

TEACH a child how to pleasure themselves, insane, no human has ever had to be taught what feels good and what doesn't.

A sharp stick in the eye hurts, washing their butt feels good. We need to teach them this--.??

Hardly, we are not Canaries that need to be taught to sing.
