QUEBEC, August 31, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) - Quebec’s Ministry of Education is rolling out a new pilot program for mandatory sex education this year that teaches 5-year-old children about male and female genitalia, how conception happens, and “different types of families.”
The Ministry is refusing to allow parents to opt children out.
“For the moment, no exemptions are planned,” Ministry of Education spokesperson Pascal Ouellet told The Canadian Press.
An information pamphlet created by the Ministry for parents details what the Ministry considers “appropriate” material for children based on “age and level of development.” But what the government thinks is appropriate might have parents, especially those from a religious or ethnic background, fuming.
By the time the children have gone through elementary school (ages 6-11), they will have:
By the time the children reach secondary school (ages 12-17), the ministry expects that they will have had their “first romantic relationships” and would have “explore[d] different aspects of sexual behaviour.”
By the end of this cycle, the children will have learned to:
Monic Tremblay of the Quebec organization Parent Alerte called the program “dangerous”, because it teaches children how to engage in various sexual practices well before they are ready.
“Will this actually protect children from sexual aggressors, as the curriculum claims, or will it turn children into sexual aggressors?” she said in a statement to LifeSiteNews.
Tremblay said that, by “sexualizing” children and teaching them how to “consent” to sexual practices, the program will have the effect of making children available to an adult sexual predators.
“We must protect children and refuse to allow them to be hyper-sexualized,” she said.
Marie Bourque, vice-president of the Catholic Parents Association, told LifeSiteNews that parents should be concerned about the government stepping in to teach their children about sexual morality, especially when it has stated that parents will not be able to withdraw their children from the course.
“No teachings dispensed by the state should contradict parental values, or be dispensed against their parental right,” she said.
The Ministry has stated that the children will receive five to 15 hours of sex ed each year “through the various school subjects and activities,” not through a dedicated program in a specific class.
While the ministry expects currently hired school staff to teach the content of the program, it is allowing teachers to bring in expertise from the health and social services system, community organizations, and “specialist” teachers.
Pro-abortion and homosexual organizations often volunteer to fulfill such roles.
The Ministry seems to downplay parents’ role in directing their children in matters of sexuality. The sex-ed pamphlet says that parents play a “key role” in education their children about sexuality.
Ultimately, the Ministry’s position is that both the school and the family play “complementary roles” in sexual education.
The pilot program will be implemented in 15 schools and run from kindergarten through high school run two years. It is expected to affect 8,200 students.
If deemed successful by the Ministry, the program will become “compulsory in all Québec schools” starting in September 2017.
The mandatory program comes seven years after the province’s government instituted a mandatory “secular” and allegedly “neutral” Ethics and Religious Culture course (ERC), which critics say promotes moral relativism by treating all religions as of equal merit and indoctrinates children into homosexual ideology by teaching “diverse” family structures of two men or two women.
Ontario Tory MPP Monte McNaughton, who ran for leadership of the party on a platform that included scrapping Premier Wynne’s controversial sex-ed curriculum update, said Quebec’s government has turned into a “dictatorship” that is taking religious freedoms away from people while forcing them to comply to “government values.”
“Parents know what’s best for their kids, not any government, or the state, or any politician,” he told LifeSiteNews. “I think this is forcing values on families and it’s not right. It’s up for moms and dads to decide what’s best for their families.”
McNaughton said Quebec is setting an example that he fears the rest of the country may eventually follow.
“We’ve not seen anything like this in the country. Quebec is leading the way, and I don’t think Ontario under Kathleen Wynne is going to be far behind,” he said.
And, like a pandemic, it will soon arrive in the United States.

There's no opt-out on this program.
“And, like a pandemic, it will soon arrive in the United States.”
I haven’t forgotten the old pervert (Joycelyn Elders) who was Surgeon General under Clinton advocating exactly this. It is already embedded into the sick-o left’s agenda.
What possible reason is there to teach five year olds about masturbation??? How did the demented minds which think up these things get to be in charge of schools????
Until Christians get off their complacency and yank their children out of schools run by ungodly bureaucrats who are working with Satan. teaching the next generation to tolerate evil, the destruction of their nations will proceed apace.
Quebec is one big stinking, corrupt, grim, miserable francophone craphole. The only industry it has left is porn manufacturing. They need to brainwash kids in order to raise a new generation of actors to replace the ones that are dropping from AIDS. Quebec needs to be towed out into the Atlantic and sunk.
If one cannot fight then one must take what these people dish out.
Elect liberals, degeneracy of all sorts follows.
In the Webster sense of "ministry":
1. the service, functions, or profession of a minister of religion.
2. the body or class of ministers of religion; clergy.
Yes, this government organization is in the biz of doling out the leftist religion of statism and leftism.
The end result of what Pierre Eliott Trudeau set out to do in the 1950’s.
Are you REALLY going to elect his son, Canada??
How are those chains weighing these days?
I think I will die a violent death because my children are not wards of the state. They will never be.
Public schools = Child abuse!!
If you cannot afford private schooling you can’t afford to have kids.
I wonder which of their pedophile homonazis was able to pull this off. Completely wrong time of their life to teach them something they don’r want to know unless you are setting the pins in place...
Just when you get them to quit playing with that thing...
“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.”
All liberals are obsessed with sexual deviancy. What a bunch of freaks.
And she was a piker compared to the people Mitt Romney put in charge of Massachusetts schools.
Ah yes, Joycelyn Elders, of "everybody's gotta die of something" fame.
French Quebec will undoubtedly use the “show and tell” teaching technique.
