.... He insisted the new curriculum applied to "all students in publicly funded schools, including Catholic schools."
His education minister, Leona Dombrowsky, also said the Catholic Church supported the new curriculum.
But Catholic officials made it clear they were not prepared to implement any of the more controversial elements, including talk of homosexuality and masturbation in Grades 3 and 6 respectively.....
"Talking about homosexuality and masturbation to primary children is hardly age appropriate," Sister Joan said.
"Certainly it's not in the Catholic community. I'm not judging for other people.
"The Church disapproves of masturbation on any level," she said.
Homosexual acts are viewed as "disordered," according to Catholic teaching.....
Within 54 hours, Mr. Mc-Guinty reversed course.
"[Parents] are obviously not comfortable with the proposal that we put forward," he said on Thursday. "So we're going to improve on that."
He said more consultation would be conducted in various communities across the province. There is no timetable for those consultations, however, and no guarantee the new curriculum will come back into effect at all....

Read the whole article for all the details - i can only excerpt some of it - but one point that emerges is that it was a true grass-roots campaign by determined Christian groups that alerted the public and brought this nonsense to a stop.
The power of the Internet and unintimidated ordinary people must never be underestimated!
Would be interested in hearing from some of you Ontario residents about this, and the feeling in the community there.
As homosexuality is made the new “normal”, reproductive education moves beyond “hormones”, “hygiene”, and “having babies” to sexual positions for sodomites who are unable to engage in sexual intercourse (defined as male-female complmimentary genitalia coupling) and proper cleaning of sex toys.
NONE of that falls under the scope of schooled education.
Ruth Westheimer had a text on advising teens how to engage in oral sex. None of this is new. But having the State push it is.
Which is why they so desperately want to tax and control it!
Truer words have not been said, I thought a woody was an inconvenience with the tight hand me down pants I had to wear.
The power of the Internet and unintimidated ordinary people must never be underestimated!”
I predict that people who will keep their voting registration and support the TEA Party are capable of some of this pushback.
It's not just inappropriate, it's SICK. It is an assault on the psyche and moral autonomy of the most vulnerable among us -- children.
I am not coming from a prudish standpoint either. I am not Catholic or formally religious, yet I object to the State taking over personal matters. Especially when they graduate students who can't find their country on a map of the world, can't read a serious book, can't keep a bank book or make a budget, etc. But they will know how to engage in every sexual perversion, courtesy of the State-run Indoctrination Centers known as 'public skools'.
Forced public schooling is the greatest weapon in the hands of liberals/radicals for turning the entire population into a homogeneous mash of perverted ingoramuses.
I hear home schooling is outlawed in England now.
No fooling!
When you see the perspective they are coming from, you understand why they are so much against abstinence.
We are happy this stupid idea was canceled. Explaining genitalia in grade 1, and homosexuality in grade 3 was unpalatable.
