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.
The first changes to Ontario's curriculum in a dozen years will see students learning about masturbation in Grade 6 and oral and anal sex at age 12.
Opponents who are mounting a campaign to get rid of the program have described the curriculum as "evil" and "bordering on criminal." They say teaching eight-year-olds about gender identity and same-sex marriage is inappropriate and should be left up to parents.
But McGuinty - whose wife is a Catholic school teacher - said it's a responsible way to teach kids about sex in an age where it's easy to access information, whether it's from their friends or the Internet. He argues that by including it in the curriculum, the government has some control over the information and can present it in an appropriate way.
Under the changes that were quietly released in January, Grade 1 kids will be taught to identify genitalia - among other body parts - using the correct word, such as penis, vagina and testicle. The 1998 curriculum made no mention of genitalia.
Grade 3 lessons about the differences that make each person unique will now also include discussion about same-sex families and students with special needs to "reflect the government commitment to equity and inclusive education," according to provincial officials.

I seem to recall a field trip for one class of grade school students to a same sex wedding.
From what I understand, this campaign was initiated/funded by the Trojan condom company.
SOUNDS LIKE SOME KIDDY PORN LAWSUITS COMING FORTH...I KNOW I WOULD FILE ONE IF I WERE A PARENT LIVING THERE...
Look for more good schools to close their doors until this is reversed.
Resist or leave Canada. Those are the choices, sorry. God will judge compromise with evil.
What is the status of homeschooling in Canada? Anybody?
Homeschooling is very popular in Canada as are Private Christian Schools.

Thanks for the ping PAIC.
Clive runs the Canada ping list now, so I’ll forward this to him.
BTW, the latest news I read in the T. Star, was that McGuinty was going to wait before introducing this. If true, that’s good news.

Wagglebee, see the post above yours.
The Libs of Ontario are backing off.
The left NEVER backs down, they just wait until the attention is off of them.
You have a point there.
Like Islamic terrorists, they retreat, and then attack again later, when you least expect it.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Well, in my area we would be armed sheep and the ammo stores would do a good business afterward replenishing supplies. Oh I forgot, even rifles are hard to come by in Ontario.
With this kind of “Catholic” you don’t need an antichrist.
