Why Should We Repeal Ontario's Sex-Ed Program?

In 2010 the government introduced a sexual education curriculum that had to be withdrawn due to outcry over its graphic nature.  Parents objected to content including masturbation for grade 6, anal and oral sex in grade 7, and making a personal plan for sex and the introduction of gender identity theory in grade 8.  

When Progressive Conservative Doug Ford ran to become Premier of Ontario, he included repealing the sex-ed curriculum however after being elected he did not.

Since the release of the 2015 sex-ed curriculum, concerned parents have waged an ongoing battle against the agenda to undermine parental rights and indoctrinate children with inappropriate sex-ed content.

Parents opposed the curriculum because it:

-sexualizes young people

-interferes with the rights of parents to direct their children's education

-is causing psychological and social harm

No to gender identity theory in Ontario schools!

Gender identity theory normalizes the ideas that there are more than two genders, that gender is not attached to biology, and that transgenderism is but one of many natural variations.  It is this theory that underlies school policies that refer to gender identity.

In addition to negative psychological and physical outcomes for the transgendered, gender identity theory can lead to psychological distress among students in schools.

Gender identity theory is being taught in classes outside of health class also. Moreover, students are being indoctrinated with gender identity theory through school events such as school assemblies, health fairs, and library readings. 

Parents can demand notification and opt-out from:

-high-school sex-ed, not just elementary

-all gender identity instruction whenever, wherever taught in school

-all school events that teach gender identity theory 

Ban Critical Race Theory teaching in schools!

“Critical Race Theory” is a radical academic movement that teaches children to evaluate themselves, each other, and all aspects of life, solely according to racial identity. 

Critical race theory aims at the promotion of racial equity, or equality of outcome between White and non-White people.

At the provincial level in Ontario, anti-racism strategies have been pushed into policy and curriculum since 2008 "Equity and Inclusive Education" policy promotes diversity and inclusion in schools.

This concept of “equity”, based on a false premise that people consistently oppress others based on the colour of their skin or gender, has dire effects on people of all races. It both strips White students and staff of dignity (some parents report that their children are now coming home from school and saying that they hate themselves because of their race or sex), while victimizing Black and non-White people, who are seen as “vulnerable” people because of the colour of their skin.
