Educators battle false information as sex-ed opposition grows
"TORONTO — Ontario educators are scrambling to combat confusion and false information among critics of the province's new sex-education curriculum — including claims it offers how-to lessons on masturbation, homosexuality and anal sex.
...
McDougald will ask trustees Tuesday to send an open letter to Queen's Park asking for help to debunk the myths around the new lessons — like explaining that masturbation is not a topic that must be taught, but rather is a subject on which teachers have been given tips on how to respond if any student happens to bring it up.
...
Some 5,000 parents, largely in the GTA, have joined a Facebook group calling for a boycott of classes May 4 to 10 to express opposition to the curriculum.
Peel mother Firani Siddiqui will keep her two younger children home to protest the curriculum she said breaches her right to decide when her children learn sensitive sexual information.
"I don't want teachers to tell my children that masturbation is a healthy thing — it's a no no; maybe I don't want her to think it's a healthy practice," said Siddiqui, who said she is not anti-gay, but simply believes the new curriculum gets too explicit too early. "I don't want a stranger telling my kids about oral and anal sex." "
Masturbation at least IS a healthy practice. Among other things it reduces the chance of certain cancers.
