See this is why I distrust the Progressive defining of terms. They have problems with language. Disagreeing with you doesn't mean I'm not serious.

But, here's some more critique of the curriculum. This time it's from a Muslim school. They flat out say they won't teach the curriculum. They must be right, cause you know...Muslims. Muslims are always right because not all Muslims are the same or something like that.

Anyway...

You don’t have to be extremely religious or conservative to see how preposterous the public school sex ed curriculum is. Imagine your six year old sitting in the classroom learning about the anatomical names of sexual organs. Or your 8 year old is being taught to believe that homosexual family structure is normal without any regard to what you believe. And what about when your 9 year old boy is taught that it’s okay if he chooses to be a little girl instead and your 9 year old daughter is taught that friendships can change into romantic relationships. This is not exaggerated at all as the curriculum has been revealed and is available on the Ontario Ministry of Education’s page (to save your time and energy, images from the curriculum are inserted below) and it gets even worse for children age 10 and older.

Haadi school can provide your child an environment that is safe and healthy for young minds. Where the staff shares the same morals and values you have at home. Our subject-focused curriculum will make your child excel in English, Science, Math etc. We can still teach children about health and physical education, Internet safety and how to stand up against bullying without sexualizing anything.

Send your kids to a madrass. Problem solved!

Question for Fifey, Zip, and Sandy.

There should be a referendum on this sex ed agenda before it's approved.

Yes?

No?

Problem. You know you'd lose, right?

I don't think there should be a referendum. It's kind of a minor thing to go to all that bother about. However, it could be an election issue for your school board, or for the provincial leadership.

I don't think I could lose, but I don't give a crap either way. I just think, having read through the curriculum, it's ludicrous to suppose that its a grooming thing. It looks fairly straightforward to me. Mind you, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, so we'll have to see.

It's school. It's full of politically correct crap, and I let me kids know that. I asked my kids what they were learning about sex ed yesterday and just got giggling and ridiculous answers so who knows. Something about smooshing your private parts together and then you get a baby.

Was there something in this post I was supposed to comment on?

Truthfully I don't much care, but if you have to have something...

So far we've only heard from you about how you would like your granddaughter to, for example, [create a personal plan to influence decisions they may choose to make as twelve year olds about sexual activity.]

But what about the majority of people who are not informed (I would say blinded) by Progressive group-think? Take the Muslim school for example. You back their right to oppose this, right?

I back anyone's right to do what they consider important (of course I mean within limits.). The school you point out can do what they wish in this case. They (and this is where education comes in) need to understand the consequences of not teaching the curriculum. If you don't, ya ain't a school. Now, I don't know about Ontario, but in Saskatchewan a school was allowed to "go rogue" on about 20% of the required work. I suspect Ontario has a similar thing going and they will get a pass.

Then why use her as an example? The problem with the "personal plan for sexual activity" is it's for 12 and 13 year olds.

Darn it. Then I guess I can't talk you into signing this petition.

Call a referendum on the implementation of the 2015 Sex Education Curriculum for the Province of Ontario

I don't know if you guys remember these grades. But by grade 6, none of these things need to be "introduced"

Question to NFD: should there be a referendum on having Ezra tried for treason? As he worked all those years for someone trying to destroy Canada. Perhaps they were "grooming" Canadians for separation .

Seriously though, regarding your question, no, no vote on individual items like curricula.

There aren't a lot of polls out there yet, but the Red Star has one using just under 1000 respondents that says half are for it.

On the other hand the right leaning Toronto Sun polled over 6000 of its readers and 84% thought the new sex ed curriculum was not age appropriate.

I might have to go to Toronto and sign up. I don't know what "Gender Fluidity" is either.

Gosh, how did I manage to live so long?

$1:

Gender Fluidity: Gender fluidity conveys a wider, more flexible range of gender expression, with interests and behaviors that may even change from day to day. Gender fluid people do not feel confined by restrictive boundaries of stereotypical expectations of women and men. For some people, gender fluidity extends beyond behavior and interests, and actually serves to specifically define their gender identity. In other words, a person may feel they are more female on some days and more male on others, or possibly feel that neither term describes them accurately. Their identity is seen as being gender fluid.
