Religious Idiots Against The New Sex Ed. Curriculum
- Thread starter twizz
- Start date
It's funny that my buddy is a teacher at a Catholic high school but what is taught is world religion, not how to be a good Catholic, AFAIK.
(Incidentally, a graduate from teachers college that is going into the separate school board system requires an approval letter from a Catholic priest to confirm that he or she is a regular church goer.)
Catholic schools will be teaching the new curriculum as well.
They don't get a pass.
Which I don't understand. Won't there be an issue if some of the curriculum which does teach about pleasure and masturbation go against the Bible's sin of 'spilling the seed'?
Can parents who have their kids in that situation not challenge the govt based on that?
I think this is not going to end well......

You are right that the function of the charter is not to regulate personal beliefs but as I said, it enshrines the states views about equality. If the state is of the opinion that homosexuals (which seems to be the sticking point) are equal, it is the duty of the education system to support that view.
And yes, it is a living document but do you think Canada will go back in time to remove those rights and criminalize homosexuality again?
i can understand the parents concern, but i dont think most parents have a clue what their kids are up to, not a freaking clue. kids are getting puberty earlier then before, have access to a myriad of communicatio tools (mobile, facebook,snapchat) and that means they need to be educate to the dangers of sexting (see the 20+ kids who have committed suicide due to slut-shaming in the past 2+ years) etc. these are real issues that kids need to be educated about.
NOTWITHSTANDING my complete distaste for the "anti-bullying" movement, which i think is completely overblown. I used to get my ass handed to me in public school and grew up to become tough as nails. but nevertheless, teaching your daughter that taking a selfie of her butt (at 12) is inappropriate and can lead to greater hardships down the road isnt the worst thing to teach a kid.
"Idiots against the new sex Ed Curriculum" I don't think the OP is arguing about who...
A state holds no opinions. People hold opinions.
The state has the right to teach that everyone covered by s. 15 of the Charter is entitled to equal treatment under the law, because that is a fact. Parents are entitled to hold their own personal views, whether based in religion or not, regarding whether it is "normal" or "right" to be gay, and to explain their point of view to their children without interference from the state. People who hold the opposite view do not have the right to present their view to other people's children by using the authority of the state' school system to do so. The school system does not exist as a battleground for political or personal ideology.
The state doesn't need to teach kids that same sex couples exist, because any cursory cycle through the TV channels has already told them (Glee, Modern Family, Ellen, etc., etc.).
No, I don't think that homosexuality will ever be criminalized, and I don't think there would be any point in doing so. However, I think there is some chance that the way in which the courts have defined equality rights to date may be revisited and reshaped. Not every decision of first instance is correct, and a sound judicial system should be capable of correcting itself over time.
Yes, it is an MPP that said he doesn't believe in evolution.

Real simple solution, start passing laws against revenge-porn and the release of any kind of other porn without written permission from both parties.
And start locking up people who break that law.
If the offenders are under-age send them to Juvie hall.
Also at the end of the day suicide is still a personal choice. There are lots of kids who get bullied every day who dont end up committing suicide
Your callous closing note aside, the "solution" you propose is no solution at all. It is already illegal to distribute nudie pics of minors. Doesn't stop it from happening. Do you really think making it extra special illegal is going to help? No. But educating kids about the risks, case studies, the law, etc could only help.
And you really think if there's no serious punishment for kids who release revenge-porn its really gonna stop??
You can educate them all you want, but if there are no repercussions kids are just gonna laugh at any laws, and do what they want
1'st year secondary?
When I was in Kindergarten, they used to make us take a nap when the other kids had recess. I remember we all brought in towels and we would lay on the floor and nap. Only, I was never a napper and I would just pretend to be asleep. The teacher meanwhile would walk up and down the rows of napping 5 year old and I would look up her skirt as she walked by.
Because many children are already sexually aware at 8 years old, you ignorant buffoon.
If you are funded with public money, you do as you are told... don't want the public money, teach whatever you want.
Yes. I was using the word opinion because that is what you chose to use.
The state has values that are enshrined in law and those values say that homosexuals amongst others deserve full legal equality. Therefore the schools should be reinforcing those values, not pretending gays don't exist.
