There is way too much focus on Indigenous Issues in schools now. Grade 9 Art classes in some schools have been converted to
teaching ONLY Native art. Is other art not worthy of study anymore?!Canada and World Studies courses seem to be being
converted to Native Studies departments! History should teach how the modern state of Canada was founded (Early settlers).
Indigenous issues should be taught in an objective way! Not a 100% victimization way which is the impression I'm getting!There
needs to be a balance. The pendulum has swung too far!Residential schools seems to be taught at every grade now!

I think that repealing the updated sex ed curriculum was short-sighted and dangerous. Diversity is a reality in Ontario schools and
ANY curriculum that does not acknowledge this is doing our children and families a disservice. Please reinstate the updated sex ed
curriculum and stop wasting time with this farce of a consultation.

I'm concerned that in September my children will be learning curriculum that is 20 years out of date. You can call it the 2014
curriculum all you want, but it was written in 1998. The old HPE curriculum does not address the realities of today's children.I want
my kids to learn about Gender Identity, Tolerance, Acceptance, Respect. Silencing the voices of the LGBTQ students and community
will only cause more harm.I request that my children school be directed to teach the updated 2015 curriculum.

I am very concerned about the outdated 90s sex ed curriculum still being taught in schools. This curriculum does not address the
realities our children face today. I grew up in the 90s and I know it was a very different time. I also know that I am not an expert
on current best practices and research around teaching sexual health, STDs, the internet and many other issues our kids already
deal with every day. I need these issues to be addressed in the classroom using a current well-researched curriculum such as the
one developed in 2015 by the Liberal government. I believe information will prevent our children from being victims and victimizing
each other. I do not believe a small minority of parents who do not agree with the new curriculum should be in control simply
because the PCs won less than 40% of the popular vote. Those parents who object for religious or other reasons have the option to
pull their kids from the classes. Those of us who understand our kids' new reality because we hear about these issues from them
can have their real lives addressed in the classroom as they should be.

I am disappointed and appalled that Premier Ford's government has decided not to implement the new sex-education curriculum.
The new sex-education curriculum was developed over many years with input from all stakeholders and is essential for our children
to safely navigate the challenges facing children today. It provides them the tools they need to address situations of sexual assault
or abuse. In addition, the new curriculum acknowledges and supports the LGBTQ people in our community and helps our children
be comfortable with who they are. Going back to the old curriculum not only makes our children less safe by withholding tools that
help protect them from from sexual predators, but it also excludes people who are an important part of our community. It is a
disservice to our children to allow them to leave school without the tools they need to have safe and fulfilling sexual lives. I strongly
support implementing the new sex-education curriculum, and I hope the Ontario Ministry of Education will put all the time and
money spent on this project to good use by implementing the up-to-date, evidence-based, thoughtful sex-education curriculum
they have prepared.

My concern is that the government wants to send our kids back 20 years in regards to their health education. I want my child

children need to learn about safety on the internet and the dangers that can come with texting and social media. To go back 20
years and teach a curriculum that was written before social media and that includes nothing about gender identities is reckless and
dangerous. We need the current 2015 curriculum taught in schools.

The 2015 Heatth and Physical education curriculum was far overdue and in some cases does not not go far enough due to concerns
of “teaching too much too soon”. If it is rolled back, it puts students at risk for years to come. Teachers deserve a robust evidence
based curriculum, such as the 2015 curriculum.The schools should incorporate more learning about Indigenous peoples at each
level. The consultations would have helped with that.

My concern with the current curriculum is that there is no "current" curriculum. It is my understanding that in just two weeks,
teachers on Ontario will be expected to teach from a outdated curriculum that was first released i 1998--TWENTY years ago. Topics
missing from this archaic document include acceptance, gender bias, social media and the consequences of technology and
information over saturation, and same sex relationships. I am appalled that the Ontario government would bow to pressure from
socially conservative right wing groups and rescind the 2015 curriculum which, despite fear mongering and lies from a handful of
extremists, has garnered widespread praise from most Ontarians, including parents and educators. The fact that teachers unions
and school boards have come forward to condemn this regressive move, the Ontario government blindly moves forward in order to
pander to these right wing special interest groups. When will the curriculum actually be designed to benefit the students it teaches
rather than soothe the far right base of an ill suited Premier of Ontario? Changing this curriculum will be costly, and damaging to
students. I am disgusted that a "conservative" government would make this move, as it is not at all conservative...it is fiscally and
morally reprehensible.

There is not enough being done to ensure the smooth transition for students from high school to college and university. Students
are not prepared adequately enough for the demands that will be placed on them when they reach secondary education - the need
to submit assignments on time and essentially having until the last day of the term or the year, the proper attitudes, the lack of
having your parents involvement, not wanting to fail students, etc. Students think this same approach will be acceptable at college.
And then they have a rude awakening and fail! Imagine that. More needs to be done during the high school years to show them
what it is really like and to prepare them for the 'real world.' .

What is considered the current curriculum? There is no curriculum currently being taught, since it's summer. The Regressive
Conservative government have already said they're rolling back to the 1998 curriculum and won't teach the 2015 curriculum.So,
my problems with the 1998 curriculum are, it's 20 years old and deals with none of the issues that were addressed with the
updated 2015 curriculum---which was extensively consulted on by experts and parents alike. Your government has already made it
clear they're happy to lie about what was said during the campaign (does the Ontario Basic Income Pilot come to mind?). You
should do something decent "for the people" for once and make your claims about repealing the 2015 curriculum a lie as well.

have concerns that the Ontario government is reverting to a curriculum that is 20 years old to appease some ultra conservative
people who want their children to be ignorant. Those people ALWAYS had the opportunity to opt out of the health curriculum if they
did not want their children to attend, now all kids are not allowed to learn about these very important topics. For all those parents
who say "it should be taught at home" well the simple fact is - it is not. My daughter was in class when they were discussing body
parts. When the words penis and vagina were mentioned, the other students erupted into laughter. She couldn't figure out what
was so funny - to her (because we DO teach at home) it was the same as saying "arm". Obviously the other kids were not taught at
home. I was happy that my school board consulted with local religious groups - Christian, Muslim etc - who may have had an issue
and after reading the curriculum they realized that it IS appropriate. They put their support behind the school board. You are
wasting time and money and I notice that they way you have phrased THIS feedback form, you are trying to only obtain NEGATIVE
feedback. Bring back the 2015 curriculum!!!

Sex ed curriculum as created and instituted by the previous governement was age appropriate and the result of much consultation
with knowledgable people. I value the inclusion of education about consent, diverse families, gender diversity and all other sections
included in the new curriculum, and I support continuing to use all parts of the 2015 curriculum in the classroom as it stands. I am
grateful that my son and his peers will learn this vocabulary in the classroom AS WELL AS at home, as a complement to what we

Please continue to teach the sex and health education curriculum that the Liberal government updated in 2015. I have grave
concerns that the curriculum from 1998 will NOT adequately teach children about how to be safe online, gender identity, sexuality,
and tolerance for others. Going back to the 1998 curriculum is unnecessary, and harmful to our kids. It is a political move by the
new premier, who has clearly never read what the curriculum actually teaches, nor does he know what Ontarians want for their
children.

I am deeply concerned that the Government of Ontario is endangering my children as well as putting the safety of others in
jeopardy by revoking the evidence based and heavily consulted 2015 Health curriculum. This ideological move ignores evidence and
is meant to pander to social extremists rather than create a safe environment for all of Ontario's children.The Premier says he will
not tolerate anyone using Ontario's children as pawns in political games. That is exactly what he and the minister of education are
doing. If they had a shred of decency they would change course and support the 2015 curriculum, and then resign for putting our
children at risk.Simply put: turning back the clock to the 1990s is a dangerous move. It is based in harmful ideology. Ontario can
be better than the hateful misinformation spread by the premier and minister.

Please! Teach the new sex ed curriculum. Children need to know about consent. Both boys and girls need to learn how to respect
ALL people and relationships regardless or gender, race religion, etc. And that it is ok to be different. These children are our future.
What they learn now ie respect and acceptance, will help change the world for the better. we will ALL benefit from that. To go back
to old curriculum (who I'm afraid is preferred by homophobic, intolerant people) and others who feel for example that women do
not have the right to decide what to do with their own body) is a massive step backward. It is hard enought to be a child/teen is

good WORLD citizen. All humans deserve the right to be recognized as valid, important and worthy regardless of their differences.

it sex Ed, but it’s just actually physical health! Get over yourselves! It’s called a vagina, penis, rectum, anus. These are anatomical
words that our kids should know. They should also know about consent, diverse relationships, gender identity etc etc etc. What will

I am concerned that the current government has repealed the sex ed curriculum. While my children are just starting their post
secondary education, if they had not been taught at school about definitions of online issue, consent/sexual assault or respect for
LGBT rights I do not think that they would be prepared for the world in which they live. As we have come to understand the degree
of sexual assault and sexual harassment that girls and women experience, it defies belief that we do not want to give them the
tools to protect themselves. Similarly, while I appreciate that all Ontarians do not support LGBTQ rights, the fact is they are legal
rights protected not only in the Human Rights Code but also, and more importantly in the Constitution. Regardless of your
views,there are LGBTQ children and youth in school and because of bullying and other factors they disproportionately commit
suicide in their young years. Again, the schools have a moral obligation to give these students the tools that will protect their lives

I am a teacher. I am concerned about the curriculum, namely returning to the 1998 HPE curriculum. The curriculum is out of date,
having been written before same-sex marriage, Google, sexting or cyberbullying. Moreover, I am concerned that, as a professional
who will be teaching in two weeks, there is no new curriculum to teach. Traditionally, curricula is published one year before
implementation. The fact that this was implemented in the summer and the 1998 curriculum is not even available online is, quite
frankly, irresponsible. The 2015 curriculum included feedback from a variety of stakeholders, from parents, to teachers, to students
to other NGOs and public health groups. It has gained praise from all over the world, including the WHO. So, my concern is that
instead of preparing student for the future, we are setting students back a generation.

do not: despite what alarmists would like to believe, it is age-appropriate, current, and relevant, as well as evidence-based, fully
researched, and supported by health professionals and educators. Its development involved parental consultation. The 1998
curriculum is outdated and inadequate. To slide backward does a disservice to our children and our society, and to put money into

First, the "Share your concerns about the current curriculum" page that led me to this form is so vague. Which part of the school
curriculum do you mean, exactly? Are you hiding behind language that hopefully will mean people won't know you're asking for
feedback specifically on the sexual health portion of the Health and Physical Education curriculum?Generally, I have been happy
with the curriculum taught at my daughter's school. I wish that there was still an emphasis on teaching children to spell, to
memorize math facts once they have the basic strategies in place, and to learn cursive writing. . Missing out on these kinds of
important learning opportunities and not being able to connect with important moments in history isn't acceptable.The biggest
concern I have right now is with the recent decision of the Conservative government to roll back the sexual health portion of the
Health and Physical Education curriculum. I have previously written to both Mr. Ford's office (for which I received no response) as
well as my local MPP (from whom I received a prompt and personalized response) to express these concerns.It is critical to teach
children openly and honestly about sexual health and the social issues related to it. I believe strongly that the 2015 curriculum
should be reinstated immediately. Shame on anyone working to block this important education from our province's children.Yes-
based consent will only begin to happen when we teach people how to do it, why it's important, and that it is expected in all sexual
relationships.Pornography must be discussed. Studies show that the average 10 year old has been exposed to it, often through
accidental web search results the first time and then through natural curiosity after that. Talking about what porn is, the dangers
related to watching it or relying on it solely as stimulation for masturbation, and other related issues is critical to sexual
empowerment.The impacts of sexting and sending nude photos must be discussed as early as possible. Studies show that girls as
young as 12 are being solicited for this kind of thing. Boys don't know it is wrong to ask and pressure each other into it. Girls don't
know it's wrong to do it and are sending them to fit in. Often with life-altering consequences. Teaching everyone in a class at the
same time levels the playing field and gives everyone the chance to not just change their own behavior but also call each other
out.Talking about gender, gender fluidity, and the gender spectrum is critical not just for students who identify outside of traditional
norms but also for their peers to understand that these differences are acceptable.Being inclusive of different kinds of relationships
other than heterosexual ones is critical for the mental health of students who are not heterosexual - to know that what they might
be feeling inside is normal and to be as equipped by school for safe, healthy and pleasurable sexual relationships as their
heterosexual counterparts are. For students who are heterosexual, having these conversations and normalizing these differences is
critical for their good participation in society.The 2015 curriculum was put together with input from educators, mental health and
sexual health professionals, parents, and a whole host of folks who needed to be involved. It was an important move in education
in Ontario and I am incredibly disgusted that the decision was made to roll back to a curriculum that was established a decade
before my daughter was even born. Stop wasting tax payer dollars on this nonsense, bring back the curriculum from 2015 and
move on towards more important issues.

The 2015 health curriculum went through multiple rounds of consultation with thousands of parents, educators, health professionals
and so forth. Due diligence has already been applied and the result is a modern health curriculum that addresses the needs of our
children in this day and age. It is a 21st century, fair, balanced, well researched and age appropriate health curriculum. If a person
withholds their child from health class because of their beliefs, that is their choice. However, those personal choices do not override
the rights of our daughter and the vast majority of children in this province to a health education that is appropriate for this day
and age. I suggest that you listen to voices of educators, who are urging you to keep the 2015 health curriculum in place while your
consultations take place. I encourage the Durham District School Board to continue with the 2015 curriculum in spite of Doug Ford's
ideological waste of taxpayer dollars to reinvent the wheel.

anti Black racism training or resources for staff on educating racialized children, particularly children of African Descent. Staff are
not equipped to educate or emotionally support my children when they are in their care. .....what else is happening during the day?
How often is my child and other racialized children being denigrated, treated as less than and ignored by staff and a curriculum that
renders them invisible and not as important. How can an education system educate children using a curriculum that does not
represent anything positive about their present or past? How are they supposed to thrive and be grest tudents when they are
taught daily that they are not worthy or valuable. The challenges with the curriculum is not just the health and physical education
components it's also the fact that it stills uphold a eurocentric lens and perspective of the world. It renders Indigenous racialized,

First off, your request for feedback is inherently biased because you’re asking for what’s being “currently taught”, which pre-
supposes you’re only accepting comments about concerns of the current (updated) curriculum is. I have concerns about repealing
the updated 2015 curriculum. I have two children and I feel not teaching children concepts around cyber safety and consent - even
for this one year - is inherently dangerous. My children use the Internet regularly and while I use a smart router and continually
check on their internet usage, I still believe there’s room for educators to provide supplemental guidance. I never grew up with the
Internet when I was in school and so I don’t feel as well equipped to teach my children about internet safety as educational experts
are. As well, your announcement to repeal the updated curriculum -which deals with consent - comes on the heels of several
decades of covered up sexual abuse by people in authority. Children should be taught this concept in order to protect themselves
from being taken advantage of.

I am concerned that reverting to an old curriculum will not prepare my child for the realities they face in this day and age. I feel
that it is vital to have comprehensive sexual health education. I trust that the educators, parents, public health experts and
community groups who were consulted prior to the 2015 update had students’ well being in mind and that the educators I entrust
my children to will present the information respectfully in a safe learning environment.

taught at home. This is nothing but a blatantly partisan attack against good, common-sense educational curricula developed by

for the current realities they face, including cyber bullying, sexting, etc. I am concerned that they will not be learning about diverse
families in early grades and gender expression and sexual orientation in the older grades. I am concerned that boys and girls will
not be taught about consent, a discussion that should begin even in the early grades. These are all realities of 2018 that MUST be
taught to our children. I have read the 2015 health curriculum and I find it to be acceptable, perhaps requiring only minor tweaks. I
would urge the government to maintain this curriculum to keep our children safe while the review and revisions are occurring.
Lastly I believe the current math curriculum should be reviewed to address poor math scores across the province.

I have serious concerns about the 1998 curriculum being taught again. I feel it’s important for health education to include
discussions about diversity in gender identity and sexuality, and discussions about risks and benefits associated with sexual activity.
It is also important to me that topics like consent, social media, and sexting are covered. While I believe that morals and values
regarding sexuality should be taught at home, most parents (myself included) do not have the knowledge and skills required to deal
with topics all the topics mentioned above, particularly those we’ve never personally experienced. Furthermore, health education,
including sex education, is a matter of public health - relying on parents to fill the gaps in the current (1998) curriculum puts all of
our youth at risk.

old-boy rape myths from their families and may violate them either out of ignorance or by design. Further, the PC's close-minded
reactionary attitudes towards LGBT-inclusive materials are grossly outdated - LGBT children need to hear messages that there's
nothing wrong with them before they've internalized hatred, possibly to the point of suicide, and others need to learn that message
before they're hit with discriminatory lawsuits.

The sexual education curriculum from 2015 is the most up to date and appropriate curriculum to be teaching children. To eliminate
or remove it and replace it with an out dated curriculum from twenty years ago will set our children up for potential harm. I have
two young children in elementary school currently and both are growing up in a vastly different world than when I was a teenager.
There are a plethora of different issues and matters that they must learn about in a safe and trusting environment beyond the
home. No matter what some voters may say, the world is rapidly changing and so is sexual education, we cannot take a large step
backwards as it will have negative ramifications for years to come.Indigenous curriculum; why would this be eliminated? This
province has been inhabited by Indigenous people for over 10,000 years. To ignore that history, culture and influence on our
modern society is a slap in the face to all of us. To deny the history, the injustice, and the suffering of a people we share a home
with will lead to pure and simple ignorance and more anger. Why would the Ontario government support the perpetuation of more
ignorance? These are all subjects, while difficult to swallow, must be taught to our children so we can continue moving forward with
healing as a nation and province.Don't roll back the progress that's been made, you'll do more harm than good.

Rolling back the curriculum for sex education is an absolute disgrace. Perspectives on sexual health and identity has absolutely
changed from 20 years ago, especially in the areas of being open on discussion about ones identity. This current change will not
support students going through the Ontario education system in understanding those complexities of sexual identity, of sexual
consent, of sexual health and for the support of those who may be victimized due to their gender orientation or as a victim of
sexual assault. Rolling back the sexual education curriculum to essentially what was used 20 years ago is an abhorrent move by the
Ontario government and is not something that I support. Ontario needs to demonstrate to its citizens that it supports EVERYONE no
matter their gender or sexual identity. Ontario needs to demonstrate that it is forward thinking - and this move backward is in no
way forward thinking. Change it back! In this political climate from our neighbours to the south, I would have thought that Ontario
would have done everything in its capacity to improve rights for its citizens and support the continued development of
understandings in all areas to further develop healthy communities. It was so incredibly disappointing to me and so many others on
the announcement of the plan for a completely inept sexual health education that has no place in this current society and no
meaningful place in the current education system unless your goal is to actually perpetuate negative stereotypes and
misunderstandings around sexual health and gender identity.

I am gravely concerned about the province's directive to resort to an outdated sex-ed curriculum. Not only does the old curriculum
have nothing to say about matters that are urgently important for the safety of today's young people - social media, for example -
it fails to provide kids with basic biological information in a timely fashion. For instance, the old curriculum didn't address
menstruation until grade 5 - a point when up to half of girls have *already* had their first period. Girls and boys alike need to
understand puberty in advance - not just after the fact. This curriculum was inadequate even 30 years ago, when I myself was in
school. It's only gotten more out of date in the interim. Fact-based sex education keeps kids safe! Sticking to an outdated
curriculum puts kids in harm's way.

TRANSPARENCY REQUESTED ON TEACHER ABSENTEEISM RATES I only know this because my son would tell me that these
teachers were absent a lot, and I started keeping track of them myself, asking him each day if these particular teachers had been
in or not that day. I have no idea of the absenteeism rate of his other teachers - the school management tells me they will not /
cannot release this data. The reasons for the absences are various - illness, school outings, family leave, staff meetings,
bereavement, school trips overseas, sports, administrative secondments The school principal told me “don’t worry, supply teachers
are qualified and provide the same level of education”. I think we can all agree, based on our own experience in high school, that
this is not the case. Supply teachers have no understanding of the class dynamics, invariably cannot impose discipline very
effectively – and if used repeatedly, result in a lack of teaching continuity – critical for many students struggling to follow the
program. I don’t care why a teacher is absent. But I do think that it’s important to me, as a parent, to have a good idea on the
absentee rate of my child’s teachers. If my child is showing no motivation for his math class, I’d like to know if this is because he’s
having difficulties understanding, if he’s bored, or if, due to frequent teacher absences, there is no continuity nor any discipline in
the classroom. Without that information, as a parent, I don’t have all the necessary information to understand the situation and do
what I can to help. I believe it is important that teacher absentee rates not be hidden from parents, who are, after all, the clients
being served by the school boards to which they pay taxes. I believe that report cards, which typically include the absentee rate of
students, also include the absentee rate of their teachers. If my son has a poor mark in math, and I see that his teacher was absent
for 40% of the classes, it will help me understand that the problem may lie not entirely with my son.

Hi.Thanks for setting up this portal for parents to express their concerns. I have a big one about the change in sex education and
health education. My son went through the program in grade 9 last year. It was excellent. It taught him about cannabis and other
drugs, the nasty effects of drug use on each part of the body and supplied him with actual scripts to use in turning down drug use.
It also did a wonderful job of discouraging teenage sex thanks to the detailed descriptions of STDs. Scripts were also taught to help
teens avoid being pressured into sex. We will be using our older son's health class notes from last year to educate our younger son
as he obviously won't be getting that important, information in his class any time soon, if at all. This change was not the will of the
people. "We will not tolerate anybody using our children as pawns for grandstanding and political games." Will that be applied to
our elected officials as well?

Unlike what has reported, I think parents DO want a curriculum that includes things like cyber bullying. HOWEVER... the previous
government was irresponsibly teaching gender theories (the unicorn etc) that are ideologically based, and have no basis in science.
This was an attempt to brainwash children and it is an affront on the idea of the family being a man and a woman with norman
sexual tendencies. While it is true that homosexuality exists, it does not need to be pushed on the kids as part of a larger unhealthy
social agenda that is anti-family. There is too much leftist activism animating teachers to get ahead of their skis and that is what

I have three children at different stages in their education at the TDSB (Grade 4, Grade 8, Grade 10). Overall, I feel strongly that
the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum is strong. I am particularly proud of the 2014 revised Health Curriculum and the
Ministry's movement towards including Truth and Reconciliation and Canadian First Nation education throughout the Social Studies
curriculum in particular. I strongly support the 2014 Health curriculum with its focus on respect for others, human rights, consent,
the changing family, social media, socio-emotional issues, mental health, and sexual health. I also applaud Ontario's efforts to
educate our children about Canada's treaties, residential schools, and all issues surrounding Truth and Reconciliation. I was deeply
upset to learn that Doug Ford has interfered in both of these areas and derailed implementation and further curriculum
development. I do feel that there is a lack of consistency across teachers and schools to truly understand and implement best
practice in assessment. Too many TDSB teachers across the grades are still focusing their assessments on knowledge and content
by asking my children to regurgitate facts onto tests and assignments that can be Googled. I want my children to be able to think
well, ask good questions, problem solve, have a growth mindset, take risks, have courage, be resilient, understand concepts
deeply, and be able to apply their learning to new situations. Generally, our teachers are not well equipped to foster these
attributes. Throughout my children's education, there has been little opportunity for them to be creative, explore their own interests
within the curriculum, and to have their curiosity nurtured. Most of the time, they are learning in a teacher-centered environment
where they are simply jumping through hoops placed by the teacher. Therefore, it is not the curriculum that I have an issue with
but rather how the curriculum is being implemented. I believe that the role of excellent teachers today is to pose good questions, to
guide the learning process, and to create inviting learning environments that motivate, engage, and stimulate curiosity. Our overall
goal should be to develop, within each student, an intrinsically motivated love of learning and a belief in themselves as a learners.
As said by Tony Wagner, who is a fellow at the Harvard Innovation Lab, "There is no competitive advantage today in knowing more
than the person next to you. The world doesn't care what you know. What the world cares about is what you can do with what you
know." I feel that Ontario is years behind in providing a more inquiry-based approach to learning that integrates subjects
authentically, while building strong communication skills. As student's enter the high school years, the situation becomes much
more dire with students learning the same way I did in Ontario 30 years ago - reading and regurgitating from a textbook! My oldest
child's highschool experience to date has been all about memorization of information across the academic subjects. This is simply
not good enough in 2018 and beyond when our digital and global world expects a much richer, innovative, and diverse skill set. I
would like to see Ontario look to other countries such as Sweden and Denmark, who have embraced a successful and more
progressive approach to education. School can be, and should be, both rigorous and joyful. Ontario, you have a long way to go.
Time to get moving. Our kids cant wait. Start by substantially increasing professional development opportunities for teachers,
particularly in areas such as Harvard's Project Zero, Reggio Emilia, Jo Boaler and Marion Small's approach to teaching Mathematics,
Lucy Calkins approach to teaching reading and writing, and our own CAFLN group to help teacher's with assessment. It is always
shocking to me when our teachers have not even heard of these mainstream experts. Bottomline - our kids deserve teachers who
have excellent training in teaching and learning. Very little will change until more of Ontario's funds are spent helping our teachers
to grow and develop. Ontario's curriculum is great. Let's stop fussing about the curriculum content and get moving on how to teach
the curriculum with 21st century excellence!

This question is badly worded to begin with as there is no 'currently' taught curriculum.However, IF you are referring to the
curriculum that was first created in 1998 and is now hopelessly and completely out of date, then yes my CONCERN is that the Ford
government will be forcing teachers to teach that garbage curriculum starting in Sept. My CONCERN is that you will not allow
teachers to talk about modern, incredibly important issues such as proper anatomical names for body parts, consent, cyberbullying,
consent (yes, this again!), different forms of families, non-heteronormative representation, i.e., things that children SHOULD know
to be educated, compassionate citizens in this world.My CONCERN is that the Ford government is being willfully regressive and
pandering to an overly conservative base without actually thinking about what children should be taught so they can be informed
about their bodies and their sexuality.

The very question posed by this survey is biased: my problem is with the PC party's repeal of the 2015 curriculum, which is well-
researched and is the result of thousands of consultations. I entirely oppose the PC party's reversion to the outdated and dangerous
curriculum from the 1990s. The repeal of the 2015 curriculum stems from a way of thinking that is anti-science, anti-research, and
will set back the social progress made for LGBTQ children and those who do not fit into outdated and frankly bigoted norms that
preceded it. I sincerely hope every PC party member who has children in the "new old" system meet the sex and gender

I have a number of issues with how our educational system has evolved over time (the emphasis on memorization instead of
problem solving, the lack of teaching of basic literacy skills like spelling and grammar, the ridiculous requirement to "go beyond
expectations", etc) but this is not the proper format to collect meaningful and informed commentary.This survey is frankly an
embarrassment. The very language of the page is so clearly biasing. How can you have a balanced consultation where the only
thing that is requested is complaints about the status quo? What you've created, is nothing more than a complaint box.If I'm being
honest, my largest concern with our educational system is the potential damage that will be caused if you revert the sex education
changes to the curriculum. Times change, and we as a society must move forward with those changes. Attempting to hide our
children under a rock of naivety and shield them from better understanding the world around them is pure lunacy. In what world, is
providing less information about a potentially life altering subject an appropriate action of an educational institution. And don't tell
me these are conversations that should take place between parent and child. Parents are the last people that a child wants to talk
to when the subject matter is sex. In short:* A focus on problem solving (see Scandinavia) has been shown to be a far more
effective style of learning. There is much we can adopt from them. * This survey is a dumpster fire and a clear attempt at
generating self-selecting results; you should be ashamed.

I’m concerned that we are reverting to a health curriculum that is over 20 years old. I want a modern, comprehensive sex-ed in my

orientations, and gender identity, at age appropriate stages. I am also concerned that by reverting to the old curriculum we are
putting LGBQT + children in danger. I am concerned about the resources we will be using to “justify” this travesty at the human
rights commission. I am appalled that the current government is pandering to fundamentalist groups and that even the wording of
this curriculum feedback form (“share your concerns”) suggests you are only looking for feedback from those who are against a
modern, unbiased curriculum. I understand that the Upper Grand District School Board has committed to continue with the current,
modern curriculum and have grave concerns that we now have a two-tiered curricula where the schools and school boards with
children that need access to this information the most, won’t have it. I am concerned we have to live with this government and this

I am appalled that the Sex Education curriculum is being rolled back and will no longer adequately teach our children about
important topics such as same sex families, the internet etc. Much study and consultation went into the new curriculum and rolling
it back is a cynical ploy to appeal to a portion of the electorate. Please use an evidence-based curriculum.

The current health curriculum doesn’t go far enough in teaching our children about the diversity of gender identities. My child is
transgender and needs his teachers to educate his peers about the range of gender identities and expressions so that he is equally
included, represented, and accepted among his peers (as is his right under the OHRC). When human rights education is lacking,
discrimination is bound to occur.

I’m very concerned that the Health Education curriculum that will be taught in my child’s classroom in the fall will be the antiquated
1998 version instead of the 2015 version that was thoroughly researched and fully vetted. I’m concerned that this government is
wasting money on reverting to a document that does nothing to prepare our students for the realities of this day and age and
instead panders to the religious right and other parents who cannot be bothered to read the material themselves.

My concern is the reversal to a curriculum written in 2008. The 2015 Sex Ed Curriculum was one of the very few things the Ontario
Liberal Gov’t did correctly and you took it away. I want my child as educated as possible on all sexual matters by responsible
adults. Taking away the 2015 curriculum will take our children back to the days where many children learn about sexual health
issues from other children. This is irresponsible and wrong. Bring back the 2015 curriculum and spend the taxpayers money on
improving areas of education that are real problems like math and special education needs.

Comprehensive sexuality education is as important to our children and to our society as comprehensive math or history education. I
need my child and the children growing up around her — who will be her dates, peers, and leaders — to know as much about
consent, sexual health, sexual abuse, relationship skills, pleasure, the spectrum of sexual orientation, and the multifaceted nature
of gender as they do about writing essays and calculating trajectories. It is your responsibility to keep Ontario's sexual education
curriculum comprehensive and current to today's understanding of the topic.

I think the current (90s -2014) curriculum is absolutely outdated and for not teach accurate sex education in a modern world.
Children need to know about consent and sex education that is taught at age appropriate levels. As a person who was taught the
old curriculum in school, and as a person who has had many friends assaulted by others who didn’t know about consent, it is so
important that children are taught these things. It sounds good that it should be “up to the parents” to teach these things but
unfortunately many parents do not teach their children proper values in order to become functioning adults.

I have no concerns over the curriculum that is taught at my child's school. Our teachers and support staff are excellent. Curriculum
is not the most pressing issue in most elementary schools. Children can't learn if they are hungry. When they have little or no
support at home.. . When they are angry.. .When they are forced to be in a regular classroom that is not meeting their needs.
Other children can't learn when there are a number of children in their classroom that are in mental distress. Regular evacuations
and lockdowns are not the answer. Our school's need more support for children with special needs.

The 2015 physical and health education curriculum was designed and written by experts in child development, internet safety,
police, and social workers, in consultation with roughly 4,000 parents.It emphasizes much-needed lessons of consent, acceptance
for others and sexual health. In the age of Me Too, we can’t afford to stop teaching kids about consent and acceptance. Youth
deserve scientific facts and unbiased information when it comes to their health. It’s simple: society will suffer if we don’t educate
children in these topics.Opponents of the curriculum make up a small but vocal minority, come from the far-right and helped get
Ford elected. But despite what they argue, evidence from the UN shows that access to comprehensive sex-ed does not increase
sexual activity. It leads to well-informed decisions and reduces the risk of harmful sexual behaviour.The existing curriculum goes
far beyond providing age-appropriate information about sexual and reproductive health. It teaches personal safety, healthy
relationships based on mutual respect and consent, and is inclusive of all children and youth who call Ontario home.

I am very concerned that the PC government is planning to revert to the previous curriculum. I fee strongly that my children and
the children of Ontario deserve to be taught current information that will be relevant, thorough, and helpful in navigating life in
2018 and beyond. It is unfathomable why anyone would object to teaching children the names of their body parts, or that certain
types of people exist in the world. It is outright wrong to deny them the information they need. I am saddened by the
misinformation spread about this curriculum which has incensed people with the thinking that their children will be learning things
before they are ready. It was shameful in 2015 that Ontario was only then catching up to current standards. We should not be
going backwards now. PLEASE KEEP THE 'NEW' (2015) HEALTH CURRICULUM.

I am in favour of what was to be the new curriculum for sex education in the classroom not what you are proposing to scrap and
revert back to curriculum prepared in 1998. Curriculum pertaining to lgbtq issues, contraception, assault, consent and online should
all be a part of the curriculum in order to better serve our children as they mature and grow into young women and men. Failure to
educate our youth will see a rise in risky sexual behaviour, unplanned pregnancies and bullying. We can't allow intolerance and
prejudice to grow because we are afraid of talking about these facts of life. Schools are the front line and our best bet in educating
our kids. Teachers spend the most time with kids - more than parents. This is essential for a decent, kind, educated society.

I wholeheartedly support my school board in teaching a progressive sex Ed curriculum which addresses LGBT+ relationships,
gender identity and consent. I am deeply concerned by the decision to roll back recent changes in favour of a retrograde, unrealistic
and insufficient curriculum for the comfort of a small number of parents who are uncomfortable with the existence of gay or trans
people, or with providing their kids with information about their bodies and their rights (ie to consent or not consent, to object to
sexting, etc). In the meantime, I trust teachers’ judgement as professionals about what subjects need to be addressed in their

less adequate curriculum. It is irresponsible to go back to a 1998 lesson plan, as it does not even begin to relate to children's
experiences in the world today (even if you are using a slightly revised and updated version of the 1998 curriculum, this is still not
good enough). So, thank you to the brave teachers who continue to put their students wellbeing first. I am proud of the work that

abhorrent, irresponsible, and an outright violation of the rights and dignity of people who are in most need of comprehensive sex

I strongly DISAGREE with the "Government for the People"'s decision to revoke the legislation enacted by the previous provincial
government in terms of PUBLIC education for youth which included addressing gender diversity and same-sex parenting, sexting
and bullying, among other issues about sexuality that affect youth today. We need to teach our youth "how to be in the world" -
and by shielding them from existing realities due to the agendas of conservative and narrow-minded prudes, we are leaving them
ill-equipped to cope in today's society, as well as discouraging diversity.Teaching about these realities is extremely important in
rural and remote areas, where there is limited diversity due to smaller populations - avoiding these topics will leave students not
only vulnerable to attacks, bullying and harm due to potential ignorance, but prone to perpetuating stereotypes and attitudes of
intolerance. Not all parents engage in necessary open conversation with their children, which is why it is so important for a PUBLIC
education system to empower youth by having professional educators equip them with knowledge about today's realities.
Purposeful avoidance does not equal ignorant bliss. Netflix and YouTube aren't good teachers either, although that's where kids will
turn to - and to other explicit online content - for answers in a void; this will not teach about responsibility and respect, let alone
love. Let us breed love and not intolerance. Let us empower and not shame. Let us publicly educate our children about the way the
world really is - not some post-Boomer old-school "idealistic" proxy based on rigid values of yesteryear.

consent or gender issues. It is irresponsible to revert to this old curriculum and a huge waste of taxpayer resources as we a lready
have a perfectly good updated curriculum, which was created with experts and public consultation. Parents are not education
experts, they do not and should not write curriculum. A few parents that wish to keep their children in the dark should not be able
to dictate what the province teaches. The children of those parents are the ones that need this factual information most. The
majority of parents in this province want evidence-based, responsible, up to date health education. NOT the 1998 curriculum (there

Child should not be taught what homosexuality is, or what transgender is, until grade 8 or 9, when they are at the age of puberty
and beginning to have sexual desires and may wonder why they feel certains ways. An 8 year old should be coming home asking

Former student, graduated in 2012.Sexting was becoming a huge issue when I was in high school, one that I imagine has only
grown since I've graduated. Back in 2012, there was nothing taught to address this, as well the issue of consent. It would concern
me if the curriculum does not keep up with today's technological problems, which will leave our youth behind in direction on how to
handle a situation when someone asks them to send naked photos of themselves.This is a serious issue as in today's world
anything that is shared or placed on the internet is likely permanent. We need to educate students on the lasting consequences of

In the 1998 Sex Education Curriculum, it did not so much as mention topics like "sexual orientation", "homophobia", or "gender
identity". It wasn’t until grade eight that students learned, rather direly, the consequences of sexual activity. In 1998, there was no
YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter - the Internet was just beginning to be used regularly, and cell phones were only just coming out.
Technology has quickly evolved and advanced along with society - the education provided to students also needs to follow that
same evolution.In the 2015 Sex Education Curriculum, students learn to identify their body parts, and what healthy relationships
should look like. They look at different family structures, puberty, mental health, stereotypes in relation to self-esteem, consent,
and how to prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STIs). Students explore gender identity and expression, sexual orientation,
suicide warning signs and prevention, addictions, internet safety and sexting, and the different resources that are available within
the community. This curriculum focuses on many issues that are incredibly relevant to youth today and MUST continue to be taught
and updated as society evolves and changes.Our society as a whole is moving forward very quickly. Things today aren't the same
as they were even last year, let alone TWO DECADES ago, and our school system and government must continue to keep up with
the modern times. This is 2018 - not 1998! Students today need to be taught about the world they are living in TODAY, not the
world in 1998. Society has progressed very far in the last two decades, and our school system and curriculum needs to reflect
that.The 2015 curriculum must stay in place.

I have serious concerns about the removal of sexual education content from the Ontario curriculum. Omission of topics such as
gender identity, same sex marriage, masterbation, and sexting. Sexual education has direct impacts on health and it is appalling
that this content is being removed from the curriculum. I want my child to be educated on these topics and I support any educator
who discusses them in class, even if it opposes current curriculum plans. I encourage you to become familiar with the document
"International technical guidance on sexuality education: An evidence-informed approach" by the UN Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization.The PC government's actions on curriculum content are deplorable and extremely concerning.

As a mid 20s gay man, I was a product of the 1998 curriculum. I spent a significant portion of my teens and early 20s feeling
confused and shamed for my own preferences and for the most part feeling alone as it generally wasn’t taught. Most of what I
learned ended up being self taught from the internet as my parents were not a resource I could rely to on school. Setting a level
and even playing field for all students and starting ‘normalizing’ the conversation at a younger age really would have benefited me
and my development. I find this whole roleback very similar to the plight of segregated schools and normalizing diversity in schools.
Teaching students that even if your students don’t look like you, they’re still the same was a very important part of the curriculum,
how is this any different. This partisan issue by the vocal minority needs to stop, institute the 2015 curriculum. For all I care, just
rerelease it as a Conservative win and get the policital capital, just don’t let the children suffer. This tattletale system is ridiculous,

I have concerns that the current curriculum will not be taught. Any informed parent knows what is actually in the document rather
than highlighting some sound-bites out of context which makes it seem as though it is a "how-to" document rather than one that is
rooted in removing shame, blame and empowers ALL students, not just those whose identities align with the hetero-normative
notions in society. The current curriculum needs to continue to be taught. Ignorance of topics does not make our children safer it

It is unacceptable that a curriculum written in 1998 should even be considered as relevant. It is important that children learn about
consent, different family structures, the potential consequences of sexting and sharing sexual material, safe sex practices (including
anal sex) and all orientations and genders so they can be better prepared for their own lives and those they will come in contact

topics.Opponents of the curriculum make up a small but vocal minority, despite what they argue, evidence from the UN shows that
access to comprehensive sex-ed does not increase sexual activity. It leads to well-informed decisions and reduces the risk of
harmful sexual behaviour.The existing curriculum goes far beyond providing age-appropriate information about sexual and
reproductive health. It teaches personal safety, healthy relationships based on mutual respect and consent, and is inclusive of all

themselves for the future. He is using our students as pawns for his political gain. He is attacking teachers by inviting parents to
anonymously complain about teachers, without going through the proper remediation channels that are currently available. Mr.
Ford has no idea what the classroom of today looks like and needs to start listening to his teachers, the school boards and the

I love the brave teachers that care more about their responsibilities to the children than their job security. I am deeply concerned
about the directive to teach the 1998 health and physical education curriculum that I was taught in high school. It's a whole
generation old, and was inadequet back then! Good lord, we didn't even have the ability to sext! We didn't understand that sex
itself extended beyond good ol' penis in vagina, and never heard an authoritative adult say 'penis' until grade nine (at which point
everyone giggles like they're back in elementary school), and certainly didn't learn about different sexual orientations, mental
health, genders, or consent. Take a look at pregnancy stats and suicides then. What is wrong with sexual literacy and education
that fosters tolerance and empowerment of our most vulnerable kids? The 2015 program was done with consultation - parents and
professionals - and to redo it to appease a small religious minority is fiscally irresponsible. To pull it out completely is going to be
directly doing harm to our children, my children, my children's friends. Shame on you. All my support to any teacher who teaches

I think the new curriculum wonderfully embraces the rich and diverse province we live in. Since there is no provision by the
ReformaCONS under Doug Ford to support this curriculum I am using this forum. I want my children to grow up beside kids from
same sex families, with kids that maybe have 2 mommies now that daddy has embraced his gender identity. I want the kids to
know that No mean No and that there are safe people to talk to. I just look at the scandals by the Catholic Priests and think how
different that outcome could have been if only the children were properly taught and their parents supported them and believed
them. Teachers I encourage you to stand up to the mysoganistic ideals of the Progressive Catholic Conservative Party . Pl3ease for
the love of the children do what you know is best

I want to address the fact my child will be learning the same sex ed that I learned back in 1998. It is woefully outdated, leaves out
mentions of consent, masturbation, same sex relationships, gender fluidity and other healthy sexual health norms that weren't left
addressed in the 1998 curriculum.I also worry about my child's teacher being out of a job if they teach the 2015 curriculum to my
children.I have two daughters. The 1998 curriculum does nothing to teach them about healthy relationships, sexting, how sexting
can be seen as the distribution of child porn - I've also been unable to get a hold of Doug Ford or anyone on his team despite
repeat requests for contact.

The 2015 curriculum has it right. Don't mess with it. Have you, Mr. Ford, even read both curriculums? In preparation for this, I
have. I want my son to know about consent, that he, along with any child, has the right to say no. I want him to be supportive and
knowledgeable about the ever growing LGBTQ community. I want him to identify as whatever gender makes him feel comfortable in
his own skin. I want him to know about online bullying and how sexual predators attack kids online. All of this is addressed already
in the 2015 curriculum. The 1998 curriculum, or rather the 1998 curriculum disguised as the 2010 curriculum doesn't even come
close as some of these things didnt exist. Are you aware that grade 6s this year will learn the same thing (reproductive system)
they did last year according to the 1998 curriculum? This whole situation is ludicrous. The second thing is that I have an issue with
you telling parents to go over the educator's heads and straight to the OCT. This is not how problems are solved and this is not how
they should be solved. This just creates division pitting parents against teachers with the students suffering in the end. Not to
mention tying up the OCT's resources because of mad parents, instead of doing the fantastic job they already are doing getting rid
of the few bad apples.Do your homework and instead of making broad sweeping changes a couple months before school starts, do
all the forums and research first. Maybe create a plan that has some intelligence and thought and actually have a new curriculum
ready instead of going back to the dark ages for 'good old days' sake.Back in the good old days I was bullied relentlessly, nearly
committed suicide. This is what your 1998 curriculum did for me...nothing. I want my son to have it better. Basically, this is the
worst idea I've ever heard. I fully support the teachers but was willing to give you a chance...you failed. Sincerely,
Nope, I won't let you sully our wonderful school.

Hi! I think that as EDUCATORS, our teachers should be giving our children the tools to safely protect themselves, as well as
TRUTHFULLY educate them. This curriculum (1998!!!) is terribly ignorant, is not the best interest of any child in Ontario, and should
most definitely NOT be the basis of what we teach our children about sexuality, sex, and anything in between. This curriculum is

I have deep concerns that the curriculum proposed by Doug Ford's government is a direct attack on my and my family's human
rights. My child, who has same-sex parents, deserves to be supported by a curriculum that affirms that his family is as legitimate
and "normal" as any other family, that his gender, however he chooses to express it, is worthy of celebration. I want to know that
my tax dollars—which I gladly pay, to support necessary social programs in our province—are going toward providing my child with
UP TO DATE and factually sound information that will allow him to make positive choices for his developmental and sexual health
and overall safety—this includes learning about consent, about queer (and straight!) sexuality, about gender expression. This
includes learning how to identify and prevent sexual assault and abuse—both for himself and on behalf of others—and it includes
learning about cyberbullying. It is appalling that a solid factual curriculum, one developed after EXTENSIVE consultation with
experts and families, is being scrapped to appease conservative zealots. It is a disgusting waste of my tax dollars to be undertaking
a new, biased process of "consultation." For the PC government to purge the curriculum of LGBTQ content by claiming it's out of
"respect for parents" is absurd—it's a flagrant violation of my own human rights, as a parent with children in the public school
system. I respect the rights of families who subscribe to conservative religious beliefs to opt out of progressive education; they
should respect the rights of the rest of us who demand that our children be educated with relevant, up-to-date, vitally important
material. And it's abhorrent that the PC government is punishing teachers who are doing the absolute best by our students by
setting up a de facto snitch line that penalizes the educators who are simply trying to ensure that their charges receive the same
education as peers outside of this province governed by folks determined to keep its citizens in the dark ages.

My concerns are related to the rolling back of the 2015 curriculum to the 2014 curriculum from a sex education perspective. I fully
support the OCT and teachers in their role as professionals to use discretion to teach elements of the 2016 curriculum to my
children. Furthermore, your new release suggests you are respecting parent by including us in consultations. In the mean time you
are rolling back the curriculum - without consultation and with little to no evidence to support that the 2014 curriculum is better
than the 2015 one. This may result in 3 different curriculums in a span of 2 years (talk about waste). This rollback only serves to
please Ontarians who voted for your platform, placing "promise made, promise kept" over informed policy development.
Furthermore, the site you have posted and the language you are using is patronizing to citizens, clearly slanted towards your
ultimate goal/beliefs before the process has even started. The website allows people to "submit complaints about the current
curriculum". You are asking parents "what is wrong" with the current curriculum without encouraging open dialogue and identifying
what is actually right. What about an unbiased approach which promotes an honest conversation. Your first step out the door has
turned this into an adversarial conversation rather than a constructive, thoughtful, and evidence-based approach - starting by
threatening the teachers who care for our children with corrective action if they don't listen. Finally, I've watched several initiatives
be rolled back over the past month or two, several cited as "emotional policy making" by a Liberal government. Its ironic to see
curriculum rolled back before consultation and evidence is gathered, for what are purely partisan (emotional/philosophical) reasons
at this point in time.

It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundreds
of nouns that can be got rid of as well. It isn't only the synonyms; there are also the antonyms. After all, what justification is there
for a word which is simply the opposite of some other word? A word contains its opposite in itself. Take "good", for instance. If you
have a word like "good", what need is there for a word like "bad"? "Ungood" will do just as well — better, because it's an exact
opposite, which the other is not. Or again, if you want a stronger version of "good", what sense is there in having a whole string of
vague useless words like "excellent" and "splendid" and all the rest of them? "Plusgood" covers the meaning, or "doubleplusgood" if
you want something stronger still. Of course we use those forms already. but in the final version of Newspeak there'll be nothing
else. In the end the whole notion of goodness and badness will be covered by only six words — in reality, only one word. Don't you
see the beauty of that, Winston?

kids will have about different sexual orientations and identies, but I guess the Conservative party is just fine compelling these
bullied children to commit suicide (it's not like suicide rates among LGBTQ youth aren't high enough already).The only disease kids
should learn about is Doug Ford and conservativism which seeks to keep humanity back 100 years as much as possible while they
hide behind this idea that conservatism is really only about spending less tax payer money. Tell me, how the fuck it is dangerous to
teach kids how to protect themselves against sexual diseases and that there are people of different sexual orientations and identies
in the real world and that it's totally normal and to treat these people with respect instead of ignorant discrimination?Thanks for

The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid
joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill,
to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current,
turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected

From the moment when the machine first made its appearance it was clear to all thinking people that the need for human drudgery,
and therefore to a great extent human inequality, had disappeared. If the machine were used deliberately for that end, hunger,
overwork, dirt, illiteracy, and disease could be eliminated within a few generations. And in fact, without being used for any such
purpose, but by a sort of automatic process—by producing wealth which it was sometimes impossible not to distribute—the
machine did raise the living standards of the average human being very greatly over a period of about fifty years at the end of the
nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. But it was also clear that an all-round increase in wealth threatened the
destruction—indeed, in some sense was the destruction—of a hierarchical society. In a world in which everyone worked short hours,
had enough to eat, lived in a house with a bathroom and a refrigerator, and possessed a motor-car or even an aeroplane, the most
obvious and perhaps the most important form of inequality would already have disappeared. If it once became general, wealth
would confer no distinction.

we kill him. It is intolerable to us that an erroneous thought should exist anywhere in the world, however secret and powerless it
may be. Even in the instant of death we cannot permit any deviation. In the old days the heretic walked to the stake still a heretic,

My concern is that the Conservative supported backlash against the updated health curriculum is going to risk student lives by
ignoring the importance of teaching consent and strengthening inclusive school communities and well-being. Teachers require even
more support in teaching current health issues, not to be dragged back into a pre-social media, pre-updated human rights code
way of discussing sexuality and gender. I hope the KPRDSB and other school boards will support their teachers in appropriately
teaching the updated content as per ETFO and OSSTF recommendations.The current grandstanding by the new provincial
government is going to have significant financial and human cost. The approach being taken by Doug Ford and his ministers is also
further damaging the important connection between school and home which requires support rather than conflict so that students
can experience a clear sense of encouragement and guidance. If you continue in this direction, I believe we will see increased risk
to student mental health as well as student physical health impacts which include STIs and teenage pregnancy. Look at the
evidence around the need for this information and not the fear mongering and politicking.

I like the way the curriculum is being taught. Children need to be taught self respect, they need to be taught modern sex ed that is
relevant to modern society. They need to be taught about STIs, assault, consent and to respect each other. Doug Ford please go
screw yourself, it's laughable that you think you represent even close to a majority of Ontario's wishes. You won because people
hated your predecessor and not at all because they like your lack of any sort of defined platform.Additionally Trades, Maths and

Reverting to the 1998 health curriculum is asinine. I have zero faith in this government's capacity to improve up upon the
curriculum that was being delivered since 2015. This government is not qualified to make curriculum changes. Leave that to our

I am writing to support teachers in going above and beyond the 2010 curriculum to continue teaching about anatomy, consent,
gender identity and sexual identity. Children need to be taught at an early age about proper names for their anatomy, about
consent, and about boundaries. It gives them the vocabulary to stop abuse.This is particularly important for students with
disabilities, who are often the ones least likely to receive health education alongside their peers. An estimated 80% of women with
developmental disabilities will be sexually assaulted in their lives, and only a few of these assaults will be reported. I hope,
alongside disability justice activist, Sarah Jama, that the 2015 curriculum will continue to be included in students’ IEPs.I am also
concerned that the 2010 curriculum’s lack of discussion around gender and sexual identity will put kids at risk. I was heartened by
the TDSB’s recent message that they have a “responsibility guided by the Human Rights Code, the Education Act and supported by
TDSB policies, to ensure that each and every student, such as LGBTQ students, feels included and reflected in our schools and
classrooms.” My hope is that other local school boards will feel equally committed to this.

My main concern with the current sex ed curriculum (adopted in 2015) is only one: that it will disappear, it will not be taught
anymore, leaving children in ignorance about what is sexuality in 2018 (which includes knowledge on the body, relationships in the
era of social media, diversity in sexual orientations, etc). We will be creating ignorant, judging and non-tolerant creatures, that will
eventually contribute to the self destruction of our communities as we know them in Canada - accepting and supportive, working
together for the common good. Congratulations on one of your many dumb decisions Mr. Ford.

curriculum that is 20 years old - far older than they are. It is a blatantly homophobic move by this government and as the parent of
a child who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, I am horrified that any government would be allowed to get away with this. I am
also against spending my tax dollars to do another “comprehensive” consultation of parents to see what they want to be a part of
the health curriculum, let alone the math curriculum. Does comprehensive in this case include parents who believe in acceptance of
others in all communities? I highly doubt it! This government should be ashamed of itself.

when the old curriculum was written. Also, parents and staff were very well consulted prior to initiating the 2015 curriculum,
despite the lies the current government is spreading. Hopefully the teachers of Ontario will do the right and moral thing in
continuing to teach the 2015 curriculum, showing they care more about their students' lives

understanding of discrimination was much different than it is today. I want my daughter to grow up in a world where being LGTBQ,
having LGTBQ parents is ok; where bullying or doxxing is unacceptable; where kids are taught to have an online presence that
doesn't put them at risk. I am deeply concerned that backwards thinking social conservatives in power are using a political shift to

I am greatly concerned that the 1998 curriculum will not teach the realities of today's world, and that the government is forcing
teachers to fall below the professional standards we expect from teachers. I view this amateurish attempt at a "snitch line" as
below the standards of common decency, and treat it with the contempt it deserves. You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

As a parent of two children at Sinclair, I want the teachers to know that I FULLY support the NEW curriculum as it was taught since
2014. The issues addressed are critical to my children's safety and well-being, and to the safety and well-being of other children in
the school. The old curriculum (pre-2000) was grossly inadequate in all regards, and reverting to it would be irresponsible and
unethical. I am appalled at the PC government's decision to scrap the new curriculum.

Why are we taking a step back in time and cutting the health/sex ed curriculum that took so long to get implemented? Let’s
become proactive, forward thinkers and let our children learn a current and relevant sexual education. The other inadequacies in
our curriculum will take more than my allotment of characters to express. Why not scrap the EQAO? It’s meaningless. All children
don’t learn in the same way and that’s why our education system fails them. We need a complete overhaul of the way that we th ink
about teaching and learning. Look to Finland for a better way to present education. Reimplement Wynne’s sex ed curriculum. Let’s
jump into this millennium to give our children a better future.

This website is unclear (as is your government) about just *what* the "current" curriculum will be in my child's school start ing this
doing so is a waste. I do think that the government needs to act now to finish the process of responding to the Truth and

improve the curriculum and return it to the fundamental truths of our society.

I would trust the word of child psychology and scientific studies over 'parental input' every time. Are the parents who complain
about the new curriculum going to truly teach their children what they deem 'isn't the school's business to teach'? Not at all! It is
PROVEN that children who are knowledgeable about these issues are more likely to recognize sexual abuses which they would not
have otherwise known was occurring. They will also gain the knowledge in a safe environment, not random websites that kids will
ALWAYS find a way to access. GET WITH THE TIMES!!!!

The fact that Doug Ford wants to revert back to an antiquated sex-ed curriculum is mind-blowing and downright foolish.The world
of 1998 is long gone. There have been huge movements in LGBTQ acceptance and understanding, and the fact that the curriculum
that will be taught in the upcoming school year completely omits this is unacceptable.In addition, entire sections on consent,
understanding of risks (once again, many new ones that did not exist in 1998), are missing, and the overall level of education is not
up to par with society.We are in 2018. Teaching a curriculum from 1998

First, where is the positive feedback option? Why is this survey skewed negative to begin with? What about all the people that are
happy we had an updated and current sex-ed curriculum? The real concern is that you are reverting education. The old curriculum
was just that. Old. It needed to be updated. You are denying the existence of the technological world we live in and the progress
that has been made. This isn't 1996, no matter how much DF wants to revert back to his fuller hair and slimmer body, we live in
the future, where decisions about sex should be made with current, guided information. There is nothing in the new curriculum that
does anything more than create representation for people who exist and teach our kids how to think smarter in a world where
sexting exists and can have unintended negative consequences. You can't hide this information, but if you present it with context, is
that not better than leaving it to the internet or parents who would rather avoid embarrassment than educate their child? We live in
the future, our education should match our progress. It's baffling you could think people thousands of years ago were somehow
more advanced in thought or education. We build robots man. Time to let the present dictate the future.

I am concerned that the current government of Ontario is putting children’s lives at risk by returning to the 1998 curricu lum. This
old curriculum will lead to more children being potentially sexually exploited and harmed as it does not teach about internet and
social media safety, and children won’t learn about consent, sexting or online dangers like cyberbullying. It’s also imperative that

I am concerned that under the current government of Ontario the school boards are all being pressured to teach outdated sex ed
information that does not reflect the current risks that children are exposed to via internet information and mis-information. I
believe this step is being taken to appease a tiny minority of Ontario residents and it does not reflect the beliefs of the majority of
Ontarians. I believe that there was a sufficient consultation process with both parents and experts having a voice in the
development of the curriculum introduced in 2015. I believe it is important for children of all ages to be taught about consent
outside of the home since a significant portion of sexual assaults are perpetrated by trusted relatives and authority figures. Children
of all ages need medically accurate language to understand their experiences in order to appropriately seek help. I applaud the
OCDSB for publicly identifying that they oppose the regressive policy to revert to outdated information as the official curriculum.

absolute basics of sex and gender (they aren't the same thing! you have a gender AND a sex!), and perhaps be called upon to
accurately identify genitalia, gender performances, same-same sexual relationships, various types of sexual and romantic
relationships, sexual harassment, consent, homophobia, and on and on. These adults should have all this knowledge ahead of my
course thanks to their grade-school education. Instead of a university-level class about social groupings and the implications of
gender performances on everyday life, in future years I will be a grade-school sex-educator. My job will be tremendously more
difficult because I'm not a grade-school sex educator and haven't had the necessary training. In the near future, I imagine spending
classes arguing with students about the backwards non-sense they've been taught in grade-school and I imagine LGBTQ+ students
in my classroom feeling even more marginalized than they already are. This is not the classroom dynamic I aspire toward.Not only
will this job be more difficult, I fear for my career since my students will not have accurate information about sex and gender and,
when I teach them about wee-wees and hoo-hoos, they or their parents might snitch on me. The last thing a part-time contract
instructor needs is complaints filed against them. I'm disgusted with the Ontario government. I'm pre-emptively "snitching" on Ford
et al for teaching inappropriate content in the classroom. Please retain current sex-ed curricula, for my sake and my students.

I'm just here to comment about my concerns about this policy as a whole. Lets the teachers do their job and teach. If the premier
wants to regress the curriculum, he deserves to deal with the backlash, not the teachers. Teach sex-ed properly, consent is more

As the parent of two teenagers, my concern is the lack of support being given to the boards and teachers who handle the 2015
curriculum with sensitivity and professionalism. This curriculum is necessary and the outdated 1998 curriculum will not do. My
children need a curriculum that reflects the world they are growing up in. By all means hold consultations and update where there
are concerns but do not take this curriculum away. Telling parents to report teachers, which contradicts the essential protocol of
first addressing the teacher, principal then trustee directly undermines our education system. You say you want to hear from
parents, so here is my opinion, please register it as you move forwards.

The new sex ed curriculum does not cater to the needs of the day and age we are living in. Kids mature physically way earlier than
before and need to know their bodies and understand the concept of consent. Also they need to understand more about the internet
and it’s use and how they can be in physical danger as a result of using the internet carelessly. The sex ed curriculum should reflect
the current practices and should be kept as up to speed as technology or other changing fields constantly are.

The 2015 curriculum is unnaceptable. Kathleen Wynne's Liberal government has ruined the way kids are taught, and what is right
and wrong. The curriculum that Doug Ford's Conservative government wants to have in place is ideal. The way the younger
generations have been previously taught is embarrassing and absolutely wrong. There is enough problems coming from the
younger generation, and this is a necessary step into improving our schools and education systems. There is no need for complaints
about the 1998 curriculum because that is how things should be. The 2015 Curriculum has done nothing but cause hassle amongst
parents, children, teachers amd so on. LET THE GOVERNMENT DO THEIR JOBS, there's a reason why Kathleen Wynne wasn't re-
elected and changes being made are for the better futures of the younger generations.

for others and sexual health. In the age of Me Too, we can’t afford to stop teaching kids about consent and acceptance. Youth
deserve scientific facts and unbiased information when it comes to their health. It’s simple: society will suffer if we don’t educate
children in these topics.Opponents of the curriculum make up a small but vocal minority, come from the far-right and helped get
Ford elected. But despite what they argue, evidence from the UN shows that access to comprehensive sex-ed does not increase
sexual activity. It leads to well-informed decisions and reduces the risk of harmful sexual behaviour.The existing curriculum goes
far beyond providing age-appropriate information about sexual and reproductive health. It teaches personal safety, healthy
relationships based on mutual respect and consent, and is inclusive of all children and youth who call Ontario home.

I believe that the government has made a grave error in repealing the curriculum. I trust the teachers of Ontario to use their
professional judgement when teaching my 3 children. Leaving out current issues such as sexting, online bullying, digital citizenship,

being present during these health classes. If Ontarians don’t want their children present, they can excuse them as it is their right.
But remember, it is also the right of parents to allow children to receive quality education that addresses current issues.

I am concerned that an outdated curriculum will be taught to students this Fall and teachers who "disobey" will be punished.
Contrary to what critics of the 2015 curriculum believe, sex education does not sexualize children. Instead, it informs them, teaches
them about consent, is backed by science, and introduces proper terminology into the vocabulary and knowledge of our youth. The
removal of current curriculum takes us back to 1998 – a time before Google, before same sex marriage in Canada, a time before
the #metoo movement. Why can our children not have an informed discussion about their bodies, choices and actions? It’s 2018.
It’s about time we have proper education and dialogue with our youth. If not in a standardized format, woven into curriculum –
which was done with widespread consultation with experts (social workers, counsellors, teachers) alongside parents via our former
government – how do we expect our children to find the information they need? They will still seek it and find it, but it won’t always
be accurate or informed.Children have questions about their sexual health, and it is important that they receive the appropriate
tools and information to make sound decisions and understand their bodies, along with their choices and how to respect their peers.
So in short - yes, I am concerned about the current curriculum being taught in the classroom if it is anything other than the 2015
curriculum.

I am incredibly disappointed that this year my daughter will be taught the old 1998 curriculum. This curriculum is not sufficient for
the issues facing our children now in 2018. We need modern, comprehensive sex-ed. Children need to learn about their bodies,
consent, diverse kinds of families, diverse sexual orientations, and gender identity. All of these things were included in the 2015
revisions and it is a waste of taxpayer dollars that this issue is being revisited again. Please reinstate the 2015 curriculum.

By your invitation for me to express “my concerns about the curriculum currently being taught”, I need it noted that I read the
word “current” in the sense of up until June 2018. I have no concerns about the current Healthy Living and Mathematics curriculae
as they are based on current STUDENT needs. To be clear, there is no 2014 Health curriculum. This is misleading and irrespons ible.
Nor is there “Discovery Math” which is a term the Ford government seems to have invented. Please consider using more direct and
accurate language when seeking public input. My own children experienced the old (1998) Health curriculum and it did NOT meet
their mental and sexual health needs the way it needed to. My children have needed extensive therapy since adolescence as they
tried to navigate a new landscape of social media and digital information that was not considered in curriculum written for a 1998
child. A strong component of their therapy has related to such issues as sexual identity, sexual consent, sexual and emotional
assault by peers, and how to cope with anxiety and depression. With the sudden influx of social media and changing digital
information available to children since 1998, reverting to this old health curriculum is a Public Safety Issue. Rolling back this clock is
dangerous and unnecessary since the updated 2015 curriculum is based on current, RELEVANT research, along with extensive
parent consultation, along with experts across fields. What a ridiculous thing to make changes so sweeping and abrupt. This is
entirely political and transparent. Our kids need to know about sexual consent, names of their body parts, gender identity,
masturbation, same-sex relationships, cyber bullying, and how to protect their mental and physical health in 2018 and beyond.

The 2015 curriculum was developed with careful thought and consultation. I have absolutely no problem with it and the language of
your feedback takes an immediate negative context by asking the public to address our “concerns”. Are you only looking for
negatives? As the aunt and friend of gay and transgender youth, I take great issue with not keeping positive LGBTQ conversation in
the curriculum. There was enough wide range consultation and to seek a different response, most probably from your base is short
sighted and a waste of tax payer’s dollars

My concern with the "current" curriculum that the Ford government has dictated should be re-instated is that it was not developed
in this millennium. 1998 is the year I graduated high school. The 1998 curriculum says nothing of social media, cyber-bullying,
sexting, consent, gender, tolerance, inclusivity, and it delegitimizes LGBTQ kids as humans, fomenting self-loathing and devaluing
their worth in society. I'm not okay with a curriculum so out of touch with modern societal norms that would try its best to foist us
back 20 years.The 2015 curriculum has my full and wholehearted support, as do the teachers who do such an amazing job of using
it to help our kids become wonderful, thoughtful, valuable, inclusive humans.

Hello, I am so grateful you have put this together to hear feedback and that you have put the curriculum change on hold. This is
not a complaint about a school or what they are teaching, just more of a general letter about the topic. I'm hearing a lot of
instances where gender dysphoria is being promoted, , I am naturally very concerned by this.I think it's funny how there was such
a urgency to teach topics like gay sex and transexualism, while disregarding some subjectively more important sex-Ed topics. For
example, many women my age (20-24) have serious confidence issues related to the way their breasts/nipples and vagina/labia
look. We were never taught how different they could appear and now we have a generation that is getting cosmetic surgery to fix
something that is normal already.You are on the right tract with reviewing the sex-Ed curriculum and I just hope you incorporate
learning experiences that will lead to successful, healthy adults.

I am extremely concerned that you are deciding to reinstate a 20 year old health curriculum. I have 3 daughters. I do not know
their sexual orientation, gender identity, etc as they are and they are free to learn and grow in their own ways, including self
expression. However I do know that the 2015 curriculum addresses these issues. It also addresses consent and other issues not in
the 1998 curriculum. ALL children must learn about consent and LGBTQ issues for their safety. As well as internet use, etc. If a peer
of my daughter does not learn about consent and tries to rape her, you better be damed sure my girls will know their rights and will
respond accordingly. ALL children NEED a relevant curriculum. You can NOT trust all parents out there to educate their kids about
Health Education. MANY don’t ever discuss it. Is is a MUST in schools where we can ensure our children are taught truths and
safety. Wake up. It is 2018. I will fight this curriculum change as it impacts my children greatly. Teachers are professionals and I
support them 100%. I expect them to continue to teach the 2015 Health curriculum.

I just wanted to write to say how important and thorough the 2015 sex ed curriculum has been. It was developed based on a wide
range of psychological, sociological, and pedagogical research and in consultation with many community groups throughout the
province. In particular LGBTQ youth are some of the most at-risk youth in Canada, and need to be represented in the curriculum.
Even a cursory glance at the literature shows how the prejudices of homophobic and transphobic parents lead LGBTQ youth to end
up homeless at a rate far higher than that of other youth (see: Ilona Abramovich (2012), “No Safe Place to Go LGBTQ Youth
Homelessness in Canada: Reviewing the Literature,” Canadian Journal of Family and Youth, 4 (1)). The least we can do as a society
is to refrain from neglecting and pathologizing them in the classroom as well. Knowing that they're not alone keep people alive to
someday thrive. This is not hyperbole. A recent survey of trans issues in Alberta found that almost 65% of trans youth have
considered suicide (see: Wells, Kristopher, H. Frohard-Dourlent, E. Saewyc, et al., Being Safe, Being Me in Alberta: Results of the
Canadian Trans Youth Health Survey (Vancouver: Stigma and Resilience Among Vulnerable Youth Centre, 2017), 2.)That said, I
know governments are seldom phased by evidence or humanity. Still, I hope you working for the Government of Ontario may take
this to heart in some way.

unacceptable that the reason for revoking the updated health curriculum is to score political points, with no consideration for the
education and safety of the children in the school system. The school system does not exist as a negotiation tool for politicians; it is
an institution which ought to give children guidance using the best and most up-to-date information possible and to work in tandem
with parents and communities to prepare children for real-world experiences, including higher education, employment, and
interpersonal relationships. The health curriculum update should not be abandoned because the realities of the world make some

I am writing as a concerned citizen in regards to the changes to the sexual education curriculum that Lisa Thompson has recently
proposed. The decision to reinstate the 1998 curriculum would be disastrous, dangerous, and irresponsible. The curriculum
reinforces ideas of shame and negativity toward basic bodily functions, encourages toxic power dynamics in relationships, and
ignores basic tenets of consent.When I was a young woman growing up in Ontario, I was not taught about consent, body
autonomy, or agency. This directly fed into how men treated me, and how I allowed myself to be treated. I cannot even fathom the
impact the curriculum had on my LGBTQ+ classmates. The sexual education curriculum that was instructed in the public schools of
my youth was misinformed, exclusionary, and made a number of damaging assumptions, even about gender-conforming,
heterosexual students. It does a great disservice, as well, to the men in the classroom, who go on to believe their inappropriate
behaviour is acceptable. Even today, young professionals who work in sexual health education were indoctrinated by a sexual
education curriculum that is nearly as old as they are, one that relies heavily on religious and socially conservative values that
simply do not reflect the modern diversity of this province. There is sufficient (and indeed excessive) evidence to suggest that
inclusive and representative sexual education programs are beneficial to students and parents alike. Not only that, but there are
legal and social precedents in this country and in this province to back overturning the decision to revert to a curriculum from the
90s.Changing the curriculum to eliminate these essential ideas would be abhorrent and unacceptable.

abhorrent, only serving political goals promised to a small (but vocal!) minority of stakeholders less interested in educating the
children on Ontario and more interested in supporting a conservative ideology that is out-of-touch with the realities of the 21st

I have grave and significant concerns about the provincial government’s direction to parents to report teachers who may mention
topics ostensibly only covered by the 2018 sex Ed curriculum and not covered by the outdated interim curriculum they have
imposed. As a parent and tax payer I feel this ‘for the parents’ push is a misuse of public resources, the College’s resources are,
and should be, focused on and committed to receiving and responding to legitimate and serious concerns and complaints from
parents about misconduct of teachers or school board officials. The notion of reporting and policing the topics that teachers may
discuss with their students, perhaps even in response to explicit questions which they ethically cannot and should not avoid, is
terrifying and Orwellian. I have concerns about the broader impacts this would have on teachers’ ability and confidence in being
able to teach and engage in meaningful dialogue and discussion in a classroom setting where the underlying principles of respect,
dialogue/debate and critical thinking should permeate above all and throughout all objectives and mandates of provincial curricula.

We used to teach that the world was flat, but then we changed it even though people thought we were crazy. Then we were taught
smoking was good for our health but we changed that too, even though companies would lose money. Then we were warned about
global warning and we haven’t done much to change that, and we are in trouble. Changing our education as times change is a good
idea. Don’t be hesitate of change. Don’t be scared of girls being empowered. Don’t be scared of a healthier, more accepting future.
The kids are ready whether you are or aren’t. Do we want them learning the right things in a classroom or the wrong things on the
internet?I’m scared for the future you’re bringing to our youth.

Repelling the 2015 sex-ed curriculum leaves children woefully unprepared for navigating modern society. It's truly ridiculous that
children are not being taught about same-sex relationships, which are common and legal, or consent or sexting. This knowledge
helps kids stay safe and make informed decisions about their bodies and relationships. I'm outraged that the Ford government
wants to put children at risk by refusing them full and comprehensive sex education. Shame on you.

It is dangerous to use a sexual education curriculum from the 1990's. This knowingly endanger kids through neglect, by not
teaching them essentials about the realities of being a young sexual being. Sexting is a thing, folks. And NOT talking about it is
dangerous. You're not giving children essential tools and knowledge that will help them navigate this reality in a way that keeps
them safe.Likewise, not talking about LGTBQ is danger. The 1990's curriculum fails to provide support to young LGBTQ kids who
need it at a critical time. We're talking about preventing suicides, here. Like, hello!??!?! Kids are dying. And you're worried about
whether they'll be good little Christian or not. Puh-lease.It's flawed logic to think that:1. NOT talking about LGBTQ will make it go
away.2. Talking about it will "make" a student LGBTQ. As though, if they hadn't heard about it sex ed, they wouldn't realize it's a
thing and so would stay straight. This is so illogical.

I am concerned that the current curriculum is being used as a political wedge. The content was created in a manner consistent with
other school subjects -100% of parents are not consulted on any subject’s curriculum - and was not written as part of a secretive,
partisan process, as the current administration publicly argues. Education, particularly that which protects children from sexual
abuse, should never be used as a political tool. This in itself is shameful. The idea that parents will fill the gap in education is
unrealistic. Many parents leave sexual education up to schools and do not themselves teach their children. Others may raise their
children more ideologically. It is important to have a comprehensive sexual education in public schools based on expert consensus.
Experts decide other subjects’ curricula and no one minds this. Realistically, children will fill the gaps in their sexual education from
the internet, including from online pornography. This alone is reason for schools to keep on top of a modern sexual education
curriculum. I hope the current administration realizes this matter should not be politicized, listen to those who are more learned on
this subject, and move on to the more pressing issues our province is facing.

education to groups that support discrimination on the basis of gender and sexuality, or groups who wish to censor information

As a Christian family in 905-area Toronto, we strongly support the advanced and carefully derived-curriculum that has been taught

for the world they encounter now and in the future due in no small part to the curriculum they have received from our public school
system. We are deeply opposed to the recent regression to previous forms, and are frankly baffled at how the new Ontario
government thought it could first revert to 1998, admit that was wrong, then go to a 2010 revision, and then admit that more
consultation was needed. Political cock-ups are not new to Ontario, but the Ford Tories are lowering the bar every week, even while
parliament is in recess. Please don't use our children, (as the premier put it) "as pawns for grandstanding and political games" -

The reversion of the sex ed curriculum and cancelled updates to the Indigenous curricula are detrimental to all Ontario students. It
is unfathomable that we would teach children as if they lived in a time long before gay marriage was legalized, before social media,
and before events like the Ghomeshi Trial. Parents are, as they always have been, able to request that their child not be present in
the classes that discuss any subject matter with regards to sex education that they are uncomfortable with or do not support. When
there are options ready for those who are in disagreement, it is irresponsible to refuse countless students the opportunity to learn
what this updated curriculum offers. Along with the restoration of the currently used sex ed curriculum, I am asking for the
reinstatement of the government's commitment to the Indigenous curricula in Ontario. It is the responsibility of all Canadians,
regardless of age, to continue to engage with Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) recommendations. To take this
conversation out of the classroom is to deny young students that possibility. This regressive approach to inclusion does not
represent the concerns and needs of many Ontario residents.This is what is best for the future of Ontario and all of our children

An election platform does not constitute an equivalent consultation process. It should be expected that elected officials consult on
issues including their own staff and teachers before making decisions to change items such as curriculum. Please address the
incompetence and misconduct occurring by elected officials who are making decisions they are not qualified to make. Surely there
are other topics within the curriculum which could be addressed assuming an appropriate consultation period was offered. Similar to
the consultation which occurred under the previous government regarding sexual education.

I am concerned that consent, sexuality, cyber security, mental health, gender identity and other information from the 2015 health
and physical education curriculum is not being taught at schools in Ontario. Children need to be taught the information necessary to
be safe and well-informed in the 21st century The 1998 (or 2014 curriculum as the PC government is calling it) is a disservice to
children and making them vulnerable. Yes, parents should be teaching this information but not all parents/guardians do. And not all
students have parents/guardians, or parents/guardians who are informed or willing to share this information. Both
parents/guardians AND teachers can teach this (as well as other subject areas).

I am very concerned the new provincial government is reverting back to the old, outdated 1998 Physical Health & Education
curriculum. Our province's children deserve to be PROTECTED from online predators. They deserve to UNDERSTAND how to protect
themselves from STIs and unintended pregnancy. They deserve to be given the tools to GIVE or REFUSE consent for any contact.
This government needs to listen to sexual health experts, medical experts and responsible parents like myself and continue to
endorse the 2015 Physical Health & Education curriculum. Anything less is a slap in the face to your citizens and is hiding from your
responsibilities.

The updated sex ed curriculum introduced by the previous government was a much welcomed and needed change. My children
have had nothing but excellent feedback and have expressed how excellent it has been to learn current information and have
proper discussions about families, sexuality, gender - rather than the misinformed nonsense they heard previously in the school
yard. I am extremely concerned as a parent that my children are going to be robbed of such an important part of their education by
a completely backward, outdated, misinformed and misguided Rob Ford directive.It is appalling to think that we are taking such a
huge step backwards, and that a "Tattle Tale" site would be created to "squeal" on our outstanding teachers who are taking a stand

Going back to a 1990s curriculum is ridiculous! Children have far more access to technology and they need help analyzing and
responding to what they see on a daily basis. They need to know how to react when they're being preyed upon by online predators,
how to resist peer pressure to "sext" and what constitutes consent. Unfortunately, too many parents aren't teaching them these
things, either because they don't have time, they're unaware of what's going on, or they are technophobes. And it doesn't matter if
religious people don't like it: there are homosexuals and transgendered people. There just are. And kids who are experiencing these
feelings should have some notion of how to deal with them.

I have no real concerns about the current curriculum. I do feel like we could do a better job of teaching students about Indigenous
history and the issues that indigenous people face in this day and age. However, I would like to know why the government thinks
that diversity, inclusion, tolerance, consent, abuse prevention and internet safety are not important topics for our children to learn.
I would also like to know why a government that campaigned on the promise of fiscal responsibility is scrapping the most widely
consulted curriculum that Ontario has and is promising to spend money to consult on that same topic.One more thing, why are we

At summer camp my children were participating alogside transgender and non-binary campers who were identifying as young as 4
years old. It is important to me that they be prepared for these complex situations in their school classrooms, from Kindergarten to
graduation. They should be taught to respect and support their classmates, and the non-traditional families that are in every school
community. I would also like to see more indigenous culture and history in the whole curriculum, in particular respect for elders and
the environment as teachers. I think Math teachers should be determining the best way for children to learn mathematics, and that,
while I am interested in my children's education, teachers are best equipped to determine curriculum.

should be to pass a standardized test that includes math up to grade 9 so we ensure teachers and qualified. This will also eliminate
the amount of unemployed teachers in the province - basically make it much harder to become a teacher or use specialized
teachers for math and science and not some gym teacher. Also this learn by yourself method that is currently being used does not
work. My child struggled a lot in elementary school. Once I explained math the way in which I was taught (the old and CORRECT
way) and told her to ignore everything the teacher was saying her marks exponentially improved. Students from Alberta for
example are much stronger in school than those from Ontario. They were the top students in my engineering program having
already learned curriculum up to second year university back when they were in high school. We should be turning to them.

I am deeply concerned that students receive a comprehensive sexuality and physical health education. Today's children and youth
must learn not only basic anatomy and physiology, but also have an understanding of the complex nature of sexual and gender
relations in society. They must understand gender as a social construct. They must understand how both nature and nurture affect
how we express gender. They should have an understanding of all related terminology before puberty, including acronyms, such as
LGBTQ2S, queer, trans, transfeminine, transmasculine, agender and others as appropriate to the youth and their community.
Before completing their highschool education, they should also have a basic understanding of how the human rights code(s) have
changed to accomodate and respect different sexualities and genders, a basic history of the legal changes in the last century, and
similar topics. They should have had an introduction the important figures in these changes including people like Pierre Elliott
Trudeau who changed laws related to sexual practice, among many others.They must understand sexuality, both in terms of sexual
behaviour and sexual expression, and the related issues of consent. They should be able to describe the mechanisms of sexual
pleasure in the male and female bodies. They must have a good understanding of relationships, how they develop over time, how
they change throughout the lifecycle, and how society supports the development of sexual, romantic and platonic relations. They
must understand consent. They must have a good basic understanding of the legal issues related to consent, and of the impact of
sexual abuse and assault. They should be given opportunities to receive support and counselling for past or current sexual abuse,
and assault. They should have a basic understanding of related psychological terms including concepts such as anxiety, depression,
PTSD, complex-PTSD, vicarious trauma, dissociation, dissociated identity disorder, paedophillia and other similar related issues and
conditions. All children and youth must have a good understanding of the female reproductive system, the changes during puberty
and throughout the rest of the natural lifecycle. They must understand the ovulation cycle, menstruation, and menopause, including
hygiene, menstrual blood collection products. They must understand how conception occurs, how to support and how to prevent
conception, how to prevent pregnancy, early signs and symptoms of a healthy pregnancy, as well as variations such as miscarriage
or spontaneous abortion. They must have knowledge of the processes used to identify a pregnancy, and various decision-making
tools to use when a pregnancy is unwanted, now or ever. They must know about the laws surrounding abortion, about accessibility
issues, consent regarding abortion, the various abortion procedures including when and where they may safely be used. Ideally,
they should visit public health clinics including sexual health clinics and abortion clinics as they are available in their respective
communities. Where they are not available virtual tours should be included in the curriculum. They should have a basic
understanding of the history of birth control and abortion.Children and youth should have some understanding of reproductive
technologies including insemination, in vitro fertilisation, surrogacy and issues related to these technologies including the use of
donor sperm, donor eggs; legal issues related to creating families including those with single parents, same sex parents, and
different sex parents. Children and youth should have basic to intermediate understanding of pregnancy/gestation, labouring and
birthing, and the early postpartum before they complete puberty, ideally before physiological maturity or approximately 14 to 16
years of age. They should be introduced to the various primary care providers in the childbearing year - physicians and
obstetricians, nurses and nurse practitioners, midwives, doulas, and lactation specialists. They should have a basic to intermediate
understanding of the emotional changes throughout the childbearing year in the woman and in her family. All children and youth
should have an understanding of the male reproductive system, its anatomy and physiology, changes with puberty and across the
life-cycle; and effective tools to prevent and transmit infection, the use of condoms, and research related to the male contraceptive
pill, as well as other related male health issues. Children and youth should be encouraged supported to speak with family about
what they are learning. They should be encouraged to reflect on their learning in the subcontext of their religion or spirituality and
cultural practices.All children and youth should be exposed to ideas about sex and gender across the religious and cultural
spectrums. Controversial issues should be explored with care, but must be addressed so that by the time students leave the
highschool setting they will have necessary knowledge and skills to communicate their personal and familial spiritual and cultural
values or mores, explain the foundation for them, and how they compare to dominant Canadian values.

I completely oppose conservative government’s decision to repeal the modernized sex Ed curriculum. I have spoken to staff in your
office previously about this. The old curriculum is antiquated and any curriculum that does not address consent, same sex
relationships, gender identity and the online world which is full of sexual content at the click of button, as well as sexual predators
and platforms that allow for harassment and bullying, is denying our children - MY CHILDREN- critical information and dialogue that
they and their peers need in order to safely navigate the world in 2018. The governments say that parents should cover this with
their kids. But Ontario parents have said that they want schools to help with these challenging topics. And I can talk to my
daughter, but what about the boy or girl that she may end up with alone in a room or online whose parents haven’t had discussions
with them about consent or bullying. I can’t teach those kids. PUBLIC SCHOOLS create the common ground on every subject,
parents can then take on the role to support their child to excel. The government also say that there was not enough consultation
on the new curriculum, but I asked my MPP’s staff (Robin Martin) to provide me with a comparison - what is enough? What has
been done to consult on other new curriculum in the past 15 years in Ontario? I have not received and response from her staff, but
I believe that in fact there has already been more consultation on this piece of curriculum than ANY other new curriculum that has
EVER been introduced. If this is wrong, The government should provide me with the evidence. If it is true, then The government’s
new consultation process is a HUGE misuse of public funds and resources. It is wasteful and ideologically driven, rather than being
fiscally responsible, which is probably the only platform on which the Conservative party ran that had any value or merit and yet
you are not practicing this. Moreover, I have grave and significant concerns about the provincial government’s direction to parents
to report teachers who may mention topics ostensibly only covered by the 2018 sex Ed curriculum and not covered by the outdated
interim curriculum that has now bee. imposed. As a parent and tax payer I feel this ‘for the parents’ push is a misuse of public
resources. the Ontario College of Teachers resources are, and should be, focused on and committed to receiving and responding to
legitimate and serious concerns and complaints from parents about misconduct of teachers or school board officials. The notion of
reporting and policing the topics that teachers may discuss with their students, perhaps even in response to explicit questions from
students which they ethically cannot and should not avoid, is terrifying and Orwellian. I have concerns about the broader impacts
this would have on teachers’ ability and confidence in being able to teach and engage in meaningful dialogue and discussion in a
classroom setting where the underlying principles of respect, dialogue/debate and critical thinking should permeate above all and
throughout all objectives and mandates of provincial curricula. In short, I think the conservative government’s actions and
approach regarding this curriculum are irresponsible, wasteful, unethical, and frankly frightening. I’m scared for my daughter who
is missing out on critical education, scared for her teachers who will be afraid of open discussion on matters that come up in their
classroom, scared for young people who may be unsure of their gender or sexual identity who will continue to suffer from some of
the highest rates of violence and suicide, and scared for other children whose parents do not feel equipped or prepared to ta lk
about real health and safety issues that our children face in 2018. And this

I am not a teacher. Nor to I work in any way, either directly or indirectly, for any school board. I want my children to learn the
modern curriculum. I want them to be safe, informed, and to live in a society where students understand and respect consent. I
think that children should be made aware of the physical, emotional, and cultural diversity that they will need to navigate as they
grow up in a world of pervasive social media, and complex messages. His opposition to the sex education seems to me to be part of
an opposition to education and critical thinking in general. The only people who benefit from repealing this curriculum are abusers
and bigots. I think it is extremely important for children to be taught the following: Grade 1: hygiene and hand washingGrade 2:
tooth brushing and flossingGrade 3: accepting differences, being inclusive, communicating openly, listening, showing mutual
respect and caring, being honestGrade 4: physical and emotional changes of puberty; review of personal hygieneGrade 5: the parts
of the human reproductive system; strategies to manage stressGrade 6: self-concept, building confidence, recognizing and dealing
with stereotypes regarding gender roles sexual orientation, gender expression, race, ethnicity or culture, mental health, and
abilitiesGrade 7: making decisions about sexual health; communicating about delaying and abstaining from sexual activity,
communicating consent

We need to introduce an opportunity for students to engage in “community based learning” where those interested can learn from
people who have been in their shoes in the recent past. The relationship between the teacher and student is integral to every
students’ success, and with large classes and teachers teaching multiple disciplines, like chemistry, grade 9 science, physics at the
same time, students are often neglected and MANY go through the education system without learning essential skills they need to
succeed.To elaborate on what I mean by “community based learning” consider Pathways as an example. It’s a great organization
but difficult to get in, and many students go through secondary school without even knowing it exists. For topics such as financial
literacy, it’s important for students to truly connect with the “teacher” AND their fellow colleagues who are attending the session for
exactly the same reason. If a high school student is anxious about entering post-secondary and about how they are going to pay for
it, it would be extremely valuable for them to hear from a recent graduate about how they managed their finances and paid down
their student loans. That’s just one example of how financial literacy can be taught in an engaging way that’s truly relevant to what
students are going through!I’m extremely keen on creating an after school program for students to attend financial literacy sessions
for free and hopefully one day we can provide sessions to adults as well. Please contact me if the government is truly willing to
prepare students and young people for long term success. Programs such as ours will help our kids stay off the streets and away
from drug abuse and illicit activity.

accepting of the LGBTQ community, and for our educational system to create an open dialogue for our youth regarding questions
they have about sex and sexuality. Expecting parents (often ill equipped) to provide this type of education is irresponsible.

The current phys ed/sexual health curriculum introduced in 2015 and taught up until the 2017/18 school year is relevant and
necessary. Medical terminology for body parts, diverse family dynamics,avoiding risky sexual behaviours, open discussion regarding
LGTB youth and dispelling myths are important pieces of our student's education. We have these frank discussions in our home, we
know it's not happening in every home. We must take the opportunity to fill in these gaps in students' knowledge. When we all start
with a common base of knowledge we move toward a better understanding of our world as a whole. Parents who don't want this

grades must learn in age appropriate ways about social media, cyber-bullying, sexting, consent, gender, tolerance, and inclusivity.
The 1998 curriculum delegitimizes LGBTQ kids as humans, fomenting self-loathing and devaluing their worth in society. I support
all teachers who teach the 2015 curriculum. We need experts in education to decide what should be included in a curriculum. I do
not want other parents deciding what my child should be taught. If some parents don't like what experts suggest, then they do not
need to send their children to public school.

revise, to one that is TWO DECADES old is the most ridiculous concept ever. This is not helping our children. Parents, teachers, and
school boards WERE CONSULTED in the 2015 document creation. There's a lengthy process to get a new curriculum in place. Does
Doug Ford know about that process? Does he realize that he's wasting MORE money and using all of our children as pawns in his
grandstanding and his political games? Does he realize that we see through his BS and know that this is all a front, to get parents
and the general public to push back against teachers, who are doing what is best for their students every single day in class? Does
he realize that he's using this to cover up all the other BS he's been spewing since before he was elected? No, of course he doesn't.

that it was not developed in this millennium. It does not reflect the interests of the majority of families in this province, unlike the
more current and more fair 2015 curriculum, it was not developed with public consensus. The 1998 curriculum says nothing of
social media, cyber-bullying, sexting, consent, gender, tolerance, inclusivity, and it delegitimizes LGBTQ kids as humans, fomenting
self-loathing and devaluing their worth in society. I'm not okay with a curriculum so out of touch with modern societal norms that

Educating children about current (not archaic) sex education is vital to their development. So many things have happened in the
last 20years. Children should feel safe and know they are getting the best education possible by teaching them CURRENT material.
Apparently Ford doesnt think kids need to be taught current material. He isnt concerned about the well being of children and their
right to know what's going on in 2018. We parents entrust our children in the care of schools. We parents pay school taxes and we
parents need to ensure that our children are being taught proper material. Were not in the 50' where sex is taboo. We are 2018

Sex Ed in the Ont. 2015 curriculum includes the following points which are not in Doug Ford's antiquated 1998 sex ed.1. Real
names for body parts- a change child-abuse investigators have said is necessary. This is in Grade 1. 2. In Grade 3 the kids learn
about same-sex relationships. I think they really learn this on their own when they already have 2 same sex parents themselves or
they see kids picked up at school with 2 same sex parents. This was obvious when my kids . Same sex marriage has long been
legal in Canada. It is downright common. 3. By Grade 4 they learn about consent and being extra careful online. 4. Masturbation is
discussed in Grade 6. Makes sense to me because that's about the time it starts to happen. Might as well understand it. 5. Grade 7
kids are warned about sexting, sexually transmitted diseases and oral and anal sex. I think it is wise to introduce all of this at this
time in an educational environment because today, any kid with access to a phone or computer can see all of this in an
instant.There's more, but those are the most 'controversial' aspects of the program and it all makes perfect sense to me. Unlike
most of the critics, I have read the entire curriculum and frankly, there is a ton of updated health information in it that has nothing
to do with sexuality. The people who are objecting are living in a pretend world where kids aren't already exposed to this stuff from
many sources. Let's keep sex ed smart and make sure our kids get the facts. I am hoping my son, who is now in the Halton Board
is taught the 2015 version.

There is nothing wrong with the updated curriculum. It actually teaches about the human body, about what to call body parts and
about what children are actually wondering about. It doesn't keep them wondering about their bodies and if what is happening to
them "normal". The people who are freaking out about this new curriculum have never actually read it. They are parroting points
told to them by their so-called leaders that are inaccurate. Getting rid of the new curriculum is doing a major disservice to our
future generations. Kids should be taught this at home? Sure, I'll agree with that. But they're not. They are being kept in the dark
about their own bodies by ignorant parents who are too afraid and/or uncomfortable to properly address their children. The premier
should stop listening to squeaky wheels and actually read the curriculum himself and then make a judgement.

I am appalled that the provincial government is making the horribly ill advised move to take away the carefully crafted sex ed
curriculum and suggesting it can be replaced with the older completely inadequate one. Allowing religious considerations to impact
public school curriculum in completely unacceptable. Our children live in a secular society and need to be educated to be safe and

I find it disconcerting that the provincial government would propose to use an outdated programme from 1998, barely patched up
to 2010, in place of a thought out and researched programme that was developped with consent from parents.This is simply
grandstanding from the PC party to appeal to a small party base who wish to return to the halcyon days, where we literally did not
know any better and before any of the modern day complexities existed. I am enraged that my tax dollars are being wasted in this
manner, especially when this government promised to improve overall efficiency.

I am greatly concerned that the progressive and well-researched curriculum put in place by the Liberals is now being pulled out.
They need to learn the proper names for their body parts. They need to know about gender identities and sexual diversity. My kids
come from an LGBT home. They deserve to hear about their family structure in the classroom. As a survivor of sexual assault, I
also feel it is crucial that children learn about consent, as well as bullying and social media. I am enraged that these topics are
considered questionable by the current administration. I am also enraged that parents are being encouraged to tattle on teachers
who feel it is important to teach these topics. I will stand in full support of any teacher who decides to remain with the previously
updated curriculum rather than the garbage being proposed by the conservative government.

The curriculum implemented by the previous government must remain in all schools. Every child has a right to be taught the reality
of today's society. Any parent who disagrees with their child learning that it is ok to be different should home school their children.
By choosing to retract the curriculum you will cause harm to children who rely on the education system. Education is more than
math, science and reading skills...it is about teaching them to function in this society to the best of their abilities and providing a
path to success. I fully support the educators in my children's school. They have been doing a fantastic job for many years. The
current PC/Ford government still has a lot to learn with only a few months on the job. I do NOT support the proposed changes to
revert the sex-ed curriculum back to the previous version.

The Algoma community is not a large one, let alone has much diversity in sexualities. It is important for students to learn what is
normal, and not normal for themselves. A lot of the communities don't have such help in accessing this information, it is important
to learn in the class room. We cannot go back on a curriculum when we know for a fact that there is more out there and it needs to
be taught. Whether they use the information or not, at least they are educated on it properly rather than the false information
stated online.

The 2015 update to the curriculum was not enough as far as I’m concerned. It was based on science and medicine not religious
beliefs. Religious beliefs are not meant to take away from education. I have actually taken the time to read the curriculum from
front to back unlike the religious nut jobs who are fighting it. As far as I’m concerned it still didn’t cover enough. We live in a day
and age where everyone has a smart phone in their pocket and a world of knowledge at our finger tips but this isn’t good when a
child can learn about sexual health the wrong way. Stop trying to appease religious groups who don’t care about child rape. Who

as other important issues that are stated in the NEWEST curriculum (2015), however, I realise that my children may not be
comfortable coming to me with all of their questions. Teachers are available to answer these questions without judgement, and to
TEACH them. I have full trust in my children's teachers that they will echo what I teach them about what it means to be inclusive of

I feel a lot of the concerns over the new curriculum are unwarranted. We live in an ever diversifying society, and the updated
curriculum reflects that. Stepping back from the new curriculum could expose the Ontario government to costly law suits based on
discrimination. Both the Canadian Human Rights Act and Ontario's own Human Rights Code prohibit discrimination based on sexual
orientation. By omitting sexual education regarding non-heterosexuality, we would be discriminating against homosexual, bi-sexual,
pan-sexual people. And discussion of attraction or sexual activity must include these sexualities. Anything short of that is
discrimination.

My daughter asked the sex education teacher what sexting was and the teacher said she is not allowed to teach students what

is. Which was an awkward experience to say the least.What is the point of having sex education if the teachers don't even answer
the questions lf the students? They are supposed to teach these things so we parents don't have to.When I complained to the
teacher she said Doug Ford reversed the curriculum and that they are not allowed to teach ANYTHING about sexting and other
topics that isn't covered in the old curriculum. So if a student asks a question about those topics, they are now apparently saying
"Go ask your parents."And if I have to answer these questions, for which I am not qualified, then I have to google it... and lets just
say there are certain topics I would rather not be googling.But I don't want my daughter googling those topics either.So if the sex

I am incredibly concerned that our ministry of education is planning on punishing teachers if they continue teaching the 2015 health
and physical education curriculum. The curriculum was well researched and was developed with a lot of public consultation. As a
parent, I loved that this curriculum gave teachers a way to talk about human sexuality in all its layers and complexities. It gave
small children the tools they needed to speak up about the safety of their bodies. It gave older students a way to think about their
own sexualities and identities in a non-judgmental manner. Now my kids are going to be taught using an outdated curriculum that
addresses none of this? Not all parents are capable of doing this, and in fact many are still homophobic, transphobic, or unwilling to
acknowledge the importance of sexual health. I support any teacher using the 2015 curriculum.

Furthermore, to set up a snitch line to report teachers who teach the correct curriculum is what a despot does and I hope your
snitch line is flooded with calls and reports because it will mean that teachers are doing their duty to their students. In short, this is
a regressive policy based only on misinformation and not science and I hope every single teacher in this province will ignore the

I have been exceptionally pleased with all of the professionals that have worked with my sons and I find it EXTREMELY offensive
that our government has set up a snitch line that allows highly qualified professionals to be targeted in this way. If a parent has a
complaint about a teacher, they should behave like an adult and approach the teacher or the principal to discuss their concerns. It
concerns me greatly that this government is tossing decades of educational research out the window in order to placate a group of
individuals who have no educational qualifications. Back off and let the professionals do their jobs.

instruction to help students from grade 3 and up better understand essential concepts such as consent, appropriate use of social
media, multiple gender identities and how to stand up (in person and especially online) to bias, hate speech, harassment,
objectification and assault. Our youth need more science based lessons on body positivity, dysphoria, gender fluidity and strategies
for managing mental health. Our young people need reality-based, modern healthy knowledge to help them cope with the images,
behaviours & concepts of racism, sexism, misogeny & worse that they face. They need real world tips for managing assault &
bullying. The 2015 curriculum is a good start but we need to go much further!

Initially I would like to express my concerns with your question. If by the current curriculum you are indicating the 2015
curriculum, I have no concerns whatsoever. It is age appropriate and we'll researched. On the other hand if you mean the 1998
curriculum which is being implemented, I have many concerns. This curriculum does not address modern concerns, does not reflect
the gender and sexuality spectrum which we now embrace here in Canada, and does not rise to the challenge of helping children
with applicable problems, from internet security and basic bodily autonomy all the way to how their bodies work independently and
with others and how to respect individuals who may be different from themselves. This reversal of curriculum is a disservice to our
children and our society as a whole.

1998 curriculum is that it’s out of date content will allow for more ignorance on parents on what goes on with pre-teen/teens
because if they don’t tell them, it must not be happening. So classrooms will no longer be able to open that discussion door for

discussion of consent, she didn’t know how to say “no,” didn’t know she COULD say no. The boys didn’t know she could say “no”
either. She was pushed much further, much faster into sexual activity than she wanted, because none of our children had the
language to talk about boundaries and consent. She contemplated suicide.Kids will die under this curriculum. They will die, because

This government's decision to revert to an interim document that does not address issues such as consent, is doing an incredible

teachers can fulfill this mandate if they are being threatened by this government if teachers, based on their professional judgement,

I am very concerned that my child will not receive the important information contained in the 2015 health curriculum. This
curriculum helps children respect gender differences and builds an understanding that they need to grant and be granted consent. I
trust that my child’s teacher will deliver the curriculum in a manner that is positive and sympathetic to each child’s needs. Thank
you for asking for my consent on this form.

I am a parent of 4 boys. All my boys have gone through sex ed in their class. They are I had to fill in alot of gaps left with the older
sex ed. The new sex ed hardly anything. I liked knowing that my child got the right information. If sny teacher is forced to teach
my youngest the older versions of sex ed i will be pulling my child out. I have a copy of the new version i will teach him myself. My
job as his mother is teach him to be a better person and grow up to be good man. He needs the information to live in 2018 safely

I am very concerned that my child and other students attending school across the province will be at risk of greater harm due to
the roll back of the 2015 HPE curriculum. The current curriculum put forth by the Ministry of Education to be taught for the 2018-19
school year is limited and does not cover important issues and ways for teachers to address the realities of student's lives and
experiences. Issues of consent, equity and sexual abuse prevention are public health issues and the current proposed curriculum is
lacking what the 2015 curriculum offered students and educators. The Ministry and Government's rhetoric and way they have
approached this issue is also disrespectful of teachers and antagonistic which I feel will negatively impact classroom environments
this school year.

I am very concerned that your government plans to take away this important, necessary curriculum. It is retrograde and dangerous
to go back to the old health education curriculum, knowing that our culture and our kids' learning and living environments have
changed significantly over the past 20 years. I was so happy when the new/current curriculum was introduced, because there are
so many students who will not learn what they need to know at home, and who may suffer as a result of misinformation. The
curriculum is not radical or age-inappropriate. I have reviewed it and my kids have not learned a single thing we would not have
willingly discussed - but not every child has this opportunity to learn basic, necessary facts like accurate terms for body parts, the
many different kinds of families and relationships that make up our world. Shame on you for trying to take this crucial information
away from kids.

Hi there, I'm not a parent but I'm an older brother who has concerns about how you are deliberately maiming our current
curriculum in order to attempt to cater to a conservative voter base. My younger siblings have a right to a proper education and
your action to take away our current sex education curriculum will make life more difficult for all of them. Students have a right to
an up to date sex education, yet your government has decided to remove any new additions from the past years and have ended
on a curriculum with no references to the internet and no explanation of how informed and enthusiastic consent should work.
Students need to learn proper sex education in order to live healthy, happy and safer lives. Sexual abuse decreases when proper
consent is taught. Unwanted pregnancy decreases when students are taught the importance of contraceptives (which should appeal
to you seeing as your government seems to want to hinder people's abilities to have abortions). There is only good that comes out
of a proper sex education. Also: I think you need to look back at school curriculums and read up on world war 2, Because the Nazis
also created systems for "concerned citizens" to rat out political dissenters and those who go against the status quo. In conclusion,
you're hurting children by changing this curriculum and also there's a lot of irony in including consent in the form you have to
submit a complaint but not your curriculum.

"friends" who like the games he is playing. I am not equipped to supervise every minute of his online time. Hearing at school the
ins and outs of online activity and the pitfalls and dangers of online use is something my son is ready for...and he needs it. I can
advise to an extent, but children need reinforcement of concepts such as these from school. They need to hear the messages
alongside their peers in order to reinforce them and to understand this is not just their parent being a nag.It is appalling that my
child will not be taught the health education curriculum that he needs to stay safe and healthy.

The controversial aspects of the sex ed curriculum come in when the social constructivist view of gender (i.e. radical feminist
ideology) is taught to children and teens as if it were a proven fact. It is not acceptable to tell kids that biological gender and
gender expression vary independently of each other, or that there are non-binary genders, or that gender exists on a spectrum.
The “Gender Unicorn” and “Gender Bread” charts are propaganda tools to brainwash children and have no place in a public school

Re: Health (Sex-Ed) Curriculum.I am so impressed by how teachers at my son's school (Sir Adam Beck) approached the health ed
curriculum. We received a letter that clearly detailed topics. It gave us the opportunity to talk to our sons before and after their
learning. There is not a single issue we had - our concern is that all this good material our sons learned is stopping. I grew up on
schools where it was implicitly and explicitly taught that a "normal" family had a married Mom & Dad with a few kids. I'm so glad
my sons won't have to have to re-learn from biases like I did. My oldest son alked about various stages of puberty naturally and he
learned specific examples of consent and issues online and with social media. I can't imagine how a government would think
scrapping an entire curriculum, before new consultations, makes any sense. Of course curriculum should continue to be updated,
but not reversing it to an even older curriculum.

I am a parent and I am extremely concerned. I do agree with the anti-bullying, anti-sexting curriculum but this 26 gender identity
and safe space stuff just baffles me. During WWII we were sending young adults - 18 year old kids to storm the beaches in
Normandy and kill Nazis. People could handle this because they were raised to be tough. Now it's, "I'm offended, I need to run to
my safe space and cry because somebody used the pronoun 'He or She'". What are these kids gonna do when they become adults
working a real job and there is no safe space to run to because a customer called them Sir or Ma'am. What are they gonna do when
some Nazi like Trump declares war on our country, run by a crybaby prime minister? Are they gonna go hide in a closet and cry
until the American soldiers come in, rape and torture them, and throw them into the showers to be gassed by the millions? Trump
has effectively declared a so called "trade war" on us, citing national security concerns. How long before he sends troops to invade.
Getting offended is useless, you have to fight fire with fire, not submit and go cry like a 2 year old, despite what our previous
gender confused premier beleived, who nearly bankrupted the province with this nonsense. I was bullied constantly in school,
verbally and physically and I never once took crap from anybody and I'm a stronger person because of it. Sure I was offended, but
I stood up for myself. If I didn't I wouldn't be alive right now to tell about it. Just so we are clear there are only 2 genders, male
and female. Anyone who goes to a doctor to have their genitals mutilated needs their head examined because last I checked your
gender was determined by your chromosomes. You can be an effeminate male or a butch female but that doesn't change your
gender. I am glad that Doug Ford has disposed with this nonsense, and I'd appreciate it if we could stop adding letters of the
alphabet to describe people who are other than heterosexual. I have noticed the media has started resorting to numbers and
symbols. What the heck is LGBTQS2+????? Stop it already! It's more confusing than quantum mechanics. No wonder children's

youth to access well-informed information about consent, sex, gender identity, and cyber bullying. This curriculum is evidence
based and arguments against it are ignorant to this fact. Please don’t let Ontario go back to 1998, a time when social media didn’t

"I think my eight year old's teacher was giving graphic instructions about masturbation, and that it was being practiced in his grade
three classroom. One day last spring I asked, "What did you do in school today?" And he replied with a filthy song about sticking his
right hand in something, pushing it in and out and moving it all around. Then he repeated the vile action with his left hand, right
foot, and left foot. "That's what it's all about", he sang. It was some kind of Poking or Pokey or something, he said. Please stop this

of the old curriculum. My nephew that just identified this summer as trans, needs to fell accepted and valued as a member of the
school and greater communities. Shame on you for putting all the students of Ontario at risk. I always thought Ontario was great
and was proud to call it home, now I am just ashamed. Also, how dare you set up a web site that allows parents to tattle on
teachers. This is a very dangerous platform. I hope all the unions ban together and destroy the government. The boat is sinking

gender expression and identity vary independently of biological gender. (There is no place in the public school classroom for Alt-Left

woman. If you refuse to teach consent, or talk about rape and how it is bad, you are teaching men it is okay to rape. This isn't
about politics this is about children being able to voice what is happening to them. If you continue to use an outdated system that
has resulted in so many being sexually assaulted then you are continuing to accept that it is okay for children to be sexually
exploited. there is a very real evil in the world and that is the indifference of Good Men, if you remain indifferent to it you are the

need to know consent, sexuality, ect. Otherwise they will continue to be abused because they don't know better like I didn't know.

issues facing today’s students. Let’s look at the lack of teaching and support staff for example to address the behavioral and
educational needs of students in the classroom. These students need more attention and take away teaching time from other
students. It isn’t fair to the students needing more support, nor to those who have to patiently sit through the outbursts.

I am not only a parent but also a child protection worker for CAS. With the changes you have made to the curriculum you are
putting children at risk. Not all parents are comfortable teaching their children the proper anatomical names and body safety but
this is crucial. I have worked investigations where sexual assault has taken place but charges couldn't be laid due to the child not
being able to properly identify what happened to them. Please go back to the previous curriculum to keep our young and vulnerable

I strongly support the continuance of the current sexual education curriculum, and I oppose the wrongheaded return to the

that pertain to digital media. Premier Ford and the entire Progressive Conservative Party should feel ashamed of themselves for

The unveiling of the updated sex ed curriculum was an exciting thing for me to read as the parent of . Consent was now going to be
part of a public discussion with our kids while they were learning about the physical changes in their bodies. Respect for people as
they live their lives was also key. How to deal with sexting and online abusers was also included. Taking this curriculum out brings
us back to human sexuality as being a conversation about Fallopian tubes and nocturnal emissions. It helps children not at all when
dealing with abusers, who as awful as it is, are sometimes also the parents or other trusted adult relatives. The announcement that
the province will be going back to the old, outdated curriculum is awful and will do more harm than good, leaving our kids at risk
for dangers they could navigate better if they had the information that is already available in the new, updated curriculum. Keep

approach of attacking teachers first and consulting and studying later will leave children unprepared to deal with modern issues like
relationships, sexting and pornography that I can tell you from experience they will begin to experience at a young age. Garnering

such as gender identity, homosexuality, alternate forms of sex and other mature subject matter do not have a place under the age
of 13/14. Kids are easily impressed upon. Obviously I want my children to be taught tolerance and respect for all people. I just
think, for example, that giving a child a false impression that transgenderism is 'totally normal' is confusing and wrong. Teaching
tolerance and respect but don't normalize a tiny proportion of the population. Just 1 example.

for different ways to say no (like our tickle game where if they say stop, I "respect the no" and stop.). There are things I don't

I have a serious concern about rolling back the sexual and health education curriculum to the older version. This curriculum needed
to be updated, and the 2015 update meant that our children were learning important things that will help to keep them safe in our
current world. Children need to be learning things like the proper scientific names for their body parts, and the body parts of the
opposite sex. They need to be dealing with topics like gender expression and identity in school. Many families are not equipped to
provide their children with exposure to these realities of our world. Schools are. Children need to be learning about cyber safety.
We have seen a huge rise in sex trafficking amongst middle school and high school students. Parents can't keep up with how it is all
working to keep their children safe. Schools can. This curriculum also dealt with bullying, which we know is a terrible issue on the
rise. Children need to be dealing with this topic in a group setting, not only in the home. Only by working through these issues
together will they be able to overcome them together, and teachers, as neutral parties, are in a better position to act as their

money, and is simply the “Ford Nation” pandering to the ultra-conservative voters. Parents, teachers, students and experts had all
already been consulted. Why are we doing this again.

I think the government is treading on VERY dangerous territory. The schools are no longer able to prepare children for the new,

across the province are banning together: doctors, nurses, social workers, school boards, teachers, parents to say please do not
make changes...a small, minority group wants the change. There is something wrong with this picture. Are we not a democracy, or

conversation at home as a follow up. I feel that the government has been untruthful with the public by saying parents were not
consulted in the creation of the 2015 document. I was actually part of the email solicitation for input. Further to say we are going to
go to the 2014 curriculum will be used is false as it's really the 1998 document. I fully support our educators to use their

The fact that you are forcing teachers to teach a sex ex curriculum from 1998 is completely ridiculous. You are not listening to

parents have made it clear that they agree with the 2015 curriculum. You need to let our teachers do their jobs and keep your
ignorance out of my child’s classroom. And for the love of God, stop stupidly referring to the curriculum as the “2014 curriculum”. It
is 1998 curriculum that was still being taught long past it’s relevance in 2014. That you keep trying to pass it off as a more recent
curriculum is shameful. You are an absolute disgrace and I am ashamed I would sincerely hope that the college of teachers would
not support any kind of disciplinary action against its teachers if they have the courage to continue to teach the proper curriculum
to our children. Signed: who is going to be negatively affected by this terrible decision.

of LGBTQ populations historically, it seems to me it is the responsibility of educators to compensate for this, so teaching 15-20%

age-appropriate information in a way that my kids understand and appreciate. The government seems to be pandering to a
minority of parents who have ideological or conservative religious views contrary to what is being taught. These parents have other
options (e.g., withdrawing kids from these specific classes) and should not be allowed to endanger my children or public health

I'm not a parent, but I am an uncle of Ontario students. I don't want them to be taught outdated curriculum. I want them to be
prepared with healthy information about consent and sexual orientation and gender identity. I want them ready to live in the
current world. I want them to be able to avoid the pitfalls that my generation experienced because we had inadequate sexual
health education.Up-to-date and accurate sexual health education is what our young people need, starting early.

I have a young son who will be entering JK in 2020, and I want to ensure that he will receive up-to-date, relevant, comprehensive
health education. I am gravely disappointed with the decision to revert to the 1998 curriculum, for a number of reasons. 1: Studies
have shown that children who do not learn the names of their body parts are at a higher risk for sexual or physical abuse, and have
a lower rate of sharing that abuse with a helping figure. Withholding basic information about body parts puts children at risk.2. I
believe that teaching children about consent is paramount to health. For younger children, knowing they have ownership over their
bodies can be a protection against unwanted touch; for teenagers and young adults, the ability to ask for, receive, withdraw, and
negotiate consent is as much a part of sexual relationships as learning about birth control or pregnancy. This is a skill that should
be taught in school, in the same way schools teach how to write a resume or how to play soccer. 3. The lack of gender and
orientation diversity in the older curriculum is troubling. Children need to know that trans and queer families exist—they may be
gender non-conforming themselves, or come from a non-traditional family of origin. Failing to talk about this topic means that
queer kids do not see themselves reflected in what Ontario considers a person or a family; don't leave them out. 4. Children are
beginning puberty at younger ages than ever before. Holding off on vital information in the interest of "keeping them pure" or
whatever is simply withholding information. Not every parent is equipped to teach their children the details of sexual development;
not every parent wants to. But regardless of their home life, all children deserve to have access to trustworthy, straightforward
information.5. The world changes. The Ontario government and school system has a responsibility to ensure that their curricu la is
up-to-date and reflect the real world, not the world some people might wish to live in. Going back to an old curriculum means there
are gaps and holes, which will be filled by misinformation, gossip, and simple ignorance. Our kids deserve better than that.

It is absolutely dreadful that the Ontario government believes that educating students with curriculum that was written in 1998 is
appropriate. This is unconscionable. I would hope the college of teachers will support teachers who wish to support the well-being
of their students. Are teachers to ignore questions from students when asked why another child has two mom’s? Or why a little boy
is dressing like a girl? Or do they just ignore and allow students to come to their own conclusion while at the same time allowing
the students who are LGBT2Q to feel like they don’t belong. In 1998 the internet was barely in use by students, now it is rampant.
The 2015 curriculum helps to address these issues. This curriculum was well thought out with input from many sources including
parents. Please support children and their teachers by shutting down this site and letting the leader of our province know it is no
longer 1998!

damaging a lack of age appropriate sex ed is. I know if from being a girl who was sexually assaulted and couldn't name it or know I

ignorance out of my child’s classroom. And for the love of God, stop stupidly referring to the curriculum as the “2014 curriculum”. It
is 1998 curriculum that was still being taught long past it’s relevance in 2014. That you keep trying to pass it off as a more recent

To go back to the 1998 curriculum is stupid. Consent, proper names for body parts, diverse family units, gender id and safety need
to be part of this education. The Ford government has no business interfering in what was an excellent curriculum being taught for

My belief is that all students should be taught the importance of showing respect for all people,regardless of their skin colour,

the unknown. I believe strongly that the 2015 curriculum should continue to be taught as it has been thoughtfully written with
advice from many types of professionals and collaboration from teachers and parents. I hope that my two sons and their
classmates will be able to learn about issues like consent and sexual abuse so that they are able to make wise and informed
decisions as they get older. I also hope that my sons continue to show respect for the hard work of their teachers, who spend

I fully support the 2015 curriculum. As a PARENT in Ontario, I would much rather have a possibly uncomfortable, yet open and
honest conversation with my kids about LGBTQIA issues, consent and cyber bulling than to have them learn from their peers on the
school yard (like I did); but not all parents are educated enough or willing to do so with their kids. I want our kids to be safe,
informed and empowered to make educated decisions when it comes to relationships and sexuality. Whether we like it or not, it
isn’t 20 years ago. Times have changed. Time to stop bowing to religious, bigoted right wingers who don’t have our kids’ best
interests at heart. There are vulnerable kids out there who are being cyber bullied right now. LGBTQIA children who are frightened
and considering/attempting suicide. Kids need to know they are safe expressing their gender identities/sexual orientation at school.
Especially when they might not be safe at home. They need to know what to do when they are cyber bullied. If someone tries to
sext them. Real issues our kids face today, that aren’t going away. Pretending they don’t exist will not help anyone. It’s time to put
bigotry and transphobia aside and do what’s best for our kids. We fought for Bill C-16 to be passed. We’ll fight for the 2015
curriculum to be reinstated as well. Our kids deserve better than this. The SCDSB has been amazing in learning to be an inclusive
and safe environment for our kids to learn in. I’d like to keep it that way, and I know I’m not the only one. Having a snitch line for
bigots to tattle on responsible teachers who actually care about the well being of ALL of their students is disgusting and
reprehensible behaviour. Please stop wasting our taxpayer dollars on trying to go back in time, and fix the schools, update
textbooks, etc instead. Thank you.

The new sex ed curriculum should be brought back, not an out-of-date curriculum that is homophobic, transphobic and does not
properly teach consent or anything to do with social media. I do not want my son's teacher to be forced to teach the old curriculum
and certainly not to be punished for teaching the 2015 curriculum. Beyond the cancellation of the new curriculum, the method of
anonymous complaints about teachers for not adhering to a particular ideology (one that is sexist, homophobic, etc.) is dangerous
and wrongheaded. It is also completely absurd that the regressive conservatives claim a lack of parental input into the 2015
curriculum, which included widespread consultations and study. Do not take us back in time please and let teachers teach the 2015
curriculum!

My concern is with the curriculum change and how haphazardly it is being implemented. There should not have been any change to
the current curriculum until consultations were completed and all stakeholders (parents, school boards and teachers) could have
been properly informed and given a clear curriculum.Ultimately, this decision seems to be made hastily and in the name of scoring
political points. I hope that further changes to my child's curriculum will be done with sufficient time and planning.

Let teachers teach. The new curriculum presented by the Liberal government was a much needed update that reflects today’s

don’t. No I did not vote Liberal. This is not political. It’s common sense.

It it VITAL that children learn about consent, healthy relationships, and the dangers of the internet and the digital age, as well as
same sex relationships, and gender identities in school. This change was widely researched and intelligently dealt with issues Surely
if a parent believes the earth is only 6000 years old we wouldn’t resort to glossing over the entire geological age of the earth and
discipline the teacher for bursting that bubble? Why would we not incorporate the scientific information about health and human
biology into the classroom? This is nothing more than a transparent move to pander to right wing religious voters who remain in the
18th century when it comes to human sexuality. Ontario teachers deserve our support rather than pandering to the whims of
government when it comes to this curriculum. Any teachers not supporting the new curriculum risk the health and well-being of
their students and as a parent I will not stand for it.

sexual assault and teach consent? Children have access to the internet everywhere they go, 12 years olds have killed them selves
because of specialized cyber bullying. And you think a curriculum from 1998 will help? Shame on you. Every suicide, every rape or
sexual assault, every child who’s mental health is harmed from bullying, it’s on you. DO SOMETHING! Bring back the curriculum
that consulted parents AND professionals. At least until you have had time to develop your so called “better solution.” This is a

The 2015 H&PE Curriculum should be the guidance that educators and parents need to trust for our children today. Please do not
revert back to a 20 year old curriculum that does not reflect today's realities. Our school community, including our parents' council,
endorses the most recent and most relevant curriculum and feel that the new consultations will simply confirm the desire of parents
across our province that we must put our faith in our partnerships with experienced educators. Please respect the parents and the

I was a student in the DPCDSB Elementary program from 2000-2010. The world has changed since I was a child, with children
online at a much younger age, leaving them much more at risk for cyberbullying and tons of information. The Health and Sex Ed
curriculum should evolve with the society that students live in, and all information should be presented in a safe controlled
enviornment. It would be a severe disservice to the children to teach them a curriculum from 20 years ago, and I fully support all
teachers who wish to teach the modern version.

Hello,I am concerned about the upcoming school year for our children in regards to the sex-ed curriculum that will be taught. If we
use the sex-ed curriculum from 2010 for grades 1-8, and the curriculum from 1998 for ages 10-12 as Premier Ford has stated, I
fear that it is our students who will suffer the most. In a world of increased use of technology and awareness of other sexua l health
concerns, children may not be taught about issues like sexting, what sexual harassment and abuse are, or what consent is. This
may lead to their harm in the future if they were to be blackmailed, their pictures put on the internet by sexual criminals, cyber-
bullying and even lead to suicide as we have seen in the past. Additionally, it is important that children learn the names and
purposes of their own bodyparts, what is normal and what should be of concern as many parents also lack this information. As our
teenagers come of age, they will attempt to have sex, take drugs or drink alcohol and it is also important that they learn about safe
sex to prevent pregnancy, STDs or the dangers of taken drugs. Finally, I am concerned that there will not be a focus on LGBTQ+
and this may lead to a lack of understanding or acceptance of people who are different than themselves. I hope this can be cleared
up soon by the Ontario government. I am aware that these are also concerns of teachers as we are nearing the beginning of the
year and they are having to look for materials that have long been scrapped as they are not up-to-date.

I am so disappointed in this current government and their decision about the sex-ed curriculum. Years of consultations took place
to establish the one that came out in 2015, that includes parents. I'm not sure who you're trying to accommodate, the regressive
parents who are narrowminded in their opinions around sex? Even your "new" interim curriculum doesn't go far enough in
educating the children on what they need to know in order to make sound decisions about their bodies and relationships. I'm

I want my kids to learn the current curriculum that was introduced in 2014. It was developed after years of consultation and input
from experts in education and sexual health. If there are a small number of parents that are unhappy with it they can ask that their
child not be present for the lessons, which has always been an option. There are people now in power who would want parents to
believe that kindergarten kids are being taught explicit things about sexual intercourse, which we know is not true. That's just fear
mongering. Kids need to learn about consent, sexual health, body norms, sexual orientation, etc. at the ages which the current
curriculum has set out.

I am upset that the government is rolling back the health curriculum to the outdated one from the 90s. Students and teachers
should continue to have discussions about consent, online safety, inclusion and equity. Students need to know proper terminology,
information and knowledge about sexuality. It is absolutely essential that all students see themsleves and their families reflected in
the curriculum. By not discussing non traditional families and not talking about LGBT issues, biases and hatred, we are essentially
making some people feel invisible and we are not reflecting Canadian values and Canadian rights and freedoms to which we are all
entitled. Any parent can opt their child out of parts of the health curriculum, so there is really no need to opt every child out of it.
Keep the curriculum the way it is, don’t bring our province back into the “olden days”, we need to evolve and live in current times.
Let teachers do their jobs, and continue to respond to students with professionalism and the freedom to make educated decisions
on how best to instruct their learning.

As an parent of 3, I have concerns that language of inclusion has been taken too far to the point at which biological distinctions
don’t seem to hold the same weight as it used to. Gender fluidity I fear will create greater confusion for children and is nurturing a
culture that seems to be individually focused without public accountability. In other words, “be whatever you want”, promotion,
doesn’t prepare students for the real world where guildlines, policies and collective codes of conduct are expected. I also am
concerned that the curriculum has placed the responsibility on teachers to be primary educators, when the parents/caregivers need
to hold that position in collaboration with teachers. Lastly, the introduction of consent, while well intentioned, isn’t directed at an
appropriate age, where their schema matches the curriculum.

I do not like that the curriculum currently being taught will be replaced by a twenty year old document that does not reflect modern
life and the realities currently faced by students in society today. Online safety, cyberbullying, lgbtq and consent NEED to be
discussed with children by professionals, not just parents. The Doug Ford government should be proposing its own way of covering
these topics in an updated curriculum, but until that happens, keep the newest curriculum in place. The old one just isn't enough!

The repeal of modern sex Ed by the Ontario government is greatly concerning to me. I am concerned for all the trans, gay or bi
kids I’ve seen growing up with my own are now at a much greater risk of intolerance and ignorance. Let alone the children who are
currently in grade 1-8 who will not benefit from discussions around consent, and details about sex that are critical as they enter
puberty.I am deeply concerned and want to know that you will still be teaching the kids in my community the modern curriculum to
help them stay safe and understand each other. I don’t want to see suicides increase or abuse or assaults increase because kids
aren’t taught what they really need to know in 2018.

The 2015 sexual education curriculum is a well thought out and age appropriate plan put in place to prepare our children for the
world around them. I support it 100% and am floored that any public official can honestly think that reverting back to the 1998
curriculum is a move in the right direction for our province. Shame on the Ford government for sending our school system
backwards. Shame on them for fostering a hostile work environment amoung those responsible for our children by creating a phone
snitch line. And shame, shame, shame, on the Ford government for taking steps to ensure that all the work we have been doing as
a society to foster love, understanding and acceptance of our LGBTQ youth, some of our most vulnerable children, has gone down
the drain.

My concern is with the new sex-ed curriculum. I understand that many parents want their children to be taught a wide range of
issues that are subject to today’s world. I prefer to teach my daughter about those issues at home. I won’t have a problem with
what’s being taught in the classroom as long as I know in advance what my daughter will be exposed to so her and I can decide
ahead of time whether we feel it’s right for her to be a part of or not. I want my daughter to have the option of leaving the
classroom and not being punished or judged. I want her to have an alternative.

Hello,I am not a parent but am the sister of a parent and thus actively concerned with the education my niece and future
niece/nephew will be receiving.Apparently this is a place I am able to submit complaints about the education being provided. I am
sure the idea is that I tell on all the bad teachers who are teaching the blasphemous 2015 curriculum rather than the holy 1998
curriculum Doug Ford has so generously given back to us.I went to highschool in the late 90's. I was, by all accounts, a "good kid".
I never stayed out too late. I never questioned my parents outside of arguing about doing dishes. And I never, ever, experimented
sexually. I depended entirely on my highschool sex ed curriculum to tell me what I needed to know about my sexuality. In short, I
was the poster child for the 1998 sex ed curriculum.I can say, without any hesitation, that it sucks. A lot. Were I more eloquent I
am sure I could come up with a word better than "sucks", but let's face it, the time for eloquence is over when an official like Doug
Ford is elected. Today I am not unfamiliar with sex, but I certainly am still ignorant of so many things that makes me fear it in so
many ways. I am not blaming the school curriculum entirely. Perhaps I could have gone out more myself. Perhaps I could have
asked my parents. But the fact of the matter remains that the biggest potential resource for me to learn more about my own body
failed me. Were I asked to teach my own children, I would fail miserably.I hear sentences like "well it's a parent's job to teach their
children.". But what if those parents come from a culture of rape? What if those parents are abusive themselves? What if those
parents simply don't know because their own education forbade it? Children need a solid and reassuring resource to learn from. And
as much as we love our children, we are not always adept to teach them everything. For instance, I could not teach my niece
basketball. That's why I am glad for gym teachers. I am quite happy to do that because screw basketball.And here is the thing.
They are kids. When they are denied something, they will seek it out on their own. It does not matter how many parental controls
you put on your internet, they will find a way to find out about sex themselves if they so choose. Would you rather they discovered
it through potentially illegal and dangerous means? Or would you rather at least know the source they are learning from? It is
2018. There is so much potential danger from the internet.At any rate, this space is for a complaint and here it is: I do not believe
Doug Ford is fit to make decisions for this province's children. I would ask you review and discuss his future with this province. I do
not want my niece and potential future children to have to suffer because of one man's cartoonishly crazy motives. So please
consider.Sincerely,

reality and the creation of a timeline in which LGTBQ students are ostracised, abused children won't be able to identify and respond
to abuse, teenagers won't be aware of the protection available to them when they inevitably experiment, students will remain
unfamiliar with their own anatomy, and in general, knowledge that could prevent disease, unnecessary shaming, and psychological
harm will be lost. It's 2018. Put away the time machine and teach the kids properly.

about consent and get the tools they need to identify and avoid sexual predators and abuse. I think my child should learn about
gender identity, healthy relationships and different families so that he can be an inclusive member of the community by learning to
accept all people for who they are. I think consulting parents and communities again after it was already done is a huge waste of
tax payer money. Creating a snitch line reminds of fascism. Shame on you.

curriculum that was taught before the 2015 curriculum update was terrible: one of my classmates suffered a decade of abuse,
because they didn't know the fundamental concepts of consent. I was so happy to see that young students were finally being
taught about consent after the 2015 update.By bowing down and bringing this country backwards to 1998, you are putting people

I am concerned that by removing important parts of the sexual education curriculum, such as topics pertaining to LGBT issues,
sexting/online issues, and consent will lead to gross problems in the future for our children. According to the Massachusetts
Department of education, LGBTQ+ youth are four times as likely to attempt suicide, we simply cannot shove their issues under the
rug for the sake of uneducated bigot's comfort. This is Canada. We are Canadians, we need to act like it. Furthermore, it is
imperative all aspects of our education keep with the times. New technologies are here, and as humans do, we have incorporated
sexuality into them. Kids need to be educated on the dangers of using them without safe practice. I end this with an example from
history. In Mexico, in the early 20th Century, the president tried to put in sex education, as well as permit girls to attend school.
The church and conservatives rounded up every teacher they could find who taught this and killed them. Do not repeat history by
witch hunting teachers who want to do the right thing, you'll only be remembered as the villains you're playing the part of.

To whom it may concern,I'd like to report my suspicion that some teachers are not following the official ("old") curriculum. At
question is each teacher's professionalism and concern for their students' well-being. Some teachers have rejected Premier Ford's
curriculum changes; I believe it is the responsibility of the college to promptly seek out these individuals and cite them for conduct
demonstrating a lack of disregard for the relevant professional standards. Incredibly, for these teachers, our government's policy
(being a harmful, politically-motivated, overtly-bigoted dog whistle) is not enough reason from them to put their students in harm's
way. Is it surprising that some parents are upset? Of course not!A teacher is charged with preparing their students for success in
the world. It is reprehensible when this conflicts with the values of parents; unfortunately there is no college regulating the
latter.One teacher I know for a fact to have shamelessly defied the law of the land is I hope you investigate his conduct, and make
an example of him to staff and students alike.For the children,

Shame on you (The ON gov.) for reverting back to the old sex ed curriculum! Stop pandering to the few voices who are
uncomfortable with sex ed and focus on what is best for the children! Better sex education means less young pregnancies, STIs and

I have no concerns with the curriculum released in 2015, great care was taken to consult the best and brightest in the appropriate
feilds to provide a fullsome sex ed curriculum for ALL children. On top of that many parents were given the opportunity to voice
their concerns, provide feedback and share in the development of this curriculum.The curriculum my child will be taught this year is
exceptionally concerning, it fails on multiple levels to be inclusive for all children, especially the LGBTQ+ who do have an equal right
to sex education. It fails to discuss the current climate around social media, providing safe environments for children. Children
younger than grade 8 are accessing this form of media and are at risk! The September curriculum fails to meet the basic discussion
around consent, we know now that the previous curriculum is not enough, other provinces are increasing their content and Ontario
is currently taking a huge step backwards in the respect. Once and incident of sexual assault happens it is too late to walk it back,
lives are ruined.There is not a single thing that should be removed from the 2015 curriculum, it is a huge waste of my tax dollars to
open this up for a small population of fundamentalists. Sex education must be thorough, it must be inclusive of all students and
parents who themselves who have not had proper sex education are unable to provide this education.

political games." They are introducing an outdated sexual health education curriculum to try and keep the kids uninformed and put
them at further risk of being hurt or abused because the kids won’t understand things like consent, gender identities or the proper
names of genitals. The school itself is great! Unless they change back to the old curriculum. Then I will be extremely disappointed

sexual health and well being because it makes us uncomfortable. We have children entering a scary world full of predators and
access to so much online - it is scary to think we now won’t be preparing them for the language around sexual health. Why go

What a waste of time and taxpayers money this "new" consultation process is. The curriculum that was rolled out in 2015 required
extensive consultation with over 70 different groups + the government + school boards + students + parents. That is more than
adequate. Since when does the public get to consult on the content of curriculum. This does not happen for any other subject area,
nor is it necessary. Studies, research, and real life practice in real life classrooms with teachers and administrators and school
boards is where this information should come from. These are your front-line workers, and these other people who have their finger
on the pulse of Education in Ontario.The 2015 physical education and health curriculum is modern, current, and realistic. It was
well-researched and is well supported, and is known in Canada as one of the most Progressive and comprehensive curriculums
available. To not use it is a travesty.I want my sons that are in to know about themselves, the diversity of others around them, and
that they are safe, loved, and supported. I wish this for all children in Ontario. Going back to a curriculum from 1998 is absolutely
ludicrous. (let's not kid ourselves... this "2014"curriculum the government says it is implementing is simply a version of the 1998
curriculum that was rolled back for further consideration when the government at the time attempted to introduce a new curriculum
in 2010 and met with great resistance at the time. That's all this 2014 curriculum is. You're not fooling anyone.) We will 100%
support our son's teachers this year, and we would encourage them to teach from the 2015 curriculum. That is what is right. What
this government is doing is wrong. You are manufacturing a crisis in education, and that is completely unnecessary. Plain and
simple.

want to revert to. You will be doing the students a disservice. All children need to see themselves in the curriculum and that
includes children of LGBTQ+ parents and the new curriculum made this possible. All children should be taught the dangers of
sexting and how mistakes made in social media platforms when young can impact their future. ALL children should be taught what

I think the 2015 curriculum is a very good start to teach our children the reality of living in the real (21st century) world. Kids need
to know about predators. Kids need to know that they aren’t broken if they don’t fit into the Judeo-Christian version of “normal”
or“Moral”. I will applaud any teacher that continues to teach this material.And yes, I have read the 2015 curriculum and have found
nothing inappropriate. And yes, I have a school-aged child who has been taught this curriculum and has not been warped or
damaged by it. I will not stand aside while his team of bullies try to twist our province into a theocracy. To be clear, I am very

to “convert” them into being homosexual, bisexual, etc.Also, the curriculum addresses pertinent topics that weren’t such a big issue
when the old curriculum was developed (cyber bullying,online predators, human trafficking) .I understand there are some people
that don’t want this curriculum taught and they should have the option to pull their children from the class. I feel it’s a missed

I am concerned that the new curriculum is outdated, and will do incalculably more harm than good. School-aged children and
teenagers are consuming media and information at a rapidly growing rate. They are being exposed to ideas and different lifestyles
they may not experience in real life, but they will have questions about it. They hear about people like Brock Turner, Kevin Spacey,
Agnes Moore, RuPaul Charles, and Laverne Cox. Youth know their stories and what they have done - good, bad and ugly. Students
should be afforded to learn from their mistakes, and be inspired by their victories. Stripping students of this opportunity to learn
how to properly address issues relating to sex is akin to teaching basic manners, like please and thank you. Unfortunately, not
every child learns these things at home. Willing and able parents are met with resistance sometimes from their teenaged children,
and it is the duty of the school to teach the next generation the things their parents can’t or won’t.

The current Health curriculum have been a hot topic for a while so I wanted to know exactly what my daughter and son were being
taught. I’ve read the current and old curriculum and in today high tech world, I feel that we would be doing our children a huge
disservice if we reverted back to the old curriculum. Student will about sex anyway, I prefer that me child learns appropriate
material at an appropriate age and I trust that my children’s teacher will have the professional judgement to do this. Learning how
to navigate the internet, internet bullying and other 21st century issues are essential to our kids. Rather than wasting time with
bipartisan politics, let’s think about what’s in the best interest of our children!

Where do I even start? Returning to a sex ed curriculum that predates mass availability of the internet, access to a device that can
send pictures to literally anyone (including predators and pedophiles), the legalization of gay marriage, the Me Too movement and
clarity of consent.... seems like a terrible idea. I am sick knowing my kids will get the same sex ed that I received. That this
province would put my children at risk by not being able to properly identify their body parts, by not knowing how to deal with a
bully or learn how terrible it is to be one, or by not being able to understand consent. This whole thing is disgusting and to have a
narc hotline on top of it all, seems a little Stasi to me.

their sexuality. They deserve to be taught how to protect themselves from cyberbullying. They deserve to live in an inclusive
society where they are taught to believe that love is love regardless of sexual orientation. I am outraged and disgusted that this
government would take us back into the dark ages. I am horrified that this government would both seek to muzzle teachers and
then declare war on them. The curriculum developed by the Wynn government was created and implemented based on extensive

cancellation of indigenous curriculum writing projects over the summer has destroyed relationships and trust built with indigenous
peoples. I want my children to continue to have their education infused with indigenous teachings and knowledge. I want them to
know the truth about Canadian history. Teachers need to be supported in learning more from native peoples and in changing their

about her sexual health since she was two years old, but as she gets older, I want her to be hearing it from as many caring adults
as possible so that it sinks in. This is her health and safety you are jeopardizing, and that is disgraceful and unforgivable! As far as
addressing same sex relationships and gender identity, this world would be a better place if people just accepted people for who

I have concerns about the rollback to the previous health and physical education curriculum. Extensive consultation with families
and experts in health education has already been conducted and the result of this is the 2015-2018 sex education curriculum.
Rolling back to the previous curriculum is a waste of resources and families' investment in developing a relevant and evidence
based toolkit that ensures our children are taught the importance of issues such as consent and sex based bullying and harassment.
Rolling back the curriculum increases the risk of children not having the tools they need to keep themselves safe. As a mother to a
daughter this is hugely concerning. My parents didn't teach me about consent because it wasn't commonly discussed when I was
growing up. This government is choosing to keep girls and women in the dark about their rights and I know this is one of the aims
of the conservative party. I support both elementary and secondary teachers in their choice to teach the updated sex ed
curriculum. The role of the ontario college of teachers is to protect the public, not to carry out the mysogynistic whims of the

ways about consent, sexual orientation, gender identity and the dangers of cyberbullying, online predators, and sexting. I, as a
parent want a curriculum that protects the mental and physical health of my child by giving him the information and skills needed

belief that the curriculum needs to address violence arising from discrimination on perceived sexual orientation, gender identity and

Are you looking for feedback on the 1998 Health & Physical Education Curriculum or the 2015 Curriculum. I have grave concerns
about the 1998 curriculum! It is outdated and does not cover much of what a child today would find beneficial. However, I have no
concerns whatsoever about the 2015 Health & Physical Education Curriculum that has been taught up until your government got
into office. The 2015 covers everything that children need to know from bullying, cyber safety as well, finally having children learn
about self safety, proper names of body parts, that families come in all forms and it is ok be different. I’m more concerned about
how terrible and homophobic the current sitting Provincial Government is. I take great offence that you, yourself have used

I believe the 2015 sex ed curriculum should continue to be taught. Things have changed dramatically in 20 years. I understand
curriculums need to be updated and changed but this is going back to the Stone Age!!! Kids need to be taught about consent, and
social media, along with LGBTQ. They also need to have better knowledge about themselves, and relationships. It’s hard enough to
be a kid, but, it’s even worse not to educate them with current information!!!

By returning to the 1998 curriculum, how will the Ontario government ensure that all studwentts will receive the same messaging
about consent? Sex without consent is rape. How are you protecting my children and all students in Ontario without this in the

I am a mother of two young children. Ages . I am extremely disappointed in the repeal of the current sex Ed curriculum. Removing
discussion about diversity, inclusion, gender identity, proper body part naming, cyber bullying, CONSENT is unacceptable. As a
parent of two young children, I can tell you these topics are age-appropriate. The current curriculum is well thought out,
researched, evidence-based, practical, and relevant. To create a new curriculum would be a waste of money and time. This attempt
at pleasing misinformed conservative voters is disturbing. And it’s interfering with my children’s education.

I am concerned about the return to an outdated health curriculum from 1998. I have a child in and one in and I think it's shameful
that this government is trying to make important issues secretive for my children (i.e. consent, same-sex relationships, gender
orientation). As for Christine Elliot, I was horrified to hear her suggest that students should speak to their teacher in private about
questions about sex. This is completely inappropriate. I think that a child's questions about sex should be validated by being
discussed in a whole-group setting, so that the child knows that his or her question is normal (and others may learn too). A child
should not be made to think that sex is a shameful, private thing and a teacher should not be put in the compromising position of
talking to a child about sex in private. A teacher can certainly direct students (in the whole class) to ask their parents for more
guidance depending on the age of the child and the question if absolutely essential. Otherwise it should be talked about. The
Catholic school boards helped develop this new curriculum and many parents of Muslim children agree with this new curriculum
(there is a group of concerned Muslim parents for Sex Education in Ontario). If others are uncomfortable, they should continue to
exercise the option of having their individual child removed from health education classes (although this is not in the child's best
interests as the doctors and nurses of Ontario have pointed out). This attack on teachers and the repeal of the updated health
curriculum is shameful and I will not vote Conservative in the next election.

I have a huge concern that the outdated HPE curriculum now being enforced was developed before smartphones were around. That
there’s nothing in it about sexting or cyberbullying, or realistic gender and orientation norms. I’m concerned that birth control and
STIs are the focus of the grade 9 curriculum in the 1998 document when students are becoming sexually active in elementary
school and need this information much sooner than they’re getting it. And I’m concerned that the government is putting my child’s
sexual health at risk because they’re pandering to right wing religious zealots. However, I have zero concerns about the way my
child is being taught, because I have faith in the professional judgement of her educators.

I was taught sex ed under the 1998 curriculum when I was in school, and am very concerned about the fact that this curriculum,
revised or otherwise, is being reimplemented in Ontario schools. Let me explain why. Because of the 1998 curriculum, I was
terrified at 11 years old that I would soon start spontaneously bleeding profusely from my body, because the curriculum did not
leave room to explain what menstruation really means, why it happens, and how it happens, and teachers were not equipped to
provide students with meaningful discussion and exploration of the material being taught. Because of the 1998 curriculum, I didn't
know that it wasn't normal for my body to be in the pain that it was when, at 11 years old, I would start menstruating before all of
my friends did. I was ashamed of my body, didn't know how to handle periods, and walked around school for that first day with
bloodstained shorts because I didn't know what to do about it and didn't know that I could ask for help. The 2015 curriculum would
have better equipped me for that.Because of the 1998 curriculum, I had no education on or real awareness of queer folks and
instead had an ingrained preconception of gay and bisexual people as dirty, confused, and monolithic, an attitude that would keep
me from accepting my own sexuality for almost ten years. The 2015 curriculum would have taught me that everyone has different
lived experiences and that it's okay to talk openly about mine, saving me years of confusion, self-hate, and suppression.Because of
the 1998 curriculum, I was never exposed to the idea of healthy relationships and the concept of consent, so when I was 12 and all
my friends wanted boyfriends, I didn't know it wasn't okay to chase after boys just to show my peers I was as mature as they
were. I didn't know that it wasn't okay that, at 12 years old, a boy I liked was pressuring me into sex. The 2015 curriculum would
have taught me how to address that in a safe and healthy way. I wouldn't have learned how my body works, that it's okay that
mine works a little differently than others', that it's okay that I have feelings I don't understand, and that it's okay to ask questions
and be curious about how my body and brain are changing. It was from there that my physical and mental health education came,
not from school, and this shouldn't be the case.I should have learned in school that sometimes bodies work differently than they're
"supposed" to, but that if I'm in pain or if I think something is wrong, I should ask for help. I should have learned in school that it's
not okay for boys, or anyone, to touch me when and where I don't want them to. I should have learned in school that queer folks
are just as diverse as anyone else, and that it's okay to realize that I might be queer, too. I should have learned in school that, as I
get older, life will get harder and I might want to hurt myself or someone else and if I do, I need to ask for help. I should have
learned in school that people from different backgrounds have different perspectives and beliefs around maturity, sex, and
relationships, and that I should be able to talk with other people about our differences and learn from them rather than fight over
them. Maybe I would have known sooner that I was gay and that it's okay if other people aren't, that everyone is different. Maybe
the boys I was around would have learned about consent and I wouldn't have been sexually assaulted several times throughout my
adolescence, and maybe I could have avoided being in so many consecutive abusive relationships. Maybe I would have learned to
love my body through all its stages, instead of hating myself and the way I looked to the point where I wanted to die. Maybe I
could have avoided years of self harm and rock-bottom mental health because I would have known how to get the help I
needed.And maybe not. I don't know that it would have changed things that much.

My son has been cyber-bullied. Why is that not being addressed in the PC government's outdated curriculum? My son has a friend
in his class with two moms. Why aren't healthy same-sex relationships and families of all kinds being addressed in the PC's health
curriculum? There are gay students in our schools. They must be taught health as well as the heterosexual students. What about
consent? Will that be taught? I was willing to give Ford's government a chance but reverting to this outdated health curriculum does
my school aged children a huge disservice. And to report teachers for teaching about the many types of families, healthy
relationships of all kinds, on-line safety and consent is disgraceful. I should note, not that it should matter, that I am a white,
Christian . I only mention it because the PC government is catering to a certain type of voter and, on paper, I am that voter.
However, the dignity of ALL people and the safe teaching of ALL students outweighs all else. Please consider a more humane
response. The Ontario College of Teachers should support teachers, not a government that only seeks to educate and inform
mainstream students. OCT, where is the support for the educators on the front lines? What if a gay student asks a question? Is the
teacher to exclude or shame or ignore that student? Instead of reporting teachers, OCT should earn its money and create some
educational resources to help teachers navigate this limiting and outdated curriculum. In case it is not obvious, I am not reporting
any teacher. I am simply looking to convey my dismay at the PC government and the Ontario College of Teachers.

the Leviathan. The term has been applied to myths and legends from the Middle Ages, such as the story of Saint George and the
Dragon, the stories of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and the legends of the Parsival. Multiple commentators have

The teacher's hands are tied, and I suspect the principal's are too. Also, it's very important that my child's teacher be encouraged
to use their professional judgement in meeting my child's academic needs. That teacher knows my child better than any
administrator, some school board official who has never met my child, or some politician that has not only met my child but clearly
knows nothing about education. Teachers have a lot of education and know-how. They're in the classroom all day, every day. They
know what they're doing. Leave them alone and let them teach for pity's sake! Stop trying to micromanage my kid's teachers into

I have strong concerns about the Ford government’s plan to return to the old sexual and health education curriculum. A curriculum
created in 1998 is not adequate to be taught to children in 2018, as many experts have attested. The world has changed and the
sexual education program needs to be up-to-date with those changes. Learning about gender and sexual identity and making
schools a safe place for students of all gender identities and sexual orientations is critical. I am ashamed that my government

The Physical Education and Health curriculum is great! It is current and relevant to students needs. It provides them with the
information necessary to make informed personal choices. It is delivered by well-trained and knowledgeable professionals. It
demonstrates responsibility to our evolving society, including its values, morals, and beliefs, and also addresses the subject matter
in a respectful, thoughtful, and meaningful way.It is fully within the rights of a parent to withdraw their child from the class if its
information conflicts with their family's personal beliefs, too. With this safeguard built in, there is no chance for parents or students
to find themselves in a conflicted situation.Please reconsider your position concerning the Physical Education and Health curriculum.

informed personal decisions.

No link to the 1998 curriculum but I cannot find words adequate to describe my disappointment that you ditched the 2016

misunderstood). It is sensitive and affirming and appears to cover all the topics currently facing children of today. But then ... it
was developed through a very fulsome process including top experts and in consultation with teachers groups, other professipnals
and parent councils from every school. It is hard to understand why this has been so blatantly discounted. I do give you credit
though for opening up views to cover other subjects and I agree that financial literacy is important. I would also like to see
consensus building, collaboration and compromise as core components of school processes.Finally - this is not strictly a matter for
parents who have children in school - it will shape our society far more broadly so we should all have a voice.

I am both a teacher and parent in the TVDSB. I have been teaching Health and Physicsl Education for over . I have taught the
revised curriculum for the past . In those years I have had 2 primary age students stay after class and reveal abuse, that they
didn’t know was abuse. If it wasn’t for these open, honest and respectful conversations these children would not have been
protected from their abuser. I While driving home, one of my students broke down to tell me if it wasn’t for that conference she
would have started high school not realizing that there were other people out there she could relate to. We have a suicide epidemic
in our high schools and many say it is because they feel ashamed to be themselves. You are now forcing teachers not to be able to
teach lessons such as the grade three lesson on visible and invisible differences- that has been one of my favourite lessons to teach
so far. It basically teaches that kindness is the most important factor- no matter the difference (race, religion, gender identity etc.)

We have the health unit come in to teach kids how to brush their teeth and other issues. Why not have the health units come in
and teach the Sex Ed classes? That way it would be taught by medical professionals, it would introduce the kids to the services the
health units provide and if there are sexual issues that need to be addressed, the health unit staff can direct the child and their
family to services provided in the community. e.g. local LGBT chapter, crises pregnancy centre, mental health centre. This way
teachers are not pulled into very sensitive issues with their students. Let the teachers teach Math, Science, English etc.

Removing the section of the grade 3 health and physical education curriculum that deals with respect is a failure of government and
our public education system. Removing the sections in grades 5-8 that address puberty, personal development, sexual
relationships, and consent are grossly negligent. Repeating costly and redundant consultations are a waste of money and resources
and add to government bloat and unnecessary red tape. Our children are the victims here as they are being left with inadequate
education on key social and development topics that they need to grow into healthy, responsible adults while these drawn out
changes are implemented in an amateurish manner. This is not how you set effective policy and if I ran my business this way, I
would be out of business.Stop making knee-jerk changes to curriculum without responsible replacements that meet the learning

. I have seen an increase in cyber bullying. I have seen an increase in sexual harassment. All of this is a direct result of the
unfettered access children have to the internet. To take our curriculum back to a time before the ubiquity of sexualization (devoid
of any consensual or respectful context) found on all social media platforms is wholly unresponsible. They need these conversations
among their peer group by a professional. Teachers need to be empowered to have meaningful conversations with their
students.The new curriculum does not even come close to touching upon the dangers our children face. Promote healthy and

bodies, consent, boundaries, a spectrum of sexuality/gender identities, and all the different kinds of families she will encounter. I
want her to have the tools to handle herself in a world with Internet, social media, and all of the challenges these may bring to her
life. I will be teaching her these concepts at home, but I feel strongly that she also be taught these concepts WITH her peers so
that there is shared learning experience in these topics that may result in a positive culture shift. I want to know that the people

the curriculum so all kids are learning the same thing. There was consultation when the current 'new' curriculum was introduced
and virtually all professionals agreed that this was a good way to go. Some have complained that they weren't consulted, but not
every single person can have input. If you want to have more consultation, fine, but stay with the 'new' curriculum and 'tweak' it if

I’m concerned about students going back to the 1998 curriculum. I cannot express what a terrible idea this is. Students deserve
updated, relevant curriculum that will teach them to navigate our times. Snitch lines for teachers are soul-sucking and terrible.
There is very clear protocol already in place for a parent who has a concern, and it’s a waste of money that should be going toward
bettering our schools.

I take serious concern with Premier Ford's actions on the sex ed curriculum. My children and their peers need to have full
understanding of sexual health, gender identity and consent. I do not support Premier Ford's decision to revert back to an
antiquated curriculum during this "consultation" process. He is the one using children as pawns. If teachers are disciplined for
teaching what kids need to know, there is something seriously wrong with this province.

There was nothing wrong with the curriculum as it stood. Much upheaval about nothing. Read the curriculum and you will
understand the fear mongering. Kid see far more on afternoon TV and on their computers, celll phone, etc. than what is taught in
the curriculum. We are doing an injustice to our children and students by this. The curriculum teaches respect for themselves and
others.As for consultations, a waste of money. It has already been done. Who are you going to consult with. Parents, teachers,
school boards, citizens at large, social workers, medical experts, etc., etc. have already been consulted, so who and what are you
going to consult with beyond this. Dulpication and a waste of money.

The curriculum was developed using thorough research and has been implemented by teachers using their professional judgement
and knowledge of how kids learn best. My grave concern as a parent is that this government is trying to take the curriculum back in
time over 20 years, without examining sound research and sound pedagogy in order to appease a very small population of social
conservatives. Ontario students deserve better than the education crisis your maligned government creating. Luckily, our dedicated
teachers will provide excellent learning conditions, in spite of the uninformed, politically motivated decisions of the government.

I have strong concerns that the newer curriculum will not be taught.I have been raped by a person using a date-rape drug. Under
this "new" old crappy curriculum, the conversations about consent won't be happening. With the newly easily available drugs that
alter a person's ability to consent, not having a conversation in a sane, educational setting is a HUGE problem for me. Doug Ford's
'new' plan is a setback and encourages stupidity, ignorance and is downright dangerous to the segment of the population that
happens to possess a vagina. So to the Conservative people who are thinking to regulate my uterus... think again. This is not good
for children. This is BAD, REALLY, REALLY BAD. Reckless, irresponsible and downright WRONG!!!! As is the idea that a "snitch line"
will help children. It won't. It will just make it easier for predators.And if you think it is not, consider that your daughter might have

My only concern about the curriculum, irrespective of the school board, is the appalling standards of math that is taught at the
elementary levels. By the time the students reach high school, and by the time they are being taught by specialist teachers, the
children have already been lost since they were ironically taught math by a Music or Psych major. Could Math be kindly considered
a specialist subject and be taught by “smarter” teachers? I don’t understand why there’s so much emphasis on the ridiculous Sex
Ed or why stress on kids learning ten different skills (skills that won’t necessarily lead to a decent career path) It’s good to have
hobbies but not at the expense of Math Literacy!!! Regards,a frustrated parent

I have substantial concerns about, and I strongly oppose, reverting back to the 1998 health curriculum. I firmly believe that
children growing up in 2018 need information about consent, correct anatomical terms, bodily autonomy, and the diversity of
gender and sexuality as defined by the Ontario Human Rights Code. Children and teens also need information about emotional
health, as well as a wide variety of sexual practices (including oral and anal sex) and sexual health that includes information about
HIV and other STI transmission, barrier methods, and cyber bullying that isn’t abstinence only education or an exclusive focus on
heterosexual relationships. The Ontario government must restore the 2015 curriculum to stay current with the reality of 2018 and
beyond.

I have major concerns about my children no longer being taught important current concepts regarding their physical and mental

dangers, consent, gender identity, and other important topics that are relevant to today’s society are not being discussed in most
homes, and lots of my kids friends refuse to discuss these kinds of things with their parents so where are they supposed to get their
information? Your decision to revert to the old curriculum was hasty and short-sighted and I am worried about the children that will
suffer mental and physical health repercussions due to the lack of open discussion in schools. The message to any homosexual or
trans person is that they should hide it because it’s wrong and shouldn’t be discussed in public. I’m extremely disappointed in the

It is 2018. Young people encounter sexual messages every day from advertising, media, the internet and social networks. How they
decide to respond is determined by what they are taught. A curriculum that includes important discussions on consent, cyber-

three teacher strikes. In both scenarios the curriculum is never changed and it becomes challenging that the basics were not taught
or the gaps not filled in from strike. I feel as though the teachers mark very hard. My son would hand everything in and make all
the requirements, in grade 9, and get 50% on his English and french, even though these are his native languages. I found that to
be belittling to his self-esteem. I felt they were young teachers out of University that were marking as though they were in the

Bring back the new health curriculum. I can't stress enough how important this is. it is a good curriculum providing balanced
information to children in a way that they can process, and it builds upon the prior year's curriculum as it goes along. It was well
founded with expert opinions. It is ridiculous to scrap it especially after so much expense went into making it and then to go to
MORE expense to 'consult' people is a slap in the face to parents, educators, and students.

My complaint is about your government cancelling the fabulous changes to curriculum that were taught wonderfully and respectfully
in my daughter’s school this year by educational professionals. It is absolutely disgusting that this government is taking away
progress made in schools and spending money on a website like this to snitch on teachers. Guthrie PS has wonderful teachers, and
I would like to thank in particular for educating my daughter and her classmates with Kathleen Wynne’s respectful and well thought
out lessons. It is a shame if these lessons are not continued. I fully support teachers should they choose to ignore your ridiculous
demand to stop educating our children in ways that protect their rights. Please stop this nonsense and give credit to the many,
many fine professionals that produced the much needed curriculum that was in place before Doug Ford came along.

and consent in an open and progressive way. Perhaps there will be less assault, harassment, a sense of male entitlement etc. if we
have open conversations with kids starting young. Something has to be done differently BECAUSE THE WAY WE'VE BEEN DOING IT

I am very concerned that the current interim curriculum and outdated 2014 currucilulum do not properly address the concerns
facing children today (sexuality, gender, online presence), but rather attempt to appease an ideological-centric religious mindset
that is out of touch with the realities children face. I believe in a curriculum developed by educators, not parents. Parents of course
will still be able to mislead their children once they are home from a well-rounded public education school day. We don’t consult
parents on geography or chemistry curriculums, why should sex education be any different? A public education should be free from

I took my children out of Ontario to avoid the upcoming education regression. I hope your education system does not also dial back
to the 80s for history and science as it is in sex ed.Education should reflect the realities currently faced by students. No good has
ever come from pandering to the religious right. The regressive changes to the curriculum currently being taught exclude already
marginalized members of our society. It is already repulsive that Catholic schools are given public funds in Ontario, now all public
schools are being forced to adapt superstitious policies as a political move. If anything, the curriculum should be updated to warn
the very real dangers of being abused at church.The children of Ontario are not Ford's pawns, and he is no Chess master.

My comment: This is the 21st Century, one in which LGBTI citizens have achieved full equality, women have a right to choose,
people have the right to consent (yes means yes), where the Church has finally recognized decades (if not centuries) of sexua l
abuse. We see online predators, revenge porn sites, cyberbullying and sexting. How does the Ford government propose to keep
children safe by ignoring these dangers? How do we protect LGBTI kids from being bullied or from suicide? How do we protect the
children of same sex couples? How do we keep girls safe from genital mutilation or forced marriage? The Ford Government has
taken a giant step backwards and has abandoned children by not maintaining the 2015 health education curriculum.

means she was taught the updated education, one that is just entering the stage where she will be learning it, and one who will is
yet a few years away. Saying parents should instruct their children is simply not good enough in the current world. I'm a father who
is rather well read and tries to keep up with issues concerning my daughters, and I dont feel I know enough to instruct them on
many of the faster changing issues such as gender identity and cyber bullying. These issues are simply too broad for me to be able

it means to be transgender. They need to learn about cyber bullying and how to be safe online. They should know the names of all
body parts at a young age. They need to know what consent is. Students should not be afraid to ask questions about sexuality and
health. The curriculum should be inclusive in content and delivery. No student should need to ask teachers privately about modern

I believe that the intricacies of consent, gender identity, cyber bullying and a whole host of other issues that are not addressed in
the 1998 curriculum are critical to my son's education and development. In the current climate of the 'me too' movement we are
remiss not to go into nauseating detail about consent specifically.If this is a snitch line to call out teachers who teach progressive
sex ed then I find this absolutely reprehensible.

Same sex marriage isn't covered in the antiquated version. Neither is protecting themselves against sexting and cyber bullying. Our
society has moved forward and we are expecting our kids to "just know" about these things without giving them the tools to
prepare them for these things and more. I stand with the teachers who are understand that learning about consent is just as

I’m concerned that schools are teaching a woefully outdated curriculum from 1998. If my child had been born in 1998, they
wouldn’t even be in public or high school any more, that’s how old this curriculum is. I’m concerned that the curriculum being
taught to my daughter does not tell her about consent, it does not tell her that same-sex marriage is a right in Canada, it does not
tell her about cyber bullying and the issues of social media, because none of these things existed in 1998. I’m concerned because
proper health and physical education that includes sex education is the right of a child and it saves lives - and the 1998 curriculum
is no longer fit for that purpose. The 2015 curriculum was properly created by experts, addresses these important topics, and

I would ask the premier to also consider 'guest speakers' and 'special presentations' that are routinely scheduled during the school
day. My son was forced to sit through a one hour presentation from a transgender person that strongly promoted the 'gender
unicorn' visual and the idea that gender is a spectrum and that 'no two people have exactly the same gender identity'. As a senior
in high school he was able to immediately disregard this nonsense but was forced to endure the message nonetheless, and many
younger students were perplexed by the message. This message was delivered in previous assemblies as well. These types of guest
speakers are NOT qualified teachers (the speaker admitted to being on medication for mental illness) and should not be given a
platform in our public schools!!!! As a parent of 3, I am appalled at many of the inappropriate assemblies and 'guest speakers'
allowed to preach to my children. Please ensure that these presentations are strictly prohibited unless specifically and professionally
tied to curriculum objectives. Thank you Doug Ford for this excellent opportunity for parents to voice concerns!!

I'm concerned about a return to a curriculum from the last century which doesn't cover cyber dangers, sexting, bullying, predation.
However, with the newer curriculum I feel that children were introduced to advanced concepts far too early. I don't think 8 year
olds need to be surveyed on whether they are gay. I don't think any child needs to be educated in sexual matters before the age of
13 and then just the information needed to keep them out of danger...and trouble. And as much as I support the right of people to
marry who they love (so they don't ruin lives by marrying people they cant love) I think elementary school children are too young
and impressionable to be taught about these deviations from the norm. I think it encourages experimentation that wouldn't have
happened and a lot of confusion at a time when being included and "cliques" rule a child's life.It is one thing to acknowledge that a
person can marry anyone, it is another to interfere in their innocence.

I'd like to share my concern that the government is rolling back the 2015 curriculum update. My kids are starting this year. We've
been very pleased with the way their school has taught the new health and phys ed updates so far. The topics have been age
appropriate and handled with sensitivity. . We have LGBTQ+ people in our community and we've already had these conversations
at home. I'm glad the update addressed these issues so kids understand that every family should be accepted, not just ones that
look like their own. I'm upset that consent is being removed from the curriculum. I can teach my children about boundaries for their
bodies and others - but not every parent is doing that. I want my daughter's peers to understand consent. I want them all on the
same page. This decision doesn't protect kids, it puts them all at risk. Please reconsider.

I express my concern that any curriculum being taught this school year is at all altered from the 2015 curriculum. I support the
2015 health and physical education curriculum. I’ve read the curriculum for grades 1-8, and I find it consistent with the important
lessons necessary for young kids in 2018. I’ve paid particular attention to the guidance and learning objectives for Grade 1 (). In
my review of the first grade curriculum I am especially supportive of the lessons in consent (e.g. appropriate touching, respect for
bodies) as well as the proper names of body parts. These and other elements of the curriculum (such as various family structures,
personal safety, etc.) are highly consistent with our values and teachings at home, and we consider them essential — i.e., crucial
and required — as part of her education at school as well. We’ve zero doubt that our daughter’s exceptional teachers lay strong
foundations for these core elements of young learning on a daily basis and we wanted to expressly communicate that the 2015
curriculum accurately and appropriately reflects these important lessons.We support Le Phare’s staff, the OCDSB, and the ETFO in
efforts to enable, or even encourage, teachers and staff involved our children’s education to continue to incorporate these key
learning elements into the to sexual/physical/health education of our daughter at this influential period of early childhood education
- and equally our son once he enters school. To quote my conscientious daughter, reflecting the critical and independent thinking
we encourage: “Doug Ford is making bad decisions. I want to learn about my body and about being safe and about Indigenous
people. We should just ignore him! I love my teachers and they do a good job.”

internet safety is abhorrent. Maybe when HIS children were growing up sexting wasn't a concern, but considering with pre-age of
majority youth it's creating and distributing child pornography, they should be taught about it, no?If it's going to become illegal and

I am a parent. With the rate of suicide among young people and non-heterosexual people so high, I absolutely want to have my
children be taught tolerance and acceptance in school. There is no way that teaching children about sexual orientation encourages
them to be gay. That is ridiculous. That is like the decades old argument that teaching children about condoms would encourage
sex. Instead it empowers them with facts rather than what they would be told by those who want to manipulate them. With porn
streaming possible on every child's phone - we absolutely must talk to them about consent and real relationships. I have looked at
the curriculum and most parents support it - the ones who don't are often just following religious guidance that is in itself

I find it interesting that Ford government only wants to hear the complaints that suit their decision to change the curriculu m. My
complaint is that there is a proposal to remove the updated curriculum. The parents against the curriculum most likely would not
teach their children about sex which can lead to a lack of knowledge. This lack of knowledge can rest in teen pregnancies, enabling
abuse and bullying, and depression. There are professionals that develop these curriculums and if parents disagree then they can
home school their children. I wish growing up that we learned about the correct names or body parts, sexual orientation, and STDs.
With the increased use of the internet and cellphones, there is more opportunity to have children learn and wouldn't it be better to
teach them in a class instead of them learning through other means? Removing the existing curriculum and replacing it with one
from 20 years ago is a horrible, backwards decision that will introduce more harm than learning its called a penis and a vagina and
that masturbation is perfectly natural way to understand your body.

education that is respectful of the human rights of all her peers. If you want to improve schools, start with ensuring the teachers
know how to spell, how to parse a text for bias, and put together a cogent and coherent sentence. Make sure kids are practicing
math, by rote, every day in primary grades so they don’t fall apart when math gets more complicated. If you’re going to teach the
new math, do it alongside a firm foundation of old math. And maybe cut class sizes while you’re at it, and make sure funding is in

University course. I feel that the curriculum is being distorted by some teachers who have no real life experience and are wr iting
lesson plans based on their own University education. I think this causes unnecessary stress and is inappropriate, and further
jeopardizes achievement. There is a major problem in the schools with teachers pushing kids marks down messing with self

I have grave concerns about stepping back in time to teach a curriculum that does not address the realities of today. Issues of
consent, social media and its influence on relationships, mental health care, lgbtq must be addressed. This government must work
quickly with the teachers and experts to return to a health education curriculum that supports children to deal with these
complicated issues. As an example, I think of the struggles my friend’s transgender son faced...the isolation he felt, the attacks on
social media he had to endure...to return to a the curriculum that did not support him is criminal. I have sent messages to both the
new Minister of education and my new local MPP and have yet to receive a response. Very disappointing. I would like to commend
all the dedicated and hard working teachers who are having to deal with a government that appears intent on creating a divide and
does not respect their expertise.

I am disappointed that the government has chosen to only roll back the sex ed curriculum to a time before smart phones, social

government would also rework the education system to separate the genders and to reintroduce home economics instructing our
wayward girls how to cook, clean and sew. As well I am surprised you plan to maintain 12 grades. I think if you were to poll your

because it scores points with a few people is greatly mistaken. You won’t like my message so will likely ignore it but I feel strongly

I fully support the modern sex ed curriculum. What I am concerned about is the public curriculum being held back by cranks,
religious extremists, and morons. If a child is old enough to have genitals the child is old enough to know their properenames and
what they do at the moment.If a child is old enough that some creep might try to pursue them sexually, it's important to learn
about saying no and standing up to pressure.If a child is old enough to see homosexual or trans people, they're old enough for an
accepting explanation about why those folks do or look different from most others.

My children have amazing teachers. I am, however, quite concerned with the document the Ontario government has released.
Teachers should be using their professional judgement, as always, to ensure their studnts are receiving the best, most current, and
most relevant information. Using a document from 1998 (because that was the last document for Health and Physical Education) is
wrong. Asking teachers to teach about the safe use of cannabis and alcohol, but not to teach about cyber bullying, consent, gender
identity, sexual orientation, and the dangers of oral/anal sex, is doing our children an injustice. Did you know that STIs are on the
rise? That is why the document is needed, and why I am hoping my children’s teachers will use the updated document.

I believe all children should be taught about all aspects of sex and how to stay safe and healthy. There are many students that do
and will struggle with being gay,transgendered, cyber bullying...and a massive array of other issues..and by not teaching them
about it...and not helping them understand their feelings you are creating more mental health and physical health problems. If
some religious or over protective parents do not wish their children to lean how our world works and how to be ok in your own
skin....then let those parents remove THEIR child from the class. As far as I am concerned, other parents have no right to tell me
how my child should be educated. We as a society learned a long time ago that information is power! Information protects you! It is
up to the government to make good decisions...and healthy decisions regarding our children's education. The world is
changing....ignorance is not bliss...that way of thinking is gone with the older generations. You update mathematics to include

This "report on a teacher if they deviate from a misinformed sex education curriculum" approach is disgusting. We have one of the

just taught about sex education "facts," could result in a teacher being disciplined all because a political party feels that
intersexuality or sexual practices are too much to handle for children. I am complete support of any teacher that teaches facts, and
applies their exceptional skills in the classroom to educate our youth. My children deserve to be taught in this manner, not limited
by some uneducated politician who thinks some topics are off limits.

The previously updated curriculum that the Minister saw fit to remove and replace with 20 year old outdated, dangerously
inadequate curriculum from the 90’s had ALREADY been consulted on. It had been consulted on with experts who contributed
content based on facts and evidence. With all due respect, despite the fact that I myself am a parent, I am NOT a content expert
and my opinion should NOT be what is driving curriculum. We don’t develop math curriculum in this way! So I am left to believe
that instead this is a cheap political ploy meant to “appear” as consultation when it is in fact wasteful and expensive. How much is it
costing to set up this website and how much in additional consultation fees will you be paying for someone to integrate this
feedback and what in God’s name is the message you are sending with the “reporting line” for teachers who teach fact based
curricula? And how much is that line costing to set up and run. For a government that ran on a platform of reducing waste I’m
seeing a LOT of wasteful initiatives being implemented. Just because someone with a different political stripe implemented the
previous curriculum doesn’t mean it wasn’t the apprhing to do. Step off the popularity contest box and do what is right.

Education is the most important investment we as a society can make in our future generation. Doug Ford’s vision of providing an
antiquated sexual education does NOT prepare our children for the social realities of today, let alone providing the critical
knowledge and skills required for the future. It’s dangerous and damaging to preach policy from a position of ignorance, and Doug
Ford and his education minister should trust the unbiased education experts when they say consent, gender identity and safe sex
skills build a healthier social environment.I will continue to support any educational programs and individuals who prepare our

I remember sex-ed in my high school years in the 1970s. There were 2 occasions when my teachers mentioned gay people. I
remember those occasions like they were yesterday. In Grade 10 my English teacher, , (while making us read Mary Renault!!)
lamented that the word “gay” had been taken over by homosexuals. She said it was such a lovely word, and her experience was
that gay men were anything but gay. In Grade 12, my Chemistry teacher, , remarked that homosexuality was perhaps not so bad
because it would help reduce over-population. Well, both teachers were wrong because gay men are gay, and LGBT men and
women can and do have lots of children. Doug Ford should think twice before he takes us back decades.

Ontario schools using the old, out-of-date curriculum instead of the carefully-researched, widely-consulted new curriculum that they
have been teaching that deals with issues like consent, sexting and cyber-bullying (real things kids deal with today) and a lot of
stuff that didn't exist when the old curriculum was put in place. This is a step backwards and extremely dangerous. As a parent I
am extremely concerned about what will be lost reverting back to a dated curriculum. I support teachers teaching the new
curriculum as it’s the right thing to do for our future adults. Doug Ford will drag us backwards but not without a fight.You can fill it
out once, or once a week, or once a day. Or, y'know, if you're not too busy, several times a day. If enough of us fill it out, maybe
we can flood these douchbags with complaints about their behaviour, to the point where it won't be useful to find out about

I am deeply concerned about the negative consequences of the rolling back sexual education curriculum. The 1998 curriculum
negates to teach our children essential information about healthy relationships including consent, accepting and celebrating
diversity, and does not prepare our student to safely navigate the modern world including online platforms. This roll back is harmful
to my child and other students resulting in negative consequences to student mental, physical and sexual health. It fails to prepare
them to be healthy, responsible, inclusive members of our community. I am further disappointed that the government chooses to
listen to only one select segment of parents silencing many more like myself who acknowledge the need to teach children how to
engage in healthy relationships. It is shameful that this government is intent on going backwards instead of moving our province
forward. The health and well being of our children tragically will be the victims of this terrible decision.

During the election I read about the PCs planned reforms to education in Ontario and that was one of the main reasons why I voted
PC. One item of interest is the back to basics approach to math. I sent a letter to the previous Education Minister under the
Liberalgovernment and did not receive a response (except a holiday greeting card). I have since reached out to Lisa Thompson via
email however I have yet to hear back. Mandating that students use equation editor (in a word processor such as Microsoft Word) is
not the best way to teach students how to effectively communicate using technology in my opinion. When one is faced with a math
problem, it is natural to try to solve the problem on paper, a mistake is made, one crosses it out and tries again. Using equation
editor (Word) to type out (while solving the problem) does not appear to be the right tool for the job. Even if one first solves their
problems on paper, transcribing ones work into Word is tedious and yields little benefit in my opinion. I would suggest allowing
students to submit scanned copies of their hand written math work. If there are issues in terms of legibility then I think the best
way would be to raise the issue with the individual student.If you could please respond indicating what action will be taken (if any)
it would be greatly appreciated. My email address is:( h hl bd h ld fd h d d ld h ld ll l hl bd)

My concern about the curriculum is that it's antiquated information from the last century! It's outrageous that Tories are tr ying to
erase the last 30 years of history with regard to sexuality and health. It would be hilarious if it weren't impacting young lives
adversely, but it is, so it's tragic. This government is only two months old and it's already having disastrous consequences for
Ontarians. Gutless move designed to pander to right-wing "Christian" supporters.

The 2015 curriculum (to clarify, the one developed by the Liberals) is thorough, fair, and respectful of different cultures and beliefs.
Additionally, as a letter is sent home to guardians (not just parents, as not all students have parents despite what Mr. Ford keeps
calling those guardians) outlining what will be taught and allowing guardians the opportunity to exempt their child from the
class(es) in which those topics will be taught. Lastly, the pieces that people are arguing about (same sex relationships, transpeople,
etc.) are all parts that are protected by the Humans Rights Code. Removing these topics will hinder the learning and understanding
of our world by our students.

Hi, My concerns about the curriculum currently being taught is that it's twenty (20!) years old. It doesn't cover modern day life, and
issues such as social media communication, consent, and LGBT issues. By removing this aspect of the curriculum, this work is
offloaded to parents who too have not had access to a modern curriculum - they can do their best to educate themselves but not all
of them can or will. The political decision to switch to the twenty year old curriculum uses children as pawns in the political game of
'getting back at the Liberals', and these petty, partisan decisions harm our youth and should not be tolerated. I have brought these
concerns to my MPP, Kinga Surma and have been completely ignored. Despite emailing and calling multiple times, I have received
no response. This kind of disregard for constituents when making sweeping, drastic, and harmful decisions for the province's youth
is unacceptable and dictatorial.

110% agree with the Conservative government approach to the school curriculum! A full overview of what is REQUIRED in the
classroom vs what's been done. - Sex ed = teach how to be careful/vigilant, know your rights. Let PEOPLE decide and figure out
gender on their own.. <this should not/cannot be taught! - Math = bring back the 'old' math, teach BUDGET, saving, investing... so
that youth can understand how to protect themselves for the future financially (have Wynne take the class). - Living skills =
sewing, cooking, diet, exercise, basic tech, etc... all of the things you should/need to know, to just get through the day.- Gym
class/sports = should be an extra curricular activity. Few make a career of sports, there are more important skills to learn than
running. Make any/all sport related classes weekend or after school activity for those that enjoy it enough to make time for it. Class
time is for living skills/learning. - Add more days to school year. 2 weeks off is more than sufficient and is more closely matched to
'real' life. Create a 'time bank' for students that succeed, so 'they' can take time off to pursue other interest. Teachers are over
paid, over confident, entitled and IMHO, ineffective in this age. Other learning options are now available, classrooms can be better
utilized, time management and course content are all overdue for change.

I believe my granddaughters should receive current information about human health and relationships, particularly the perils of

internet does not meet that objective. The 2015 curriculum which does do this underwent extensive consultation prior to
implementation. While an extremely vocal minority did not support the curriculum, the vast majority of parents and caregivers
did.Use the current approved curriculum introduced in 2015. If there are deficiencies in that curriculum, consultation should occur
on updates required to address new knowledge gained since 2015. Do not take the curriculum back to a 25 year old starting point.

The 2018 Curriculum contained important information, regarding on-line safety, (Reteah Parsons Law, and internet luring was not
enacted until a later time), age of consent (was 14 in 1998 not 16 as is presently), Non-disclosure HIV law was not in effect until
after 1998. In 2011 the SCC ruled that unconscious people could not consent to sexual activity and voyeurism laws didn't exist until
2005. Federal Canadian Law recognized equality until the law for same sex couples in 2005. It's too bad that many of the above
important changes will be removed, because of your governments closed minded religiously bigoted views that believes you are
above the law of this country, and want to enforce your religious views on the everyone else, opposed to having parents who
disagree with curriculum use their parental right to withdraw the student from the objectionable material.

elementary school aged children I want them to be educated on all the aspects f the new curriculum. This government's views on
this topic are out of line with the majority of Ontario residents and are simply a political move to appease a small base of their
supporters. The consultations they are proposing will likely be structured to provide them with the results they want in spite of the
overwhelming support of the new sex education curriculum by educators, parents and the extensive consultations already done by

The province's decision to force teachers to use an outdated 20 year old sex ed curriculum is the stupidest thing I have heard in a
long time. The revised curriculum which you trashed was one of the best in the country and dealt with really important topics like
bullying, online predators and same sex issues. Parents who objected had the right to withdraw their kids. Now you are forcing ALL
parents to abide by a curriculum that was only a concern to a very small minority. And the way you have instituted this change, by
creating a snitch line is a perfect example of bullying. You act like the new curriculum was not the result of extensive consultation.
But you are only pandering to the religious right who insist on imposing their puritannical ideas on the rest of us. I hope teachers

Our children deserve to know the pressures, issues facing them and consequences of their decisions as it pertains to 2018 (and
beyond), not those their parents faced 20 years ago. I am appalled that this tattle-tale line has been established for the sole
purpose of discrediting honest, hard working teachers. Our collective History over the past 75 years should have taught Premier
Ford and Ms. Thompson that no good comes from establishing a culture of fear and anonymous complaints. Our students and their
education, not their parents, or self interested parties, should be the responsibility of this Province and as a parent, it is my
observation that the Government failing in this respect. My children, and indeed all Ontario children have the right to learn the 2015
curriculum; their teachers have the right to teach and prepare their students for the challenges that they will face in their lifetime
and we as parents, elected officials and Ontarians must have the compassion and strength to understand the challenges our
children face are not the same challenges we faced. Our children deserve better. I challenge the Government to fulfill its bold
promise Premier Ford made when he was installed, to be the Government for all Ontarians, not just the Ontarians who voted for the
Conservative Party and allow our teachers to teach as they see fit without the fear of discipline.

with parents, is being discarded due to complaints from a small number of people, largely based on religious beliefs and a great
deal of misinformation about what is actually in the curriculum. I strongly oppose going back to the decades-old curriculum, as I
believe that puts many children (particularly those who are gay, lesbian or transgender) in grave danger.

teachers do the right thing and ensure that my children are aware of issues that are relevant in 2018 and not 1998. The statement

I find it appalling that you would scrap a modern curriculum that was approved by hundreds of experts and waste money on

that racism is NOT okay and that everyone bleeds red, no matter your skin colour, Wright, height, male, female or ethnic
background, we are still brought into this world the same, and we leave the same. I have to keep telling my child this, but older

consent and reconciliation from the curriculum and dangerously undermining open, free, and informed debate in our political

Children should be educated about what they are facing in their lives, including the LGBTQ community. Ignoring this part of our
community does not mean it’s “going away”. Ignoring this topic in the curriculum will mean that the young students become
ignorant and will make up their own mind on what it means to gay or transgender. Teachers should be given the go ahead to cover
all current topics when educating our youth. Imagine being a transgender child and your teacher skips over educating your peers
on what it means to be transgender. That’s got to be tough for a child. It’s a wasted opportunity to properly educated young minds
before they accept stereotypes as fact. Children will understand what they’re taught about their bodies and their minds as science.
They learn both proper terminology and how to take care of themselves and their peers. Taking the sex ed curriculum back 20
years is a mistake. There’s still time to correct this.

Repealing the Sex Ed curriculum is absolutely disgusting. It is pathetic that the current government is pandering to fringe right,
while ignoring the science, experts and all other families and endangering our children. Ford's repealing of the sex ed curriculum
(with Consent curriculum and online safety) while privatizing cannabis and reducing cost of beer - making both more accessible to
youth - is a very dangerous combination. Anti-intellectualism at work. Those who allowed this should be ashamed. Please think
about your own daughters and sons, however they identify...they are all in danger now.

The curriculum needs updating ALL of it!! Get with 2018! Our kids cannot write, they cannot spell, they need to learn LIFE SKILLS-
budgeting, communication face to face, learn how resolve conflict, they need to learn health and safety concerns, acceptance,
consent! Get beyond political lines and start teaching OUR kids skills—stop political Grand standing and striking and start doing
your jobs all sides teachers, administrators and politicians—my kids are worth it! I’ve been in the system with 4 kids for stop talking
start DOING! or find people who will

I am gravely concerned about the changes to the sex-ed curriculum introduced by your government, and even more so, the idea
that you have created a snitch line to inform on teachers who do not follow your regressive curriculum. The previous curriculum had
received more than adequate public consultation, and was approved and supported by teachers, parents, and perhaps most
importantly, scientists and professionals that have the knowledge to assess what is being taught to our children, and why. Please
stay out of our classrooms, and don’t use the children as pawns for grandstanding and political games!!!

The current (revised) curriculum is exactly what I want my son to be taught - he needs to learn about consent, LGBTQ+ families,
safer sex and yes, the proper name for his body parts at a young age. I think that the Ontario government’s decision to suspend
the new sex ed curriculum is dangerous, reactionary and plays politics with our kids. I strongly urge the government to back down
on this - history isn’t going to judge this idiotic move kindly. Good for the teachers who are refusing to participate in Ford’s
politicking at the expense of our kids.

when There is a focus on teaching current ideologies rather than scientific facts, parents are left without being able to properly
instruct the children in their religious and ideological beliefs. I think teaching should be sensitive and compassionate but does not
need to include current gender ideologies and other more controversial topics and should not include what the Liberal campaign
was pushing and introducing.

I am angry that the updated sex Ed course is not being taught to my grand daughter. Sufficient input has already been received in
the development of this program and further consultation is a waste of time and money (as is the establishment of this email snitch
line). It’s time for this government to get out of the dark ages.

My child is being put at risk by the boards adoption of the interim curriculum. Now more than ever our children need to learn about
consent and cyber bullying. The changes introduced by the government are regressive and harmful. Restore the 2015 curriculum.

I have a concern that the government is actively encouraging teachers NOT teach from the 2015 Ontario curriculum that was
created in consultation with many health professionals, teachers, students and parents. Our children have a right to a thorough
education that is up-to-date and that teaches about their bodies, different family structures, and above all, acceptance of the
difference of others. Many professional associations have spoken out in favour of the 2015 curriculum and have spoken out
AGAINST reverting to older curriculum - including teachers associations, The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologist of Canada
and The Association of Ontario Midwives. Please listen to the professionals and bring back the 2015 curriculum OR at the very least,
please do not villify teachers who choose to continue to teach the most current information in their classrooms.

Hi, my child starting this year. I would hope the curriculum would be up to date with current issues that are important to learn in
this day and age: Cyber bullying, LGBT families, correct anatomical language! Let's not go backwards!Thanks,

How is my kid supposed to understand my 70’s rock references when the schools don’t even teach about early metal and hard
rock? My kid’s teacher didn’t even know what “Inna Gadda Da Vida” by the amazing Iron Butterfly was! What are they even
teaching him? Maybe you could tell them to start playing some quality music around the school. Kids gotta learn good, eh. Rock on!

2015 cirriculum is the best thing to happen to education in years. Sadly you are missing it's relevance by catering to a small vocal
minority.

Our new headmaster, Charles Xavier, is obviously an NDP flack, as he's spreading the leftist SJW propaganda that mutants deserve
the name rights as normals.
