Our current curriculum is not inclusive to all sexual orientations and only educates using the example of heterosexual couples.
Planning 10 includes a unit on defining a healthy relationship and safe sex however; it does not provide a fair education for everyone.
In Planning 10 we need to be inclusive to everyone so we are all given a fair education, this will create a tolerance and awareness around the LGBTQ+ community early on in schools with all students instead of the select few in Social Justice 12.
During the unit important topics like bullying and homophobia also need to be covered to create a safe school environment for all students.
This is the only way heterosexual students will understand the struggle and empathize with what LGBTQ+ students go through on a daily basis due to a lack of education.
We, the undersigned, call on the BC Ministry of Education to change the Planning 10 curriculum to create an inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ students.
The Change The Curriculum petition to BC Ministry of Education was written by Rasna Dhillon and is in the category Education at GoPetition.
