- WHEREAS, in 2010 the people of Ontario rejected the sensitive, graphic, age-inappropriate, sex education content contained in the 2010, Grade 1 – 8 Health and Physical Education Curriculum,
- WHEREAS, in 2010, the government responded to the public concerns by removing the sensitive content, and promised to provide “opportunities for parents to lend shape to a (sex ed) policy” (Premier McGuinty, April 22, 2010).
- WHEREAS, parents and the public at large have not been granted opportunity to provide input into the content of the proposed curriculum,
- WHEREAS the government survey process did not allow for broad public input,
- WHEREAS the government has announced it will fully implement a revised curriculum in September 2015,
WE, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to honor the 2010 promise to “provide opportunities for parents to lend shape to (sex-ed) policy”, prior to implementation of said curriculum, by providing:
a) a 4-month public response time,
b) opportunities for parents, and the public at large, to understand, and effectively respond in a way that shapes the said curriculum.
