Restore Ontario's Sex Education

We want to remind Premier Ford that this is 2018, not 1998, and our curriculum and school system must reflect this reality. Follow us for news & info.

[Restore Ontario's Sex Education @2018NOT1998]

Our next campaign is incredibly important - we invite everyone to take part in #ShareYourStory. We need to share our stories on WHY this issue is so important to us. We encourage each of you to share your own experience (or lack thereof) of the sex education in your years... /1

[Restore Ontario's Sex Education @2018NOT1998]

For anyone with a child in kindergarten, you can call to complain about the teacher teaching children the names of body parts and encouraging them to touch these body parts while singing...
Head and shoulders, knees and toes...

[Jamie Mitchell @realJ_Mitchell]

Couldn’t agree with this more. Very important that we use the new report tool to discuss real issues and not report on silly things like UFO sightings or the teaching practices of Seymore Butts. #OntEd

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

In a single release the Ontario government is building a culture of fear for educators. This is an attack on #ETFO members and our call to action for all professional educators to use their trained judgement to create safe learning environments for all kids. #ONpoli #OntEd

@acampbell99 I don't see why parents can't use it to complain about their children being taught an out of date curriculum, or one that does not teach the history of our indigenous citizens, and their treatment in residential schools

[Leadnow @leadnowca]

Ford is trying to bully teachers into submission.

They need to know we're with them. #onpoli

[Christopher Scott @chrisakadanafan]

How many times does it need to repeated "THERE IS NO 2014 HEALTH CURRICULUM!"
This is going to get ugly :(

[Canadian Civil Liberties Association @cancivlib]

See you in court, @ONeducation.

Couldn't agree more! "We expect our teachers... to fulfill their obligations to parents and children when it comes to what our students learn in the classroom,” #ETFO has stated this repeatedly over the past several weeks. @ETFOeducators

@jdeq @calphonso I want my children and my grandchildren to be taught current, relevant curriculum. Not one created 20 years ago. Teachers who exercise their professional judgement to teach our children what they want to know should be praised, not punished. Shame on the Ford government!

[Andrea Horwath @AndreaHorwath]

Eliminating consent, LGBTQ families, & gender identity from elementary curriculums drags our schools backwards and puts a minority of radical social conservatives ahead of students’ health.
Our schools need real investments - not Doug Ford’s “snitch line.” #onpoli #OntEd

[Sam Hammond @SLAR2023]

2005, Canada became the 4th country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage after the enactment of the Civil Marriage Act. Same-sex adoption is legal in all provinces & territories. But, Ford "will act" if Teachers talk about it! @ETFOeducators #shame

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

Ontario’s proposed snitch line pits parents against teachers to create adversarial relations and seeks to undermines what is already a positive relationship. Let’s focus on what is truly needed in #education – funding. #onpoli #canlab

[North Simcoe Centre for Reproductive Justice @NSC4RJ]

@etfopresident @ETFOeducators @OFLabour @CanTeachersFed So, where can we report the complete opposite of that? Teachers save lives through their pedagogical and content choices each day, and many parents would be happy to report as much!

[Andrew Donihee @doniheea]

One of the reasons #ontario is respected around the world is because we have highly qualified, trained teachers. Consultation with teachers is a must if we want to ensure the best outcome for our students #sexed #oecta #osstf #aefo #onpoli #OntEd

[Chris Cowley @oectagovernor]

Handgun snitch-line?

No.

Drugs snitch-line?

Nah.

A snitch-line to report teachers who use the words “penis” and “vagina” to teach sex-ed?

Welcome to the @fordnation education system!

#onpoli

[David Garlick @garlickd13]

@politicsfisher @pattimarathon Parents, please: If you have a concern, before contacting the Provincial Gov't - try these things:
1) Talk to the teacher
2) Talk to the Principal
3) Talk to a Superintendent
4) Talk to your elected Trustee

The majority of issues can be solved through the first two calls.

[Wendy Rose @aintnosatchmo]

@BobRae48 Where is the snitch line I can contact to report my concerns about this government spending piles of taxpayer money on unnecessary and destructive teacher snitch lines?

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

Going back to 2014 Ontario curriculum is a roll back on health education, it means we go back to 1998 sex-ed. No mention of consent, bullying, or #LGBTQ. That’s not inclusive or safe education for kids or families. Shameful and unnecessary rollback by Ford #onpoli #canlab

@2018NOT1998 @jdeq This teacher thanks you. The Harris years were marked by relentless attacks against the public school system and teachers. Ford is carrying on from where Harris left off. Your support warms my heart and brings tears of thankfulness to my eyes. #forthestudents
