I’m proud of these Ontario teachers who are refusing to teach the 1998 sex ed curriculum that Doug Ford is trying to impose in the fall. I hope more teachers follow suit.
Text of tweets:
I absolutely will not teach a health curriculum that is 20 years old.
It is unethical for me to do so, and I’m pretty sure it would contravene the standards of practice of my profession.
Just a reminder: the word consent appears ZERO times in the 1998 iteration.

I am a teacher. I am not a curriculum robot.
I will teach consent, Truth and Reconciliation, and gender/sexual diversities. Equity policy will let me do this.
I will not bring my classroom back decades because @LisaThompsonMPP decided to turn “curriculum” back decades #ONpoli
Be prepared to defend these teachers, and those like them, should they face backlash from administrators / school boards. Be prepared to fight for them, for their jobs, and for the quality education they offer to their students.
