With just a few days to go before the first day of school, the battle over the new sex ed curriculum is heating up again. Protest were held outside Liberal MPP Offices across the province today. The protests were organized by Campaign for Life Coaliton, which opposes the changes – the first in 17 years – made to the sex ed curriculum.

The Peel District School Board director told parents the board won’t tolerate requests for students to be exempt from learning about sexual orientation or gender identity, saying parents can only remove their children from the sex-ed portion for religious reasons.
