Ontario's Progressive Conservative government has warned there will be
consequences for teachers who use the modernized version of the lesson plan
introduced by the Liberals in 2015.
That plan included warnings about online bullying and sexting, but opponents
objected to parts addressing same-sex marriage, gender identity and masturbation.
The province has set up a website where parents can report any concerns about
teachers not using the government's "revised interim curriculum."
The president of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario has slammed the
move as a blatant attack on the professional judgment of teachers.
Sam Hammond says abandoning the updated curriculum in favour of an older one
risks putting student safety and human rights at risk.
