Per the sex ed curriculum, unfortunately you are fighting on behalf of adults who have their shorts twisted in a knot on this issue. The kids, whom this program is aimed at, do not give a shit. It is the adults who are all perplexed over this. It is the adults who are having trouble understanding the new sexuality that is out there. It is the adults who are trapped between the new world of sexuality and their own values and/or culture. The kids are fine. They are probably laughing at the old people. The kids are the only sane group in this argument.This sex-ed curriculum was supposed to embrace all different genders and same sex marriage. Ontario public schools will revert for now to the 1998 curriculum, a 42-page document that refers to the Internet as the “World Wide Web,” conjuring an era when social media and cyber-bullying were unknown to most parents. Going back in time has drawn concern from educators. Many consider it a disservice to students, and some are saying they will continue teaching the 2015 curriculum.
Sam Hammond, the president of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO), said in a statement that teachers can use their “professional judgement” when delivering the 1998 curriculum and “what things they may explore with students above and beyond” the old document. “ETFO will need to review the situation as to how teachers can deliver the old curriculum while still protecting the safety of students,” he said.
Obviously Ford does not have a clue as to the modern times and how children have been evolving through the sex education. He is stuck in the previous century, while teasing as well as bullying of kids that are "transgender" and "gay" are on the decline. Now we could see that change once again.
Ford only has the knowledge and experience of "illegal" marijuana. There are certain QA standards that the marijuana has to meet before going on to the market. Well his family has a certain history that to me is worrying considering that they were addicted to drugs, and associated with mobs and even the extreme right wing racists. Not calling him personally as a racist but there are certain stances that he is taking that explains his political motives.
Per illegal drugs, please give your head a shake. Doug may have been a hash dealer back in day. Big fucking deal. He wasn't Pablo Escobar, he was a small time dealer selling enough so he smoked for free. The Ford family itself has had its skeletons dragged out on public display. Aside from his hash dealing days as a youngster I have not heard of any addictions or other nefarious things relating to Doug (have you?). I personally have a cousin who has done time in jail, have had other relatives who were alcoholics, no doubt there must have been a wife beater and drug addict in that mix, but what does that have to do with me and my ability to perform my current job? Absolutely nothing! Same as Doug Ford.
Hatred is a nasty emotion because it is so easy to vent because it feels good. Hatred is a drug in itself.
