On April 22, 2010, Premier Dalton McGuinty and his Education Minister Leona Dombrowsky announced a new Sex Education program for public and Catholic schools in Ontario. This plan had been prepared beforehand by then Education Minister Kathleen Wynne, who lives a lesbian lifestyle with her same-sex partner.

            The program’s Grade 1 demands that children learn all parts of the human body including all sexual parts.

            Grade 3 will tell children that they cannot be certain whether they are boys or girls. One may be a boy on the outside but a girl on the inside, or vice versa.

            Grade 6 will explain sexual perversions such as oral and anal sex, no doubt with appropriate illustrations.

            In Grade 8 students will be told that marriage between men and women with same-sex attractions is just as good as marriage between normal husbands and wives.

                 Newspapers brought opposing headlines:

            “No sex-ed exemptions: Premier,” read one newspaper headline. “McGuinty says Catholic schools must teach new curriculum” (Toronto’s Metro, April 22/10)

            “Catholic board refuses new sex education curriculum” “Opposes McGuinty (National Post, April 22).

            What is the truth? The Catholic school system and the Bishops of Ontario have no intention of allowing the McGuinty plan to be part of their curriculum.

            Nor should the public schools.

            The McGuinty – Kathleen Wynne sex ed plan for elementary schools suffers from major errors:

1)     False philosophy: It is based on the premise that information is knowledge and that knowledge leads to virtue. History shows that there is no truth to this.

2)     False statecraft: It holds that the province of Ontario can tell schools, public and Catholic, what to teach without input from parents and prior province-wide discussions.

3)     False history: That the province of Ontario can tell Catholics, who have had their own school system since the British North America Act in 1867, how they should teach ethics and morals. The Canadian constitution holds otherwise.

4)     False information: Nothing is more harmful to children than providing them with knowledge of sexual perversions held by small sections of society who have replaced God’s commandments with their own.

5)     False psychology: that educating children consists of pumping information into them, and voila, out comes the ideal citizen. In reality, the education of children is a delicate thing. During the “latency” period which normally lasts from age 6 to 12, children should not be confronted with sexual knowledge at all, except by their parents and then only when they themselves ask questions.

      With respect to homosexual behaviour the following should be noted:

§         homosexual behaviour is not a “civil right”;

§         homosexual behaviour is not genetic:

§         homosexual behaviour is not innate;

§         homosexual behaviour is destructive to individuals and to society;

§         homosexual behaviour is changeable;

Withdrawal

            On April 23, the next day, Premier Dalton McGuinty withdrew the program because of the hostile reaction throughout the province, once Charles McVety, President of Canada Christian College in Toronto blew the whistle on what had for all practical purposes been a secret document. Premier McGuinty himself claimed, he had no idea of what the new program contained.

McGuinty remains responsible

            McGuinty is a public defender of both legal abortion and same-sex “marriage.” He opened the door to the homosexual activists to do what they had announced they would do since 2007: change the school curriculum and corrupt the children.

            Ontarians must not let their guard down just because McGuinty has called a halt to the program. This may well be temporary.

            Catholics should organize resistance groups among themselves.

            Note: Christian and Catholic opposition to perverted sex ed is not just for Christians. Their opposition is based on the natural moral law given by God. It means that it is based on reason applicable to all citizens. Neither Catholic nor public schools should accept McGuinty’s wilful imposition of this program.
