[Michael Hardner]

Tried to investigate specific claims about what is being taught in Canada with @Nationalist

The discussion ended when we didn't get specific examples.  Last post:

I found this: https://ok2bme.ca/resources/parents-educators/resources-for-schools-and-classrooms/

It provides lesson ideas for teachers for LGBTQ2+ education in Ontario.  

And this one for BC - https://bc.sogieducation.org/sogi3

I'm just trying to start a library shelf for end-points of the discussion is all.

Why bother? From the original post title onwards it's obvious that the usual gang of dinosaurs feels the subject is deviant. disgusting and shouldn't be discussed at all.

There's more of a spectrum of opinions on this than one might assume.

Zeitgeist:

 Kids do need to learn about reproductive cycles, including ovulation and menstruation.  They need to know how females become pregnant and learn about the risks of STD’s, the responsibilities of raising a child, etc.  They need to learn about consent and the level of responsibility required to manage sexual behaviour, which is why many social teachings, religious and otherwise, promote abstinence for young people and people who aren’t in committed relationships.

I'm still calling for examples.   I'm going to keep this thread as a list of discussion points rather than have the discussion here on the thread itself.

I read this today.  Somewhat disturbing:

This is why I prefer teachers stick to facts or teaching theories as theory instead of teaching theory as facts.

Let's try to include source material when we can.
