Ontario Sex Ed Curriculum Uproar

[MTL]

---

Of the parental objection in Toronto,

---

They either think, as you say,
that the curriculum is actively encouraging premarital or even promiscuous sex,
or at the very least, they believe that the schools is actively downplaying the consequences and severity of the diseases
...and neither of these are true.

Any parent who believes that is either an idiot, grossly misinformed, or is maliciously spreading misinformation.

---

However, a step down from that,

many of the objecting parents would not go so far as to accuse the school of such things,
but they DO object to ABSTINENCE UNTIL MARRIAGE not being stressed ENOUGH;
AND they object to the kids being taught TOO MUCH about sex, by the schools,
including various sexual acts, including anal and oral;

---

But first, last, and most of all,
the objecting parents take issue with ANY degree of normalcy or tolerance being taught to their kids,
about the LGBT.

It really is transparent that this is the real kernel of the issue,
with some parents very vocal about it,
and some parents trying to deny this is the case.

Up until a couple hundred years ago (and possibly today), any society that failed to optimize fertility simply faded away or was overrun by one that did.

A couple hundred years is too short a time to change biology much.  Even culture has sizable inertia.
It has yet to be determined if we are smart enough to survive the excesses enabled by science and its handmaiden, engineering.
I find it unsurprising that culture is slow to catch up with technological changes in reproduction and food production.
Hence the attitude:
If it was good enough for my pappy's pappy, it's good enough for you!

I encountered that specific attitude from my own grandparents.

My response:

If every single generation of humanity was exactly like their parents,
there would be no progress.

And we wouldn't be here, in North America,
because our great grandparents would have taken the world of their great great great grandparents
.....that the Earth was flat.
