Kathleen Wynne rips Monte McNaughton over sex-ed protest speech
Premier Kathleen Wynne says it is “outrageous” and “irresponsible” that a Tory MPP is undermining the publicly funded school system by advocating that parents home-school their children instead.
Progressive Conservative MPP Monte McNaughton, who fiercely opposes the Liberal government’s new sex-ed curriculum, was a speaker at an information session last week in London, Ont., on home schooling and parents’ legal rights.
“For an MPP at Queen’s Park … to be at a sort of ‘how to withdraw your kids from school’ seems pretty outrageous to me,” Wynne told the Star.
