Union to 'vigorously' defend any teacher who defies Ford on Sex Ed

The union that represents Ontario elementary public school teachers vowed to "vigorously defend" any educator who uses the modernized sex-ed curriculum in the classroom this school year in defiance of the province's decision to impose an older version.

The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO) denounced the Progressive Conservative government's plan to replace the current health and physical education curriculum — revised in 2015 — with a 20-year-old version. This includes sexual education.

"Teachers will not be muzzled by a government whose political agenda takes precedence over the protection and education of their students," Hammond said in a speech opening the organization's annual meeting in Toronto on Monday.

"We need to prepare students for the world of 2015, not the world of 1998."

He added the province's plan is in direct conflict with teachers' responsibilities and obligations toward their students, stressing it's their duty to ensure children's safety and protect fundamental human rights.

Man, you ALT-lefturds really love you some o' that pedophile's sex-ed curriculum, don't ya.

No, their job is to teach them the stuff they NEED to know in order to function in the adult world.
As for the curriculum itself, the Libturds only surveyed 4000 parents, of which fewer than 1400 approved of it. This is what you morons call "overwhelming support", proving once again how mathematically and numerically challenged the ALT-left halfwits are. Either that or their simply bald-faced liars, and idiots like you ate it up like a starving cur.

ETFO is a Marxist organization.

How about the teachers actually teach the 3 "R's" competently in elementary school and let kids be kids, leave the Penis-Anus-Vagina, Molly maybe Billy, Billy maybe Molly, Billy can dress like Molly for the high school teens entering puberty.

Ford once again is brilliant.

Goading the union into defying the provincial legislation opens the door to his ability to hand out tons of licenses to charter and private schools and crush the union root and branch.

It's truly incredible, isn't it MF?... First he tackles the unemployment problem in Ontario and then wipes out the union, and all within weeks of taking office

 

[petros]

Why do they need a Union?

 

[captain morgan]

Because they are not confident

 

[petros]

Wouldn't it be cool if teachers had to go through apprenticeship like a real Union job?

So why even have an elected government if the public service workers will just do whatever they want anyway?

When you are a professional you are taught that you have to follow ethical guidelines.

 

[White_Unifier]

When you are a professional you are taught that you have to follow ethical guidelines.

And who defines those ethical guidelines?

 

[Hoid]

The Profession.

(that's what makes it one)

 

[White_Unifier]

The Profession.

(that's what makes it one)

And the profession can never be wrong and stands above the laws of the state?

 

[Hoid]

Can a doctor take a life because the state decrees it?

 

[Jinentonix]

When you are a professional you are taught that you have to follow ethical guidelines.

So guidelines drafted by a convicted pedophile are something you regard as "ethical"? Wow, the ALT-left sure are degrading the definition of a LOT of positive words these days.
And do you know the curriculum is "ethical" or are you just taking your ALT-leftard buddies' word for it because you live way the f*ck out in British California? I mean, for a guy who claims to live on Vancouver Island, you sure think you have your finger on the pulse of what's going in Ontario. Or maybe you simply just can't resist a good ol' ALT-leftard circle jerk.

Doesn't live in BC. Ever hear him talk BC politics?

Yeah, except the plan is to still teach sex ed. What's got the ALT-left all pissed off is the gumbymint doesn't want them programming kids about shit at an age where they are not old enough to make a truly conscious decision about their sexuality. That and no more nonsense about there being genders other than male and female. Which makes me worry about what they're being taught in science about sex and gender. Are they being taught the actual science of biology and evolution or are they being fed pseudo-scientific bullshit there too?

What gender is a hermaphrodite?

 

[Jinentonix]

What gender is a hermaphrodite?

Male AND/OR female as well as an evolutionary dead-end, for the most part. And please, there are about a couple of dozen known true human hermaphrodites on the entire planet. Not to be confused with pseudohermaphrodites.
