TORONTO—Ontario’s new Progressive Conservative government will be scrapping the sex education curriculum brought in by the previous Liberal government, starting with the school year in September.

Education Minister Lisa Thompson said schools will be going back to the old curriculum that was in place before 2015.  The curriculum will remain in effect until the government completes a “fulsome consultation respecting parents” on how to create a new curriculum, Thompson added.
