TORONTO—Throughout the protestations and comments during question period regarding the new Ontario government’s scrapping of the 2015 sex-education curriculum, the message from Premier Doug Ford has been consistent: The province will consult parents before deciding what should or shouldn’t be taught to their children on this controversial subject.
The curriculum brought in by the previous Liberal government in 2015 was seen as problematic by many parents who found the extent of the teachings diverging too far from their own values.
