I’m proud of these Ontario teachers who are refusing to teach the 1998 sex ed curriculum that Doug Ford is trying to impose in the fall. I hope more teachers follow suit.

Text of tweets:

Shannon Salisbury‏:

I absolutely will not teach a health curriculum that is 20 years old. 

It is unethical for me to do so, and I’m pretty sure it would contravene the standards of practice of my profession. 

Just a reminder: the word consent appears ZERO times in the 1998 iteration.

Derik Chica‏:

I am a teacher.  I am not a curriculum robot. 

I will teach consent, Truth and Reconciliation, and gender/sexual diversities. Equity policy will let me do this. 

I will not bring my classroom back decades because @LisaThompsonMPP decided to turn “curriculum” back decades #ONpoli

Be prepared to defend these teachers, and those like them, should they face backlash from administrators / school boards.  Be prepared to fight for them, for their jobs, and for the quality education they offer to their students.
