This is so ignorant. It was made by adults too, not children. So ridiculous, next you wont want the children to be taught about different religions because they'll get 'confused'. These classes aim to educate children about diversity that is very apparent in the world and it aims to decrease ignorance, fear and the 'unknown' aspect of it all that leads to prejudice, discrimination and sadly hate crimes.
Because no 4-5 year old will understand any of it at that age, nor will they care. All 4-5 year olds are comfortable in their own skin. I have never known one that age who isn't.
I'm so glad I'm not in Toronto facing this dilemma. However, how much time will it take before it becomes pressed on others in our community if not stopped.
I actually checked the bible recently. There is absolutely no mention of anything against being transgender or being any other gender binary, so I really don't understand why a religious christian group is against learning about gender binaries.
Just because you're confused doesn't mean your kids will be. If kids can understand that there is a gender binary, they can probably also understand that not everyone fits that binary. Kids also understand that how they feel might be different from how someone else feels and that's ok. Please, give your kids' intelligence more credit than this.
Many people on both ends of this equation ( Gay people and Heterosexuals) tend to brand the other to the extreme ; " If you do not support this your homophobic" "your shoving homosexuality down our throats". Really , the issue at hand, in my view point, is neither. I agree , let kids be kids.... My opinion only , WAY too young to be introducing kids to such a complicated and multifacited issue.
Look , I'm by no means Homophobic......BUT , I have a child and I certainly think I should have a say in what my 9 year old is taught at school. I do not think its unreasonable of parents to think they should have some say in the process as long as its not fueled by hatred. Really , sexuality is such a complex issue and I think prior to 10 its a bit extreme to be exposing them to such complex matters.
This is precisely the sort of antideluvian thuggery that needs to drag its hairy knuckles back to the Neanderthal age where, even then, it was considered regressive. This stone age shit is tragic, but the section where the editor lovingly selected the hottest moment from A gay pride parade is illuminating. Fail all around.
Teachers are NOT teaching "tolerance" here. This curriculum has an agenda to get YOUNG CHILDREN to question their gender, for Pete's sake! Let kids be kids, stop polluting their minds with information too sophisticated for them to understand.
Educate yourself morons..."A 2001 study that found LGBT adolescents 2.3-2.5 times more likely to commit suicide than their heterosexual peers." This is linked to heterocentric cultures and institutionalised homophobia. In case you don't get it ....this kinda propaganda and the people behind it is what's wrong with this world, not teachers teaching tolerance.
MATTHEW 18.3 ... "BUT WHOEVER STUMBLES ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES WHO PUT FAITH IN ME, IT IS MORE BENEFICIAL FOR HIM TO HAVE HUNG AROUND HIS NECK A MILLSTONE SUCH AS IS TURNED BY AN ASS AND TO BE SUNK IN THE WIDE, OPEN SEA"
in MY WORDS.. if the government does not interfere with this insanity they will be judged by ONE GOD WHO WILL UNLEASH HIS ANGER UPON THEM .

Blame McGuinty for all this sex ed trash that he wants to teach to 4 and 5 year olds...

@albertabeefcowboy84 And what is wrong with teaching children to be comfortable in their own skin, and to treat all others as human beings?
PS -- Jesus taught the exact same thing.

@SuperTRINISH Frankly, I fail to see anything evil, about teaching children to respect each other at all times.

Because you live in a fantasy land of unicorns and mermaids. Its unrealistic to be respected and respectful at all times. Life doesn't work that way.

@rickrickrick7 McVety and his followers could stop corrupting children, by not putting hateful trash into their heads.

Isn't this the type of thing that caused the Hudak Conservatives to lose the election in Ontario last month?

How sad that conservatives have to resort, yet again, to blatant dishonesty and fear-mongering, in order to whip up anti-gay hysteria.
