Although political opposition to Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s plan to repeal the province’s controversial 2015 sex education curriculum continues, the Ford government is standing its ground.
Amid union, political, and interest-group backlash against the repeal, some teachers have indicated they wanted to keep the 2015 curriculum upon the return to school in September, regardless of the government stipulating that the 1998-2014 curriculum be used until a new one is crafted that is based on broad consultations with the public.
