Premier Doug Ford is warning teachers who use a now-repealed sex-education curriculum will face consequences.
The moves comes as the government invites parents to anonymously report their concerns about education to his government using a website critics dubbed a “snitch line.”
Ford also announced broad consultations on education reforms to be launched next month, but said that until a new sex-ed document is drafted, teachers should use a “revised interim curriculum” his P-C government has posted online.
The warning is drawing scorn of the province’s largest teachers’ unions, which have vowed to defend educators who continue to use the modernized version of the sex-ed curriculum updated under the previous Liberal government in 2015.
The Avon Maitland District School Board voted last Friday to stand behind keeping in place sex education from the 2015 curriculum.
Sam Hammond, president of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, accuses the government of “manufacturing a crisis” instead of addressing issues like school underfunding
