I strongly support an updated curriculum that takes into account changing attitudes and the world in which children now dwell. It was a mistake for a letter to go out to Scarborough-Rouge River voters saying that I would “scrap” the updated curriculum. It is certainly true many of the changes to the curriculum are hot topics in the Scarborough-Rouge River by-election. I do not want people voting in Scarborough-Rouge River thinking I will scrap sex education. I will always support consulting with parents and giving them a voice, but I will never support intolerance in our society.
