TORONTO — Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown is promising to scrap the Liberals’ sex-ed curriculum if his party forms government after the 2018 election. But parts of the curriculum were controversial for some parents, who complained that the government should have consulted them more. Brown told The Canadian Press in an interview in June that he would not repeal the curriculum if elected. “But what I would say is that I do want to see our curriculum updated,” he said at the time. During the party’s leadership race last year, Brown spoke at a rally protesting the sex-ed curriculum, saying, “Teachers should teach facts about sex education, not values,” without identifying what parts of the curriculum he felt were teaching values.
