Toronto school board website links to veggie sex site

Typical hardliner religious zealots making a pointless complaint.

1) It's educational.
2) It's not pornographic or inappropriate in any way. Also, the site is very plain and boring with no graphic images (that I could see)
3) Sex is healthy, and having resources to learn is nothing but benificial to kids/adults who wish to read the information on this site.

Just to show you how stupid and uneducated the people complaining are:

Sex is everywhere -- on beer commercials, billboards, and in music lyrics. But most messages we get tell us that sex is something dirty that we shouldn't talk about or an act of violence. Most of us learn that our bodies, and our sex, are things to be ashamed of. Most of us learn that sex means a man on top of a woman, and that the only other choice is abstinence. But sex can be lots of things ...
Women have sex with women, men have sex with men, women have sex with men -- and sometimes the best sex is with yourself!

I'm not religious at all, but I can't agree that the complaints are pointless....

lol, yeah I thought that was a awkwardly phrased. But it's nothing worse than I've seen in a porno as a teenager.

reply to PX Eliezer
Kids will be curious either way, and they will find it either way. The difference is, would you rather they learn it from someone who teaches a safe and proper thing, or that they learn it from some cheap hardcore porn videos and think that it's the way it's supposed to be?

If anything, I wish that schools had a much better sex ed class, and earlier. Better they learn the proper thing early on, then find out the wrong way by themselves or through Internet and start spreading STDs and get pregnant at 15-16.

Teaching Sex Ed offends people too.

reply to PX Eliezer
Heheheheheh ok this entire topic has made my day a bit brighter.

Heck we all know a large swath of society is devoted to the notion sex is original sin, bad, and any mention of it is regarded as undesirable.

Almost makes you wonder how we end up with some many uptight religious people though. Hard to have uptight religious people if they have trouble having anything to do with sex.

Then again, if they know nothing about sex, I suppose they just end up with a lot of unexpected pregnancies.

If that's really the information that was linked to on the TDSB site, I'm in agreement that it presents way too much information.

My idea of sex ed in lower school (or even in high school) is that it is supposed to teach the basics of male/female anatomy, safe sex procedures and the other risks associated with sexual intercourse. It should be conducted in a manner that encourages the children (yes, they're still children) to be comfortable with the subject and give them the opportunity to ask questions.

If they ask questions about that kinkier stuff, the teacher should be comfortable and able to provide answers, but I don't think that information should be provided unprompted to the entire class.

How are they going to have time for their other classes when they've got so much to study in sex ed?

Complainant is Charles McVety.

quote:

---

In December 2010, Crossroads Television System (CTS) pulled Word TV off the air, following a decision by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) for statements made by McVety which were deemed to be in violation of the Council's standards and due to a lack of compliance with CTS's own code of ethics.[15] The first violation pertained to the relationship between opinion and fact with the Council finding against Word TV "because of the false and misleading underpinnings" of a "barrage of seemingly trustworthy information" that was determined by the CBSC to be "neither full, fair nor proper." Word TV was found in violation of the Council's broadcast codes for two errors of fact expressed by McVety in his discussion of gay people, one pertaining to erroneous statements that the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario and the Alberta Human Rights Commission [16] had a 100% "conviction rate" and the other pertaining to the criminalization of commentary by Bill C-250, an act to amend the Criminal Code with reference to hate propaganda, after the acceptance of which McVety stated erroneously that “it is now a crime to speak against homosexuality.” As pertains to the Ontario Government's proposed revision of the Ontario school curriculum, the CBSC found McVety's "twisting of the purpose of the revisions is wrong-headed, unfair and improper." McVety had stated that the curriculum intended to "teach homosexuality". In his statements regarding the Gay Pride Parade, the panel found McVety's implications that homosexuals prey on children " mis-characterizations" which were "excessive, inappropriate, disparaging, and abusive" and in breach of the Human Rights Clauses of its Code of Ethics and its Equitable Portrayal Code as well as other sections of the Equitable Portrayal Code.[17] The offending episodes aired on CTS between July 19, 2009 and February 21, 2010, and was given a rating of "G" in the English Canadian ratings system.[17] The CBSC ordered CTS to announce the ruling at least twice on the air, and to take steps to ensure further breaches of the CBSC's codes do not occur.[18][19]

CTS's banishment of Word TV was originally a temporary move, but in January 2011, it was made permanent when CTS cancelled the program, leading McVety to sue the broadcaster, claiming political persecution.[20] However, CTS has said in a press release that McVety was asked many times to cease his distorting and polarizing behavior, and comply with broadcasting guidelines, yet he refused to do so.[21]

The Miracle Channel was not named in the complaint, and is not subject to the CBSC ruling; as of April 2011, The Miracle Channel still airs Word TV.[22]

Ha, vegetable consent, Love It!

and

PX Eliezer, as long as you washed your vegetables prior to use, there should be no issues. Last time I checked cannot get herpes etc from a cucumber. Do recommend you have at least two at your disposal for sanitary reasons.

What if they showed a harmony remote instead?
