"This column is dedicated to the proposition that Canada (and indeed the world) is in a crisis situation and that fundamental social change is required to remedy this situation." - The First Column, Lambda November 2, 1971 This blog is inspired by my column of the same name in the Laurentian University Newspaper, Lambda, from 1971-1973. The title refers to the concept of subverting the system from within. To read key excerpts from those columns read the first few posts in this blog.
When should students learn about sex in the classroom?
Before or after they learn about it in the schoolyard?
Before or after they start having sex?
When professional educators deem it appropriate or when the Roman Catholic Church says it's allowed?

I'm a parent of teens. I'm all for the new curriculum. Doubtless, it was presented to the press in the most inflammatory way possible. I absolutely don't want the religious conservatives of ANY religious group limiting the knowledge of my kids. Sad day for Ontario, working hard to have professionals and experts come up with a program only to have the naive and the religious groups sabotage it. What most parents refuse to admit, but its totally true, is most of the time, they're just making it up as they go along.
