The New Brunswick Premier banned an organization from giving sex-ed presentations after seeing one slide
Those delicate flowers, you must understand, were probably still playing with Barbies and Pokémon cards until they were poisoned by talk of sex at school. Indeed, under the noses of both parents and Premier Blaine Higgs, an organization that teaches kids about human sexuality and safe sex managed to enter the province’s schools and teach kids about human sexuality and safe sex.
Now, it might seem like these are perfectly normal questions for teenagers to ask as they contend with raging hormones and navigate their own sexuality. One might also argue that it is good that they are posing these sorts of questions to professionals, rather than seeking out answers from peers or on the internet, or not seeking out answers at all.
Mr. Higgs claimed that the group giving the presentation was only supposed to teach students about HPV – a claim that the head of the organization, which is called HPV Global Action, denied in an interview withsexual-education presentations by third-party organizations in schools. The controversy there arose after a student picked up material inadvertently left by a presenter that used cartoon illustrations to depict sexual topics and positions.
