Teresa Norris calls the material age appropriate and in line with the provincial curriculum, and says she was shocked when Premier Blaine Higgs said the group would be banned from future presentations
The head of a non-profit group working to promote reproductive health says she is “incensed” that New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs has misrepresented her high school sexual education presentation.
Norris’s group HPV Global Action operates the Thirsty for the Talk sexual education group, and she says she has delivered the presentation to about 12 New Brunswick high schools this year. The slide Higgs shared featured questions such as, “Do girls masturbate?” and “Does it hurt when you do it for the first time?” and “Is it normal to watch porn like people watch TV series,” among others.
He said the Department of Education told him the presentation was supposed to be about human papillomavirus and the group shared materials beyond that scope.
