TORONTO — Toronto Jewish day schools are mostly tight-lipped when it comes to discussing Ontario’s proposed sex education curriculum or their own teachings on the subject.
Many elementary schools contacted by The CJN did not return calls or emails seeking comment on the new Ontario health curriculum or what, to date, has been taught on the subject of human reproduction.
Starting next fall, Ontario’s revamped sex education curriculum will see children as young as six learn about sexual consent, while eight-year-olds will be taught about same-sex relationships.
