A Straight Regional School Board member, Frank Machnic, wants to put an end to two school sexual health programs by denying the Antigonish Women’s Resource Centre access to district schools.
The article on CBC News quotes Machnic:
“Addictions or sexual orientation or human sexuality are sensitive issues. We’re not talking about algebra and chemistry here. We’re talking about things that have moral connotations.”
Original, right? Students shouldn’t be learning about sex because then they’ll want to have it, and we all know premarital sex is immoral. And one of the programs Machnic wants to cut? The Healthy Relationships for Youth program. Yup, nothing’s going to make those students hornier than a lesson on healthy relationships. I don’t even want to imagine what would happen if the AWRC taught acceptance no matter one’s sexuality. The world just might implode.
Thanks to Michelle for the heads up.
