Funny how atheists try and place so much blame on something they claim is merely the figment of people's imaginations.

What are you trying to say here?

Yes, a lot of things can be blamed on people's devotion to ideas, some of which stem from pure figments of their imagination.

Millions teach their kids about a Homicidal Maniac every Sunday.

Mohammed?

That's Fridays, silly.

It's not sexual "morality" it's sexual REALITY.

You can also teach six year old kids the reality of serial murdering child rapists at Christmas time.

Or you can let them have a childhood.

Or maybe give them a dose of reality about the church and it's long history of pedophilia & hypocrisy.

The larger problem with institutional pedophilia these days concerns more schoolteachers than priests.

But something else is happening in Thorncliffe today that's getting attention.

Ontario's new sex-ed curriculum threatens to become federal election issue


It’s Ottawa’s turn for the uneasy lessons of sex ed.

With school restarted, so is the standoff over Ontario’s new health curriculum, and some angry parents say they’re determined to send a message to federal Liberals over provincial frustrations.

Voters say the curriculum has the capacity to sway the outcome of at least one riding – Don Valley West, home to the Toronto neighbourhood of Thorncliffe Park, where hundreds of parents home-schooled their children this week in protest. Many of them say they see sex education as a sign that the Liberal Party has become less friendly to immigrants, particularly religious Muslims.

For the local Liberal candidate, it doesn’t help that several Toronto-area Conservative candidates have made the sex-ed school curriculum part of their campaigns. When he knocks on doors in Thorncliffe Park, former Liberal MP Rob Oliphant – who held the riding from 2008-11 – has been breaking, gently, with his provincial colleagues’ line on the issue.

“I’m not running provincially, I’m running federally, but ... I will stand with the Thorncliffe community,” he said in an interview. “I think the implementation of the curriculum needs to be looked at.”

Avoiding the conversation is not an option, he said. It’s usually one of the first things that comes up.

Voters in Thorncliffe Park take sex ed more personally than most. Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne, who many hold responsible for the brand-new sex-ed lessons, is also their MPP and has met many of them during her 12 years in office.

Mr. Oliphant served as multiculturalism critic during his term in Ottawa, losing his seat in 2011 by less than 700 votes to Conservative John Carmichael.

The curriculum went into effect on Tuesday, the first day of school. On rainy Wednesday, for the second day in a row, children attended makeshift “classes” in a park within sight of Thorncliffe Park Public School. Next to a sign reading “Grades 1 & 2,” two women wrote on a whiteboard in front of more than 50 children seated on a tarp.

“What goes at the beginning of a sentence?” one woman asked.

“A capital!” the children shouted.

“We want to completely wipe out the Liberals,” said Saeeda Sadaf, a mother who was at the makeshift school in the park.

Oliphant isn't popular in that community. He's gay.

Looks like it should be an easier win for MP Carmichael.
