The majority of these complaints appear to be coming from Muslims, and suspiciously, the anonymous bulletins full of misinformation are written in Arabic:
"Peel mother Firani Siddiqui will keep her two younger children home to protest the curriculum she said breaches her right to decide when her children learn sensitive sexual information.
“I don’t want teachers to tell my children that masturbation is a healthy thing — it’s a no no; maybe I don’t want her to think it’s a healthy practice,” said Siddiqui, who said she is not anti-gay, but simply believes the new curriculum gets too explicit too early. “I don’t want a stranger telling my kids about oral and anal sex.”
Schools in Toronto’s largely Muslim neighbourhood of Thorncliffe Park also expect many parents to take part in the sex-ed boycott of school next week, and also try to opt out of the curriculum next fall, said Trustee Gerri Gershon."
