"I believe that the issue of a more abstinenceâ€"oriented program coupled with the deletion of some of the more explicit areas of this document, will offer a compromise to both sides in this debate while still maintaining an extremely useful and informative course of study for our students," reaâ€" soned Cooper. Reid‘s motions called for reviewâ€" ing and modifying the information on birth control to include possible side effects; eliminating the arousal mateâ€" rial in the Condom section and makâ€" ing the Condom section of the curâ€" riculum one of fact, withdrawing the reference to the purchase of condoms being similar to the buying of jeans. Burlington trustee Anne Barbu‘s attempt to have the board rules waived and Cooper‘s motion voted on Thursday,was defeated but by a slim margin which gives CURE _ (Citizens United for Responsible Education) spokesperson John Teklenburg hope. "I‘m optimistic that the public will, through the trustees, win this issue," said Teklenburg, who took strong exception to Oakville Ward 4 trustee Penny Siebert‘s comment that CURE didn‘t speak for Halton parents.

CURE simply wants more emphasis on abstinence as an alternative, he said. "The public is not getting the truth. It is being slanted, it is being bent," he said. In his presentation to the board _ Thursday night, Teklenburg waved a copy of the Durham Board of Education‘s Postponing Sexual Involvement teacher resource, which states that abstinence is a mandatory topic in the board and relevant for disâ€" cussion by students from Grades 7 to 12. Barrett, who initially said there was no such curriculum in Durham, commented Teklenburg, is also now saying that the contents of the Durham abstinence curriculum are found within the Halton one. "You try to find one page between the two curriculums which match up," he said. Teklenburg said his group, which he pointed out is not the only group of concerned parents, will be "on alert" for the next meeting and "the ones responsible will be held accountable." Barbu‘s motion that information sessions for parents would be held at every high school prior to the curricuâ€" lum being taught, was carried. SEPARATED? Do You Know Your Legal Rights?
