Burlington trustee Noel Cooper, who recommended the addition of an absti- nence segment and the elimination of the game board, said, of the “in excess of 50 people” he had spoken to in the past two weeks, not one felt the question and game board section was appropri- ate. Reid said it would be nice to have “a Halton document, not an exclusionary document out there.” “A document we can look at and say, ‘Gee, this is a success,” said Ward 2 trustee Cheryl Reid, who called for revi- sions and modifications, and a consis- tent teacher handbook for all schools. The two trustees who brought the revision notices to the table spoke pas- sionately about the need to create a “user-friendly” document (Con’tinued from page 1) references to the purchase of condoms as similar to the purchase of jeans.

Ward 3 tmstee John Scheel agreed with comments made by parent Gordon Brown that a process is lacking to accept public input on such an issue. “The administration is in a comer defending its turf,” he said. Siebert feared the next line-up of del- egations wanting to eliminate feminist writers from the English curriculum or porlray Christopher Columbus as a vil- lain in History lessons. “I, for one, do not want to get in the middle of these debates,” said Sieben. Siebert felt the information sessions before the teaching of the curriculum, and the option for parents to remove their child from the program, were safe- guards enough. She expressed anger “that a small group of people have the nerve to try and keep my child from learning essential information.” SieberL .-â€"._nm~-â€"..c-.â€".â€" H Hughes, Rapp, Collins Kelsey‘s Iabatt Breweries of Canada LeBlanc Royle Telecom Oakville Beaver Oakville Fire Department Omnilex Management Inc.

The parents are well prepared and that scans them,” said Stephen. Stephen said she was surprised at the anger and obstructive attitude parents have experienced in dealing with the board. “Trustees are not listening to research,” she said. Abstinence is becoming a focus because teens are requesting it, said Stephen, adding even Planned Parenthood is now preaching absti- nence. “They are just beginning to establish their sexuality,” said Hamilton. “We need to teach them how to say no.” Hamilton, who teaches nursing at Ryerson Polytechnical University, urged the board not “to cram all this informa- tion” into a Grade 9 health class. During her presentation to the board, Stephen said in attempting to discuss her concerns with board officials, she had confronted a staff that was “hostile, uninformed and non-communicative.” Stephen said she was also questioned about her professional credentials “as if being a conoemed parent and taxpayer is not enough.” “They just didn’t listen to what we said,” said Stephen. “1 was hoping there would be a dialogue...” the ‘administmfion did not listen to their concerns which were backed “with doc- umented research.”
