Folkens, spokesperson for CURE Halton (Citizens United for Responsible Education), was pleased that the Halton Board of Education listened to concerns expressed by the group at a public forum last month about the proâ€" posed new human sexuality curricuâ€" lum .

They have agreed there are a couple of points they can "reâ€"visit" and "reâ€"do", said Whiting, such as isolating the teacher materiâ€" al from the student material for the parents‘ benefit.
