THE OAKVILLE BEAVER (Continued from page 1) who is urging most of the curriculum be scrapped in favor of a chastity curâ€" riculum which has been proven effecâ€" tive "There are no teaching strategies for abstinence. There are no student activities other than the video," she added. The "nature and extent of material on sexual arousal, sexual touch and activity" undermines any mention of abstinence, she stated. As for living up to promises of helping students make informed, responsible decisions, Stephen feels the curriculum is incomplete and inacâ€" curate in some areas, too mature and ~ insensitive in others and pure political propaganda in still others.

A Bachelor of Science teacher at both McMaster University and Sheridan College with a Masters in Education, a parent, and an active volâ€" unteer in educational circles, Stephen has produced a comprehensive response to the board‘s proposed curâ€" riculum changes which are set for implementation this fall. "The preponderence of teaching in this curriculum is about the sexual act, not about sexuality," she said. The inference in the curriculum is that most teens are already sexually active and simply need guidance on how to do it more safely and more enjoyably, said Stephen. "This is not supported by research with states that a maximum of 40% of kids have had at least one sexual encounter by Grade 12. That‘s not the majority, that‘s not the routine in a teen‘s life. That‘s not teaching to the majority," she said. The general public would not want their teens to be sexually active, she believes, "so why gear a curriculum on the basis that they are, or will be sexually active?" "It‘s a selfâ€"fulfilling prophecy," she said. "It caters to the lowest common denominator." Stephen said kids are getting a conâ€" flicting message. Schools are antiâ€" smoking, anti drugs and anti violence. "We do not teach to that; we teach against that." If kids were caught in the act on school property, Stephen said she doubts whether the principal would accept that behaviour, yet it would be behaviour taught explicity in their ~â€" classrooms. A public meeting to discuss the curriculum as well as to give parents advice on how to direct their conâ€" cerns, and to whom at the board, will be held June 14th at 7:30 p.m. at St. Marguerite d‘ Youville School, 1359 Bayshire. It is possible the board will be addressed by delegations on this subâ€" ject at the final board meeting of the year, June 23rd, if a bylaw restricting delegations when an item is not on the agenda, is ‘loosened‘, says Board Chair Dave Whiting, a precedent setâ€" ting move which could be instigated at tonight‘s board meeting. Whiting said reaction from trustees to parental concerns would be hard to predict but he was concerned about "politicians fooling around with curâ€" riculum." "We‘re not educators he said. "We could start to get political agenâ€" das into the curriculum." Copies of the curriculum are availâ€" able through the board by contacting Physical Education Consultant Sue Amos or Superintendent of Instructional Services, Graeme Barrett. Stephen cited specific concerns such as the bias information on aborâ€" tion which is nothing more than "political propaganda" listing details of accessibility, costs, what the doctor is paid etc. ""What does that have to do with a curriculum on healthy sexuality?" Nowhere in the curiculum does it list social agencies which support teens who wish to keep their babies, said Stephen. Likewise information on birth conâ€" trol â€" which comes directly from a Family Planning clinic in Atlanta Georgia â€" focuses on the benefits of taking the pill, but doesn‘t list the risks, suggesting a teen talk to their doctor. Under the heading of Values in a June 8, 1991 _Program puts little stock in chastity says mother Relationship, are ‘sex‘ and ‘goo looking‘ mixed in with sense C humor, easy to talk to etc. "Note that chastity is not a value a relationship. If the curriculum su ports abstinence why does it not me: tion it there? Given the principl about inclusion of the family, why they not support average family v ues?" When the curriculum chang were first made public earlier this y one of CURE‘s (Citizens United Responsible Education) concerns that the teacher material â€" mo detailed information â€" was mixed with the student resource material. Although the board might acco modate CURE on this one, if t teachers minds are bias, they hav captive audience of impressional young teens they can influence, saj Stephen. Other statistics that are glarin missing are those which state t youths who are sexually active e in their teens, are "seven times m likely to drop out of school, use dru. or commit suicide." ""Nowhere does it address the em tional and psychological cons quences of early sexual activity," s! continued. Stephen also takes exception to fact that 13 and 14â€"yearâ€"olds a addressed in the curriculum as "co ples" and the information provid them is straight out of a counselli session for sexually disfunction adult couples.
