Specific curriculum conâ€" cerns mentioned included: Q explicit sexual arousal material Q lack of imperative statistics on the emotional and psychological problems associated with early teen sex such as higher drop out rates, higher drug use, greater suicide risk. Q lack of information on the risk of the birth control pill and on sexuâ€" ally transmitted diseases Q the inference that anal and vaginal sex carry equal risks Q the inclusion of ‘good looking‘ and ‘sex‘ under Values in a Relationship and the absence of ‘chastity‘ Q heavy emphasis on the purâ€" chase and use of condoms Q constant and overwhelming focus on the sex act Q lack of emphasis on abstinence Q admirable curriculum princiâ€" ples which simply "wallpaper" but do not change the document‘s conâ€" tent, intent and strategies Q statements such as "Women should be free to initiate the sex act" or "Men are sexual, women are reproductive." "What is a 13â€"yearâ€"old supposed to do with those (statements)?" quesâ€" tioned Stephen. Another major concern raised was individual teachers‘ ability to teach such material, "to assume the role of health counsellor." "Young lives are at risk," said Stephen. "They need accurate and «complete information, appropriate information for their age level." "There are a number of sexually transmitted diseases that young chilâ€" dren can acquire and have for the rest of their life even with one casual sexual encounter," said Dr. Sibbald. "None of this comes out in the proâ€" gram."

(1/4 mile west of Dorval Rd.) 842â€"5222 Internal Medicine and Dermatology, who gave the audience a very descriptive list of sexually transmitâ€" ted diseases and their symptoms, (some of them incurable) wondered "how many students will be comfortâ€" able with teachers who are not going to be comfortable with the material." If teachers are not comfortable with the material, "it may be presentâ€" ed in a poor way, glossed over, not explained thoroughly and a lot will be left up to the students which leads to misunderstanding." % Dr. Sibbald‘s opinion was that the program needed "major simplificaâ€" tion and emphasis on abstaining." He also suggested trial groups of teachers, parents, health care providers and students preâ€"test the material. "It should be audited. They should show justification for the proâ€" gram before its implemented," he said. Dr. Sibbald suggested parents approach the board with their conâ€" cerns from a "scientific" as opposed to emotional point of view. How is it possible for the issue of Quebec independence to be put to a referendum yet a "fundamental social issue" such as this curriculum "goes unnoticed?" commented one parent. "I wouldn‘t have even known about it if I hadn‘t seen your invitaâ€" tion (in the press)," he said. There is a special meeting of the board to discuss the Healthy Sexuality curriculum Monday at 7:30 p.m. at the J.W. Singleton Education Centre on Guelph Line in Burlington. Twentyâ€"two delegations are already confirmed "and they‘re still coming in," said board secretary Mavis Camden.
