Ontario government releases new sex-ed curriculum, similar to scrapped version

Ontario’s new sex education curriculum retains many elements of a previous Liberal government document that sparked controversy and that the Progressive Conservatives had slammed as ideological.

In the new elementary curriculum, released Wednesday, sexual orientation will be a mandatory topic taught in Grade 5, earlier than in the Liberals’ 2015 curriculum, which had it in Grade 6. Gender identity will be a mandatory topic in Grade 8 – it was previously mandatory in Grade 6.
