Two Toronto Catholic District School Board trustees want the Ministry of Education to allow the board to delay implementation of the province’s new sex-ed curriculum.
Angela Kennedy and Garry Tanuan say in a news release that they will be introducing a motion at tonight’s board meeting asking fellow trustees to support the idea of a one-year delay.

Some parent groups have protested the new curriculum — expected to be introduced at all Ontario schools in the fall — but the province contends updated information on healthy relationships, consent and cyber-bullying is long overdue.
