Sexual-education curriculum protests appear headed to Thunder Bay.

Both local constituency offices are among 92 ridings across the province slated for hour-long protests on Sept. 2, backed by the Campaign Life Coalition in response to the provincial government’s planned changes to the sexual education curriculum in Ontario schools.

The organization hopes to hold protests in all 107 ridings.

The group says the planned changes have outraged hundreds of thousands of parents.

“This Liberal sexual education curriculum will sexualize elementary school children, making them more vulnerable to exploitation by adults. It will launch many others into premature sexual experimentation, bringing with it all the inherent psychological, emotional and health risks associated,” the group writes on its website.

The group says mandatory instruction in the classroom prevents parents from “protecting their children from material they could judge age-inappropriate or immoral.”

The simultaneous protests are scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. on Sept. 2.
