to be clear: i'm not interested in compromising on the sex-ed curriculum. in fact, as mentioned here, it still has a long ways to go in removing religion from the system and replacing it with science.

i would push back hard from the other direction.

i don't think that students should be given waivers; if parents take them out of class, the students should be given failing grades and forced to redo the year. no exceptions.

and, if either wynne or horwath take compromising tones on this, it will be a vote breaker: i'll vote for the one that takes the stronger stance against ford.

and, if they're both unacceptable, i could very well not vote at all.
