You know what makes things better? Ignorance. Best to keep kids in the dark about their bodies, lest them touch themselves and the Devil comes out.

The Alberta government says it's moving ahead this fall with legislation that would require parents to proactively sign up to have their children opt-in, rather than the usual practice of opting out, for sex education.

It's a move that has teachers wondering what problem the province is looking to solve.

"We intend to propose legislation this fall and will continue to consult with stakeholders throughout the implementation of these policies," Nicolaides said.

It's not clear what the legislation might look like, but Premier Danielle Smith said in February it would involve parents opting-in their children to each formal lesson on sexual health.

Preliminary data from the province says cases of gonorrhea ticked up to 1,334 in the first quarter of 2024 from 1,247 in the same period of 2022. Chlamydia also went up to 4,234 cases from 4,030.

Treating STD's, always good for keeping healthcare costs down...though I guess they could switch to using natural cures?
