OUTRAGE OF ONTARIO'S TEACHERS

  Ontario teachers’ unions and the provincial government are at war, again. That’s something we have seen far too often over the last 20-plus years.
  This time the fight is ostensibly over the elementary school sex-education curriculum. Teachers’ union leaders are outraged over the temporary reversion to a curriculum last taught in 2014. They are doubly outraged by Premier Doug Ford’s announcement that parents can complain by phone to the Ontario College of Teachers if teachers don’t follow that curriculum.
  The premise of the teachers’ outrage is that it is unfair and unreasonable for the person ultimately in charge of the provincial education system to tell them what to do, as if they were mere employees.
