Planned Parenthood in Canada is upset after the Saskatchewan education minister, Dustin Duncan, suspended them from teaching in schools in the province. It emerged that Planned Parenthood brought a sexually graphic trivia game to a school in Lumsden, Sask. on June 19 that was distributed to children as a resource following a sex education presentation.
The "Using sex: From A–Z Cards" game features cartoon characters and text explaining various sex acts and fetishes, including fecal fetishes and sucking semen from a partner's anus.
The organization's executive director stands by the sex-positive "queer" content brought into the classroom using a loophole where guides do not have to go through a school approval process like a curriculum does.
“It’s really concerning to me that the resources that are being targeted are resources that are specifically produced by and for LGBTQ2 youth to really demystify sex and sexualities that have been hidden, stigmatized and outlawed at some point in our history that aren’t represented in the curriculum,” Planned Parenthood (Canada) executive director Julian Wotherspoon said in an interview with Global News.
A local concerned parent who called Planned Parenthood about the incident told Western Standard that Wotherspoon said: "[I]t actually makes me happy that you called with this feedback because it means it’s working."
Across North America, parents and mainly conservative groups have heightened their scrutiny of LGBTQIA2S+ or trans ideology and events aimed at children. Numerous videos and photos have emerged from a dozen Pride-related events where public nudity or sex acts are performed in the presence of children. Supporters of the events say queer youth need a sex-positive environment that is affirming of their identities.
