Angela Kennedy, chair of the Toronto Catholic School Board, got in touch with Out in the Open after listening to last week's episode on The Sex Talk,
to explain why her thinking on the subject had changed after she
learned that one of her adult sons, Brian, had been sexually abused at
age 11.
As a trustee for the Catholic board last year, she was critical of Ontario's sex-education curriculum. She called for a delay on the implementation of the plan, and released a statement last year, reading in part, "Catholic schools shouldn't be forced to teach a program that doesn't ground the expression of sexuality in love and marriage."
