Toronto’s public school board says it is not promoting threesomes or sex with vegetables, despite accusations from a Christian group over a poster campaign and website links to questionable material.

Rev. Charles McVety said he has written to the province’s attorney-general asking for an investigation of the Toronto District School Board, arguing it is corrupting minors and violating Section 172 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

“The Toronto school board has educational material, teaching material, for teachers to prepare their lessons. One of their lessons is supposedly about safe sex,” and provides a link to an American website “that’s filthy” and explicitly refers to using vegetables and other items in sexual play.

“Are they really going to teach our children to put vegetables up each other’s rear ends? It’s just outrageous.”

This is a serious issue, he added, “and we are asking the attorney-general to exercise the law of Canada to protect the children of Ontario.”

Ryan Bird, a spokesperson for the Toronto District School Board, said the links “are not part of the curriculum or taught in the classroom. What is taught in the classroom is guided by the Ontario curriculum and OPHEA (Ontario Physical and Health Education Association).

“The intent behind this page of resources was to provide sexual health information that’s not covered as part of the curriculum for those that are interested.

“We will review links that people express concerns about. In this case, we’re aware that some people have expressed concerns and we will review the links in question.”

McVety has also complained about a poster campaign that in part shows three stick figures in a heart, and says he’s concerned that it promotes three-way sex.

Bird said the posters are to show that people can “love both genders.”

McVety, president of the Canada Christian College, is also opposed to a “queer-centric” school that may be proposed to the board.
