The Ontario government is launching a snitch site for parents to lodge complaints against teachers they believe aren't following provincial curriculum.

In a press release issued Wednesday, Premier Doug Ford warned teachers against teaching the 2015 sex-ed curriculum the Progressive Conservatives repealed in July.

"We expect our teachers, principals and school board officials to fulfill their obligations to parents and children when it comes to what our students learn in the classroom," he said.

"We will not tolerate anybody using our children as pawns for grandstanding and political games. And, make no mistake, if we find somebody failing to do their job, we will act."

Jordan Peterson would be proud.

As someone who got my teaching licence in Ontario, this is downright scary. Some parents are legit crazy, and WILL abuse this.

We won't tolerate using students as political tools, but we will use students as political tools ourselves. Hrmm... which side seems to be the good one?

Considering how conditions for teachers seem to be terrible - pretty much around the globe - I really admire the people who still do it. You guys are either insane, or so dedicated that you are willing to go through a ton of work, for comparatively low wage, so you can hammer some education into the brains of often ungrateful kids.

Also, fuck this idea, actively poisoning teacher-parent-pupil relationship.

Does the provincial government have anything to do with the hiring and firing of teachers? What are they going to do if the school board refuses?

I thought Snitches get Stitches implies that the person who tells on the other (the Snitch) is the one that gets beat up, does that mean the parents complaining get beaten up lol?

It's gonna rule when he's the PM sometime in the next decade.

Like most things in Canadian politics, the whole thing seems ill conceived and poorly thought out from top to bottom.

Last I checked Ontario teachers are paid quite well, as they should be. Whenever I hear about how little US teachers make it blows my mind. This is still absurd.

Apparently teachers are now considered the enemy.
Might as well start having them spread Conservative and religious propaganda and have them teach that as well.
Add lessons on how sexual orientation is a choice and how Kathleen Wynne was wicked and should be regarded as the devil.

In a just world, every single teacher's union in the province would go on indefinite strike just to stick it to this fucker.

They're also reverting the math curriculum from the discovery method back to formulas and memorization.

My sister is a teacher here in Ontario and she is LIVID. All this happening 2 weeks before the start of school is causing all their summer planning to go out the window.

If you're a conservative fuckwit who wins an election when the overwhelming majority of the electorate votes against you (while being ideologically opposed to you), the bullshit you decide to do should only be applicable to the ridings that voted for you. Sixty percent of Ontario voters didn't vote for this Canadian taliban.

It has to be a prerequisite of conservatives to be giant assholes in order to have their membership with the party.

The most updated basic legal and clinical body knowledge seems a good thing to not rollback recklessly. Wonder if an attorney will find a human rights complaint.
The investigate and litigated cost of any firing related to this keep-to-the-party-ideology snitch line could add up.

Oh this is the first salvo against teachers and their salaries.

Well instructed kids who might lean liberal in the future sets off alarms.

Parents complain about the dumbest shit to teachers. At my schools graduation, a group of parents complained the girls' skirts were too short.

So having that level of pettiness given an official government-led snitching platform sucks.

I think it's mostly in the Americas where teaching has become so bad.

And yet, when I expressed concerns about Ontario's recent political direction, I was told it was NBD. I'm such a fear-mongerer!

Yup just did this as well. Everyone on reset era should just troll the fuck out of this stupid tool. So embarrassed for this province right now.

Not a bad protest method tbh. I had planned to do much the same with Harper's planned "cultural barbaric practices" hotline: flood it with prank calls.

Here's what I submitted to the Ontario College of Teachers. I wrote something different at fortheparents.ca
