rfmcdonaldYesterday, Kathleen Wynne had a crowning moment of awesome as she defended her government's proposed new sex education curriculum.
Her response was wonderfully eloquent.
And today, PC MPP Rick Nicholls came out about his disbelief in evolution.
Who these days remember that Kathleen Wynne was supposed to be a Liberal placeholder before an inevitable Progressive Conservative government in Ontario?
Progressive Conservative Monte McNaughton is openly critical of the updated curriculum and says it’s not the job of the premier — “especially Kathleen Wynne” — to tell parents what is age appropriate for their children.
Wynne, who is openly gay, responded by pointedly demanding that McNaughton explain why he feels she is not qualified to set standards for kids in schools.
Her response was wonderfully eloquent.
“What is it that especially disqualifies me for the job that I’m doing? Is it that I’m a woman? Is it that I’m a mother? Is it that I have a master’s of education? Is it that I was a school council chair? Is it that I was the minister of education? What is it exactly that the member opposite thinks disqualifies me from doing the job that I’m doing?”
