网络欺凌受害人的父亲对安大略省废除新版性教育课程感到愤怒

新斯科舍省少女丽塔.帕森斯（Rehtaeh Parsons ）2013年因不堪网络凌辱自杀。她的父亲坎宁（Glen Canning）说，安大略省政府决定废除新版性教育课，令他感到愤怒。因为他认为这会让更多的少女面临危险。

新当选的安大略省进步保守党政府上周三（7月11日）宣布该省学校将从今年9月开始重新使用1998年版的性教育课程。坎宁说，如果当时新斯科舍省的学校提供安省更新版性教育课，他也许不至于失去女儿。因为更新后的课程加上了把他女儿逼上绝路的色情短信、网络欺凌和性暴力等内容。

安省新版性教育课也加上了同性婚姻，性取向和手淫等内容，因此引起许多华人家长和穆斯林家长的强烈抗议。

2011年11月，丽塔.帕森斯在参加一个聚会时被几个男孩性侵。他们把当时拍下的照片传给班里的同学，此后一年半中，帕森斯在网上不断受到凌辱，转学和搬家都没能让她逃脱伤害。2013年4月4日，她在家里上吊自杀。

坎宁说，发生在他女儿身上的事本来是可以预防的。

安省教育厅长Lisa Thompson7月16日下午4时25分向媒体发出的声明：

"During the recent election campaign we made a clear promise to replace the entirety of Ontario’s current sex-ed curriculum with an age-appropriate one that is based on real consultation with parents.
 
"When Ontario voters chose their new government, they did so knowing that this was our intended course of action.
 
"Throughout this process, our commitment to Ontario parents has remained unwavering.
 
"We will be engaging in a thorough end-to-end consultation with parents over the coming months.  Preparations are already underway with consultations scheduled to begin in the fall.
 
"This will be one of most robust consultation processes in the history of Ontario’s education system and all parents, of all points of view, will be invited to participate over the coming months. Parents will tell us what matters to them.
 
"As of today, we have made no decisions on what the new curriculum will look like. The final decision on the scope of the new curriculum will be based on what we hear from Ontario parents.
 
"While these consultations occur, we are reverting to the full health and physical education curriculum that was last taught in 2014.  This curriculum leaves ample space to discuss current social issues. 
 
"Our goal remains to ensure Ontario’s children are protected while their parents are respected."
