TORONTO -- About 200 people gathered outside the Ontario legislature today to protest the revised sex-education curriculum, while inside Premier Kathleen Wynne was going on the attack against an Opposition critic.
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.
Staring down McNaughton, Wynne asked if she's unqualified because she's a woman, a mother, a former school trustee, a one time school council chair, a former minister of education or that she has a masters of education.
McNaughton was not given an opportunity in the legislature to respond to Wynne's questions.
McNaughton and fellow PC leadership candidates Christine Elliott and Patrick Brown then joined the crowd of protesters gathered outside Queen's Park.
