Parents of children in Manitoba, Canada have expressed concern after a school sent home boys in the 10th grade (15-16 years of age) with condoms, wooden penises and flip books containing explicit illustrations of men having gay sex, according to a report.
Reduxx and The Publica reports that that materials were distributed among teenage pupils by Virden Collegiate Institute as part “sex education” classes.
In a Facebook post, one parent, Janine Stephanie Penner, described the materials, noting that her son received a “gay porn graphic flip book at school as a method of learning how to use condoms and in addition, received 15 condoms and a wooden pecker for practice.”
The wooden penis is a condom demonstration aid, but obviously could serve another purpose.
The report notes:
The flip-book Penner’s son was given is titled “Who’s Got The Condom?” and a digital copy of the book reveals it is 53-pages long and was created in collaboration with CATIE — Canada’s leading HIV and Hepatitis C information charity — as well as Youth2O and “2-Spirited People of the First Nations.”
On the front of the book, a young, slim man can be seen perched over the hips of an older, larger man in what appears to be an Indigenous-style tent. On both the front cover and a page photographed by Penner, the older man is wearing a condom, with the younger man in the process of engaging in sexual activity with him.
