(NB-Sex-Ed) (NOTE CONTENTS)
New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs says he is banning a Quebec-based sexual education organization from sharing information in provincial schools after what he called an “inappropriate” presentation in high schools.
In a lengthy thread on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, Higgs says he's heard from concerned parents who shared photos and screenshots of presentation material from Montreal-based sexual education group Thirsty for the Talk.
A photo Higgs shared on social media as part of the thread shows a presentation slide with questions like: "Do girls masturbate?" and "Does it hurt when you do it for the first time?" among others.
He says the Department of Education told him the presentation was supposed to be about Human Papillomavirus and the group shared materials beyond that scope.

Halifax's Dalhousie University is reversing a planned 63 per cent tuition increase for its master of architecture program.
Students found out about the significant increase weeks before the program was set to begin this summer.
One student says the change in tuition cost would have meant spending another seven-thousand-dollars each term.
A message from the school's dean of architecture shared a message with students saying they've heard the feedback from students about the increase, and are returning to the expected two per cent tuition increase.
