The initial price was $200, only the calls and requests for more money kept coming. There were new excuses and eventually a belief some of her money would be paid back.

Blair bigs banned a sexual education organization from making presentations at any school in the province. On friday higgs took to social media to say I'm furious would be a gross understatement. The group shared materials well beyond the scope of a hpv presentation calling some material clearly inappropriate. Joining us now is the head of hpv global action theresa north. Thank you for joining us. Theresa, you led a series of discussions at the four schools. What's your response to the premier's reaction and have you heard from the province? >> First, I will start off by saying I haven't heard from the province. And secondly, I'm disappointed, you know. We are talking about important topics, and we're delivering them in a respectful way. I'm not being inappropriate at all. In fact, I'm taking away the shame around these issues that so many teens feel comfortable -- don't feel comfortable to ask. And here's an important platform to ask those questions anonymously and receive age-appropriate and evidence-based answers that aim to help them and guide them to have these healthier choices. You know, there was a highlight of this tweet of the front cover of the presentation, highlighting four really important questions that are being asked by teens, there are asking me, they are asking other educators, they are asking each other, they are going on line. A couple of those questions are highlighting issues that many women and girls are often growing up feeling uncomfortable in their own bodies. And there are not able to turn to anyone and ask about those topics. And the goal overall is really to be destigmatizing and can talking about these topics, and you know for them to have these experiences in a more meaningful, that they will understand what's going on better and this is empowering them. >> Heather: theresa, we are going to show part of that slide that you just mentioned that the premier says went beyond an hpv presentation. Tell us more about the importance of this subject matter, but also who vets these presentations before they enter the school. >> So, first of all, I'm a parent myself, and I was concerned where my teens were getting their information while they were growing up. And teens are thinking about those things, whether we like it or not. They are asking those questions that you just saw in that slide. And it's in all of our best
