Schools must follow the laws that are set down by the government. Personal beliefs about it aside, if the province tells them they must teach that same sex relationships are normal then that is what is taught.

Now the poster goes way beyond that. The language and imagery is unacceptable and should not be on display in any school. The teaching of actual techniques is also not appropriate for a school setting IMO but if the provincial education department is telling then that they have to then they have to. I don't know about Ontario -- only about Alberta and the only "technique" that is taught by law here is appropriate use of contraception and STI prevention.
