future STOCKING PROGRAM The human relations pro gram was shocking phase in our childrens education in Sim coe County McDermott said During his speech to council McDermott referred to copies of pages which had been taken from the human relations pro gram cirriculum One page designed for Grade 11 students carried definitions for such terms as bisexual pedophile bestiality and sodomyand zoophilia which are terms to describe sexual rela tions between humans and animals McDermott said his genera tion had managed to get through life without having to learn such terms Another page taken from the death education unit and entitl ed Decision Day involved students in hypothetical situa tion whereby they were faced with solving the worlds in creasing population problem and had to decide whether to eliminate groups such as drug addicts those over the age of 70 the mentally ill murderers and those with terminal il lnesses This is not much different from the system Hitler used McDermott said McDermott said he had been told the curriculum was being rewritten But what damage has already been done he asked Parts not taught claims Mockford defending course Sections of the human rela tions program cirriculum which were circulated among Simcoe County councillors Tuesday were never actually taught in schools says the pro grams advisor to the Simcoe County Board of Education The Decision Day section in the death education unit was excluded last September cause it was so misunderstood said Jean Mockford Mrs Mockford said that sec tion was designed to create the situation where you are ac tually being ludicrous in deciding what group of people should be killed to control the population problem It has been compared to nazism but thats exactly what we want to point out she said It leads to the discussion of the value of people Mrs Mockford said the sec tion for Grade 11 students which arries the definition of such terms as bisexual pedophile bestiality sodomy and buggery was revised before it appeared in the classroom We have excluded some of the terminology such as sodomy and buggery which people couldnt handle she said Mrs Mockford was commen ting on Tuesdays criticism of the human relations program by Edward McDermott deputy reeve of Adjala Township who called on county council to ask the board of education to droy the program immediately The program is currently be ing field tested in several schools in the county dont think the councillors understand the process of writing field testing and revis ing said Mrs Mockford She said before the cir riculum was introduced into the classroom all of the teachers involved participated in two day workshops where they were able to examine all of the material That is when some of it was withdrawn and revised before it went into the classrooms she said Councillors want more time on cut Simcoe County councillors agreed Tuesday they want more time to consider plann ing committee report that recommends cut in council Council referred the report for further consideration at its June session despite plea from Marjorie Dyer commit tee chairman that the vote be taken immediately Mrs Dyer told council the changes would have to be ef fected by provincial legislation in the form of private members bill which would have to be enacted in the fall session to apply immediately after municipal elections scheduled for November 1980 It is imperative the wheels start moving soon she said However several councillors objected to Tuesdays deadline for the vote Venner Lambert deputy reeve of Vespra said there had not been enough time for discussion of the report and Reeve Charles Rawson of Tay Township said he would not make rushed decision Other members of council in dicated they wishes to discuss the proposal further with their local councils Mrs Dyer objected to the delay and said the planning committee had already spent 60 days waiting for input from the municipalities What can we expect next month another debate from the floor she asked It is decision of this coun cil not the councils who sit back home she said SCRUTINY USEI Mrs Dyer said the commit tee had carefully scrutinized all of the input from the municipalities There is no skulduggery here she said Of the 33 municipalities in the county 26 have endorsed the concept of reducing the membership six have objected and one is still requesting fur ther information Five of the 26 have suggested that only the reeves sit on coun cil The proposal which original ly called for representation on council to be based on com bination of total population and equalized assessment is now recommending modified ver sion of the current system of representation by the total elec torate municipality with an elec torate of more than 2500 but less than 7500 would be represented by reeve with two votes on council Under the new proposal municipality would not be en titled to deputy reeve on coun ty council until its electorate numbered more than 7500 and that second representative would only be allowed second vote if the electorate numbered more than 15000 ACT ALLOWS The act currently allows se cond representative on council to municipalities with an elec torate of more than 2500 with two votes when the electorate is more than 7500 Mrs Dyer said the initial pro posal to use population and equalized assessment combina tion was dropped by the com mittee because it appeared un fair She said the change in equalization factors to be an nounced by the provincial government in July and again in 1980 would undoubtably af fect the representation on counlt cil Also if equalized assessment was excluded there would be no form of representation for nonresident property owners in municipality as they are not considered to be part of the per manent population on which total figures are based Mrs Dyer said
