The protest against changes to the sexual education curriculum have renewed in Ontario, about week before school begins a new year.

Protesters have renewed their callsagainst changes to Ontario'ssexual education curriculum, six daysbefore the new school year begins.

About 50 protesters rallied outside Premier Kathleen Wynne's office on Eglinton Avenue East Wednesday with placards that read "Let kids be kids" and "Too early, Too explicit."

Protesters outside Kathleen Wynne's office oppose the changes to the sex ed curriculum.

The protest organizers, Campaign Life Coalition, call the new curriculum "radical" and "harmful" and want the governing Liberals to abolish the changes.

The sex ed curriculum has not changed in around 17 years.

Campaign Life Coalition says it plans to protest 107 MPP constituency offices, and have sincevisited 102.

Niti Gupta, 36, brought her five-year-old daughter Namita to MPP Vic Dhillon's office in Brampton to protest the changes.

Her main concern, she says, is that she should be the one to teach her daughter about gay couples and gender identity.
