It’s been three days since New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs lashed out at a presentation done by Teresa Norris and she’s still upset about it.
“I am incensed that the premier hasn’t even seen my presentation and he’s responding to one slide out of context,” said Norris.
Norris is the founder and president of HPV Global Action, a sexual health awareness and education organization based out of Montreal.
She says she has been doing the same presentation at dozens of New Brunswick schools for a decade and her work is vetted by the Department of Education in advance.
But Higgs blasted a presentation done by her at a New Brunswick high school last week, saying a number of parents shared with him photos of what he called “clearly inappropriate” material used during a presentation last week.
"To say I am furious would be a gross understatement," wrote Higgs on X, formerly Twitter.
Higgs said in his post the presentation was not part of the province’s curriculum, but Norris says that’s false.
