A Canadian public high school celebrated the close of its school year with an annual lunch hour “sex show” by teachers for students. The show included talk of masturbation, sexting, and oral sex. Teachers who participated were awarded a bottle of sex lube at the end of the show.
Lord Byng Secondary School in Vancouver hosted its third “Sex at Lunch” event on June 14, 2017. Kari Simpson, a radio host and parents’ rights advocate who runs Culture Guard, exposed the event on her website.
Simpson, who attended the event and recorded it on her phone, said an unnamed woman wearing tight jeans and red stiletto heeled shoes introduced the annual sex show, telling the students that being teenage "sex addicts" always gives them an advantage over the teachers.
“Grade 12 will always have the advantage,” the woman said, “since it seems you have more sex addicts than anyone else in the school.”
Some of the questions asked of the girls, boys, and teachers during the event included the following:
- If you don’t want to masturbate, what should you eat for breakfast?
- People who enjoy putting on funky animal costumes for sexual purposes are called…?
- At which age do you text a picture of your naked bits?
- What does one use to perform safer oral sex on a woman?
- On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… (The answer, gonorrhoea, was greeted with laughter.)
“These are the tactics used by the 'Sex at Lunch' teachers,” she said.
Simpson said she became especially concerned when the school's geography teacher Sean Nugent warned the students not to take photos or write about the event on social media.
Simpson told reporters that parents should see the event as "deeply troubling," not only because of its explicit sexual content, but also because of the way school staff deliberately told students to keep the event under wraps.
"Parents should be righteously angry," she said. "The 'state' via the school system is systematically undermining parents' authority in their child's life by secretly indoctrinating them into its own sexual values, morals, and beliefs."
Simpson said pushing an explicit sexual agenda on children in school that undermines "responsibility, modesty, and self-control" — virtues that every parent wants for their children — is not unlike what happened in the residential schools. In residential schools, the state via educations institutions attempted to eradicate from children the values of their own indigenous cultures.
"This 'Sex at Lunch' event was simply a perverted sex show designed to alter the values and sexual morals of children," she said. "This is a dangerous agenda and parents can only stop it by uniting against it," she added.
After Simpson wrote about the event on her website, she was threatened with prosecution by legal firm Harris and Company for recording the event and publishing a photograph of it. The firm is acting for the Board of Education District 39 (Vancouver).
But Simpson said she will not comply with the request to remove the photo from her social media accounts and destroy her recording of the 'Sex at Lunch' event.
"You are incorrect to think I will remove them, will refrain from adding more or will limit distribution," she wrote in her response to the threat that she published on her website.
"You will note that, unlike the teachers and administrators, I have protected the identity of the children; I will not exploit them. But the so-called “teachers” and other facilitators to this obscene production will be exposed. Parents have a right to know whether they can trust their children’s’ teachers, vice principals, superintendents, and trustees," she added.
Simpson has recently created an organization to unite parents called Parents United Canada (PUC). She formed it for the purpose of "protecting parental rights in all the provinces."
"Together we are the voice that matters," she said.
What is it that has so fervently transformed American culture? What is it that has changed our fabric so intensely?
I would argue there is what I call a triangular dominance at play surrounding how members of our society receive their information—a systematic control over educational content that has permeated our minds, our hearts and, perhaps most tragically, our souls. And the situation is only intensifying.

Through the media, entertainment and the university system—the three main information sources that shape the American conscience—people are bombarded with moral codes and messages that are anything but modest, restrained or in line with biblical tenets.
These educational spheres have become overridden with progressive ideals and biases that work against traditional moral understandings. Each sector incubates one worldview while filtering the other out or, more routinely, simply ignoring it all together.
There's also ignorance and complicity unfolding that, unless it is checked, will only incubate, empower and metastasize this educational conundrum, and tragically many people today are likely too indoctrinated at this point to believe—or even recognize—that there's anything wrong with the paradigm shift in moral values undoubtedly slated to transform a wide array of institutions, including marriage, the economy and the circumstances surrounding children's upbringing.
Big changes are already afoot—movements that most certainly carry with them consequences for faith and family structures.
So, what's the solution?
Famed Christian apologist Josh McDowell presented a series of steps and parameters he believes people must take seriously if they actually wish to understand and come to grips with the problems we face in modern society.
"One, you've got to be informed," he said before quoting Scripture. "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free" (John 8:32). "Second, you need to come to understand what are rational, physical, sound solutions, answers." McDowell continued, "See, most Christians can tell me what they believe, but 95 percent can't give me any intelligent reason why they believe it."
He said this dynamic will no longer suffice because people need to be fully aware and cognizant of not only what their values and beliefs are, but why, in fact, they subscribe to such ideals.
"Then, third, we've got to live it," McDowell said. "If we do not live out our faith in our own personal lives, in our marriages, with our children, in our business, in our ministry, whatever—if we don't live out Christ in a vibrant way—then no one is going to believe whatever we say, and they shouldn't."
The fourth and final solution that McDowell offered up is for people to truly learn to listen without interrupting or being judgmental. It's after listening to what people think and feel— particularly nonbelievers—that he said it's possible to more appropriately engage.
Taking these simple steps will help us to live our faith and values, as McDowell said. After all, we need to be the shining examples of what we claim to espouse. We can't simply say we're Christians; we need to show it in the way we live, the decisions we make and the content we choose to consume.
We should all think deeper about the media, entertainment and university messages we're consuming, and ask some key questions: What am I really being told? What do these themes say about the current state of our society and culture? I'd argue, perhaps most importantly, we should ask what information is being left out of the equation. All too often we take in and process messages without considering the information that has perhaps intentionally been left out.
Our lives should speak volumes without needing any actual words to convey the powerful message of what we stand for. Become more aware of what we're consuming and make a concerted effort to avoid certain forms of negative content; not only are we then protecting our hearts and minds, but we can also send a collective message about what we're willing to tolerate.
Personally I've often fallen in this area, as I'm sure we all have. But the stakes are high. Now more than ever, we must take a stand, regardless of the uphill ideological battle.
We need to listen and engage with others. Rather than battle it out over values, again, show people what it means to live out the truth you espouse. Don't give up. Make your voices heard, but do so with peace, love and understanding. The future of free speech—and our nation— depends on it.
