Teresa Norris, president of HPV Global Action, walked media through the presentation in an effort to provide context for the single opening slide that Higgs shared on social media.

The sexual education slide that angered New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs is the first of more than 100 in a presentation about healthy relationships and sexual health that is given to high school students across the country, reporters learned Friday.

Norris explained that the questions are intended to be attention-grabbing, but also to show teens that such questions are normal, and that her presentation will give them the information they need to find answers. She said teenagers are asking these questions, whether parents and educators know it or not.Teresa Norris poses in this undated handout photo.

Anal sex is only discussed in this context, since it is a form of sex and it comes with risks, just like the others, Norris said. Outhouse said the main issue is that parents were not given any notification about the presentation, nor an opportunity to weigh in on its content. He acknowledged that may be an issue with the school or the education department, rather than with Norris’s group, and he said the government was still looking into what happened.
