Australia: Melbourne teacher refuses to teach ‘lewd’ safe schools and respectful relationships program

Image
A MELBOURNE high school teacher says she would refuse to teach “lewd” material in the Victorian government ’s mandatory respectful relationships program to be introduced in all state schools next year. Moira Deeming, a teacher and mother-of-three, said she was shocked by the content and would rather be fired from her job than teach such “sleazy, unnecessary drivel” to her students. Ms Deeming, 33, said educating children as young as 12 about porn and getting them to have classroom discussions about masturbation and sex was not appropriate and would not help to stop gender-based violence and discrimination as the program intended. Under the program, children as young as prep are also being introduced to same-sex relationships through children’s books, including Tango Makes Three, a tale about two male penguins who adopt a baby penguin. The book has been banned in Singapore and after parent outrage was scrapped from some school libraries in the UK and the US . It also featured in

Scottish police and homosexual advocacy groups are combining to train 60 officers as LGBT - hate crime specialists in an apparent effort to increase the number of hate crimes reported.  The move has raised concerns over the possible criminalization of any criticism of homosexuality.

According to the Equality Network , which will be training LGBT liaison officers for the Scottish police, there were 841 "sexual orientation aggravate crimes" in 2015 and 21 "transphobic" crimes. The press release adds, "there is said to be evidence of significant under-reporting." In evidence, the charity reports on a survey of LGBT Scots indicating that half had seen or been victims of "prejudice or di

British Catholic monk expects prison for promoting Christian teaching on homosexuality: interview

A British hermit who only leaves his hermitage to distribute pamphlets promoting Christian teachings on homosexuality and abortion expects to be imprisoned for breaking the terms of his bail and continuing to confront his country’s “culture of death.” “At first I agreed to do no more leafleting,” Brother Damon Kelly , 53, told LifeSiteNews. “But I’ve wrestled with it, I’ve sought spiritual counsel. And I’ve decided I have to obey God’s law and not the State’s law. Which will land you in a lot of trouble.” Brother Damon is the leader of a trio of Catholics called the Black Hermits who are under personal vows to their local bishop and based in Corby, Northamptonshire . The hermit also told LifeSiteNews he’s decided he cannot follow the advice of his lawyer, Michael Phillips , who has told him that if he confines himself to giving out his material on the street, he’d be protected by the right to free speech .
