They also pointed out that the song’s lyrics contain a “worldview which [is] offensive to most religions as well as atheism. ”Burnaby Parents’ Voice had argued in a letter to Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister George Abbott that Lady Gaga and her song ‘ Born This Way ’ are not appropriate “learning resource[s] in public schools.” In one verse Gaga si

VANCOUVER, British Columbia , October 6, 2011 – Videos showing naked men graphically sodomizing one another - included as “resource material” in an “anti-bullying” initiative for Vancouver’s schools - are “really inappropriate,” says a trustee . Trustee Ken Denike’s criticism of the Out in Schools program (OIS) comes after parents complained that Burnaby schools were duped into supporting it as an “anti-bullying” initiative when in fact the program is nothing other than a “scam” by “sex activists” to “sexualize students” and “lure” them into “homosexualist culture.” “I thought it was really inappropriate, especially for a 13-year-old,” Denike told QMI Agency , referring to material from the Health Initiative for Men (HIM) website that was listed as a “youth resource” in the Out In Schools booklet. “This is material that’s on Xtube , which is really adult material.” Find the graphic sexual material at the Health Initiative for Men’s website  here .

In a July 6th letter, CCRL BC Director Sean Murphy criticized the BC Civil Liberties Association ’s support for an equity policy that passed in the Burnaby school board in June.  The policy aims to combat “heterosexism,” which it defines as the “assumption that all people are heterosexual and that heterosexuality is superior and more desirable for all people than any other sexual orientation.” Murphy invited the BCCLA to join them in signing a new Declaration on the Authority of Parents and Guardians in the Education of their Children, which they say is a non-denominational statement of principles offered to all people of good will. “The Declaration is not specific to the Catholic Church or Catholic teaching,” said Murphy. “It cites numerous international conventions and decla

Image via Wikipedia Debate is heating up over the adoption of a controversial “homophobia/heterosexism” policy in the Burnaby School District of British Columbia .  Concerned parents  say  Draft Policy 5.45 would promote homosexuality to their children and discriminate against those who oppose a homosexual lifestyle.

Parents have also expressed frustration that trustees have not met their demands for transparency on the policy specifics. The  draft policy , approved by the board of trustees February 22, 2011, defines “heterosexism” as a “mistaken assumption” that “all people are heterosexual and that heterosexuality is superior and the norm by which all other sexual orientation and gender identities are measured.”   It says it “perpetuates negative stereotypes and is dangerous to individuals and communities.” (For previous LSN coverage click  here ) Parents and students gather last Tue
