More Anti-Christian Bigotry in Victoria

Image
Things are growing darker by the day in the People’s Republik of Victoria . I have documented a number of very ominous developments here under the radical leftist reign of Labor Premier Dan Andrews. He seems obsessed with wiping out Christianity and religious freedom while he implements every hard-core minority group agenda around. His latest attack of faith and freedom comes in the form of the Equal Opportunity Amendment (Religious Exceptions) Bill 2016. It is a frightening proposal which everyone concerned about freedom and religious freedom should know about. The full details of the proposed changes can be found here: www.legislation.vic.gov.au/domino/Web_Notes/LDMS/PubPDocs.nsf/ee665e366dcb6cb0ca256da400837f6b/eeedcc0c543212d6ca25801f00183a74!OpenDocument Here are the relevant bits which are of real concern: A Bill for an Act to amend the Equal Opportunity Act 2010 to modify the religious exceptions in relation to the employment of a person by religious bodies and s

Only Choice - pull kids from School that promotes LGBT ideology

The Australian Christian Lobby welcomes news that the NSW government is considering an “opt-in” option for parents regarding the Safe Schools program following a debate in the Parliament yesterday. However, ACL NSW Director Mark Makowiecki said the move only practically applied to one aspect of the program, namely the controversial “ All of Us ” lessons. “What has been widely misunderstood by politicians and pundits is the fact that Safe Schools adopts a ‘whole-of-school’ approach, meaning that LGBTIQA themes are not taught in stand-alone lessons, but are woven into the curriculum and propagated through policies, posters and school assemblies ,” Mr Makowiecki said. “This fundamental misapprehension was evident in some of the speeches given yesterday in the NSW Parliament , as a 17,000 signature petition calling for the abolition of the Safe Schools program was being debated. “The “whole-of-school” approach is made clear, particularly in an early edition of the  Guid

Alberta gvmt threatens to defund Christian schools that won’t comply with gay, trans mandate

Education Minister David Eggen says he’s willing to strip two Christian schools of their public funding if they won’t abandon their Christian principles and allow clubs promoting homosexuality and/or transgender students in washrooms of the opposite sex. These measures are part of the New Democratic government’s anti-bullying policies that single out sexual minorities for protection, though surveys indicate that physical appearance and grades are far more likely causes of school bullying. Last month, Spruce Grove Baptist pastor Brian Coldwell, who is also chairman of an independent Christian school board with two small schools with 200 students, said neither cross-gendered washrooms nor gay straight alliances would be allowed in his schools. Asked about Coldwell’s comments at a school opening where he was joined by Premier Rachel Notley, Eggen said, “It’s not acceptable, not just for the kids that are attending those schools, but it sends a negative message across the provi

Alberta pastor to gvmt: No gay clubs or transgender bathroom exceptions in our private schools

Brian Coldwell, a Baptist pastor and chairman of a Christian school board, has told the provincial government that his two small schools will not allow gay straight alliance clubs for homosexuals or permit transgender students to use the washrooms of the opposite sex. Those are the two most controversial components of the New Democratic government’s policy to combat bullying of sexual minorities in provincial schools. When the Edmonton Catholic school board balked at these, Education Minister David Eggen appointed a consultant to bring them into line. But Coldwell told the CBC, “I'm not going to allow the minister of education to appoint anyone to come in here. He does not have that dictatorial power.” Coldwell told LifeSiteNews on Wednesday, “Minister Eggen says school boards have to obey the law. Well, the government of Alberta has to obey the law too. He needs to respect the Charter of Rights and Freedoms where it says religion is one of the fundamental freedoms.”

Australia: Premier Andrews forces Christian Schools to employ homosexuals

Religious schools and bodies could soon find it harder to discriminate against employees because of their sexuality or faith. The Andrews government's revamp of Victorian equal opportunity laws has been condemned as "anti-religious" by faith-based groups, who say it threatens their right to freedom of religion. Religious schools and groups would still be able to discriminate if they could prove that religious beliefs were linked to a job.  The solution to this is for every employees is to do the Cert IV in workplace training and assessment and to teach the traditional Christian faith. In order to teach the Christian faith they must declare they are traditional Christians who adhere completely to scripture and prove evidence of Church attendance signed by their pastor. This would be a mandatory component of employment. In other words, all work in any form at a Christian school from the gardener to the principal is an expression of the love and calling of God.  Proposed

LGBTQ infestation infiltrates Christian Schools

The people pushing this corrupted version of sexuality have painted a rather compelling picture of the goal they say they’re after. They want a society where everybody just happily gets along no matter what people are doing to one another in the sexual sphere .  They’re after a sexual utopia where anything goes. They want inclusion, diversity, acceptance, and safe schools. But there’s one problem they’ve encountered. To get to this sexual utopia, they first have to stamp out every voice that has a version of sexuality that opposes the one they’re championing . See where this is going?  Let’s call these people gay activists . They push a pansexual version of sexuality where anybody is free to do whatever they want, however they want, and with whomever they want. They rather can’t stand Christians because Christians believe that sexuality comes from God with a pretty strict owner’s manual that must be pretty strictly followed if myriad human relationships are going to run the w

Christian school in hot water after student banned from speaking about her gay father

The parent of a seven-year-old student at Foundation Christian College in Mandurah, Western Australia , has withdrawn his daughter from the school after her teacher stopped her from speaking to her class about gay marriage. WAtoday.com.au says her father was called in to the school and told that his daughter could only remain as a student at the Christian College if she never again mentioned her father’s sexuality or his partner. Late last week the school’s principal, Andrew Newhouse, released a statement saying, “We are completely upfront about the college’s vision and values from the time families express interest in having their children attend the college … A same-sex worldview is not congruent with our Christian worldview . “The real issue was that the Christian values being taught in the classroom were being undermined … It’s not helpful to confuse children at such a young age with complex and controversial issues.” Since then the school has been targeted by vandals, and ha
