Christians demand investigation of transgender promotion in Alberta schools

Image
A Christian political action group and a parents group are responding to the controversy over a pro-life group comparing the Holocaust to abortion by accusing the New Democratic government of promoting unscientific and dangerous gender ideology. When Education Minister David Eggen leaked to the press his objections to the comparison made in a Red Deer Catholic high school by the local pro-life group, sex-education advocate Cristina Stasia called for an investigation of what “third party” groups are teaching students about sex and abortion. The Calgary Sexual Health Centre and the Compass Centre for Sexual Wellness joined her in calling for an investigation into third party content, but they were referring to social conservative groups. Now social conservative groups are echoing their call for an investigation. But the concern of the Association for Reformed Political Action and the parents group Informed Albertans are the groups on the Left. They believe the Alberta Teache

A street preacher has been awarded £4,250 in damages after a judge ruled it was wrong of police to arrest and handcuff him after he spoke out against homosexuality. Anthony Rollins, who suffers from Asperger’s syndrome , was preaching in Birmingham city centre in June 2008 when a member of the public, John Edwards, took offence at comments he made describing homosexual conduct as morally wrong. According to the Christian Institute , which backed Mr Rollins’ case, police arrived on the scene after receiving a call from Mr Edwards and PC Adrian Bill proceeded to handcuff Mr Rollins without any further inquiry. Birmingham County Court ruled on Wednesday that PC Bill had committed assault and battery against Mr Rollins by handcuffing him unnecessarily. Judge Lance Ashworth QC said in his ruling on Wednesday that the arrest demonstrated a “lack of thoughtfulness”. PC Bill, the judge ruled, had made the arrest “as a matter of routine without any thought being given to Mr Rollins’ Conventi

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) CALGARY, Alberta, April 11, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – As her party dominates polls in the lead-up to Alberta’s April 23 election, the leader of the upstart right-wing party Wildrose has insisted she is ‘pro-choice’ and has no intention to ‘legislate morality.’ After criticizing Wildrose leader Danielle Smith last week over her previous support of conscience rights for doctors and marriage commissioners, the reigning Progressive Conservatives attacked a Wildrose proposal to institute a mechanism for citizen referendums, calling it a backdoor plan to repeal the ‘rights’ of women and homosexuals. But Smith made her own views clear at an all-candidates debate in her riding of Highwood on Tuesday. “When our members elected me they knew they were electing a c

Chris Bolton, chair of the Toronto District School Board “Nobody will chase them down in the street,” board chair Chris Bolton told LifeSiteNews in a phone interview earlier this month.  If such a request were made, school officials would first “ask that they keep their children involved in the class,” he said. “If a parent doesn’t send their child to school, we mark them as absent,” he continued, adding that if the child racked up repeated absences, there would be “questions raised.” Earlier this month, Bolton  threatened action  against Tim Hudak and his Ontario Progressive Conservative Party over a flier the PCs circulated in the lead-up to the
