Liberal Australian Greens want to wipe out religious programs, replace them with LGBT agenda

Image
The Australian Greens party has hardened its stance on the LGBT agenda in view of the 2019 federal elections to the Senate on May 18 and the House of Representatives on November 2. The long list of “LGBTIQ+” policies the Greens want to implement includes a commitment to end an existing program funding the presence of religious chaplains in public schools and to use the money in favor of “secular” and “inclusive” support for “diverse” students. Other anti-religious initiatives are included on the list, in particular, “the removal of religious exemptions from anti-discrimination laws.” Religious and private schools are especially targeted. The Australian Greens are a nominally environmentalist organization that started with “ecological” concerns. From its creation in 1992, the left-leaning party not only campaigned for “sustainability” but also for “social justice,” participative democracy and pacifism, in the vein of the Green movement that had objectively supported the Soviet

California school district says parents can’t pull kids from new LGBT sex ed

Image
California is about to implement new abortion- and homosexuality-promoting sex education lessons, and one school district has told parents they have no choice but to expose their children to them. California enacted the  California Healthy Youth Act  in 2015, but only now are its controversial provisions starting to take effect in classrooms. Under the auspices of health, the law says it will equip students to develop “healthy attitudes” on “gender [and] sexual orientation,” among other things. It also says it will inform students about the “effectiveness and safety of all FDA-approved contraceptive methods,” and facilitate “objective discussion” about “parenting, adoption, and abortion.” RedState contributor Kira Davis, a resident of Orange County, California,  warns  that among the teaching materials approved for use under this law are a  study guide  for the  transgender children’s book   I Am Jazz , as well as a “ sexual health toolkit .” This “toolkit,” funded in part

Benham brothers endorse school walkout to protest sex ed: ‘speak up now’

Pastors, parents, and other concerned Americans have a duty to stop the “perversion” that is being foisted upon innocent children through “ sex ed ” and “anti-bullying” programs, Jason and David Benham wrote in a new op-ed endorsing today’s “sex education sit-out” protest. Parents in America, the United Kingdom , Canada, and Americans are joining together in  pulling their children from school today  to protest radical sex education curricula that teaches young students about anal sex, masturbation, and transgenderism. Supporters urge parents to ensure schools record their children's’ absences as unexcused because the schools lose state and federal money that way. The Benham brothers , who lost a deal with HGTV over their belief in biblical marriage, endorsed the sex ed sit out in an article for  WND.com . In North Carolina , where the Benham brothers live, children are being taught “‘a sex-positive view of BDSM ’ (uh, that means bondage, dominance, sadomasochism, in

‘Gender identity’ teacher tells traumatized 12-year-old she’s really a boy

A Washington state school district has paused a sex education course after an instructor told a 12-year-old girl her enjoyment of fishing and basketball meant she was transgendered. Madness! Seattle Fox affiliate Q13  reports  that Jason Peterson , single father of five in the Sequim School District, says his daughter came home crying after a November class where she was told the sports she liked “were boy things,” which meant that “she was a boy inside and that she was gay.”    She “was very confused by it,” Peterson  told  NBC King 5 . “She likes playing basketball, she likes going fishing with dad, she likes skateboarding, and she likes being a girl.” He also highlighted an apparent double-standard in that, while LGBT education is commonly sold as promoting tolerance, the teacher was the one “discriminating” against his daughter’s “identity.” “I think people should be free to be who they are,” Peterson said. Peterson explains he had approved the class for his da

How the ‘Catholic’ version of Ontario’s sex ed grooms kids for the Sexual Revolution: Grade 6 gays and lesbianism introduced as normal

Image
Ontario ’s Liberal government paid $250,000 to have a Catholic educators’ organization attempt to reframe lesbian Premier Kathleen Wynne ’s   controversial sex-education program   so that it squares with Catholic teaching . But faithful Catholic parents scanning through the resources will likely be outraged — and even feel betrayed by Catholic leadership — over how much the resources deviate from authentic Catholic teaching. A Freedom of Information request earlier this month  found   that The Institute of Catholic Education (ICE), group of Catholic educators overseen by Ontario bishops, was paid the quarter-million dollars to develop materials to support staff in teaching the new expectations in the sex-ed curriculum as outlined by the government. The ministry has allowed Catholic schools to deliver the province’s sex-ed expectations through the schools’ already existing “ Fully Alive ” program. While there are smatterings of genuine Catholic content mixed throughout the

Australia: Safe schools become unsafe schools

Image
An architect of the school curriculum has demanded a stop to the “outsourcing’’ of religious instruction and sex education to “ideological interest groups’’. Ken Wiltshire , who reviewed the national curriculum for the Coalition government last year, said controversial subjects should be taught only with parent­al consent. He said the Safe Schools furore showed the danger of letting “ideological groups’’ devise lesson plans without Education Department input. “Governments should never outsource the development of curriculum content to interest groups, particularly those with an ideological purpose or agenda,’’ he told The Australian . “There is no quality assurance. No controversial material should be taught in schools without the agreement of parents, acting in concert with the school.’’ Emeritus Professor Wiltshire — a professor of public administration at the University of Queensland — said the furore over Safe Schools showed why education authorities shoul

What is the relationship between body and gender? Does anatomy determine gender?

Image
Modern brain research suggests that the brains of men and women  have some crucial differences. But the essential biological gender identity   is established by physiological realities that are, in the vast majority  of human beings , immediately identifiable upon birth.  When a baby is  born, physically identified, and declared to be a boy or a girl, this is an  affirmation of God 's lifelong purpose for that individual.  The Bible tells  us the body reveals identity to us in that respect and in others as well.  For a very small portion of people, only about one in every fifteen  hundred births , the birth gender is indeterminate. These individuals are  now most often medically referred to as inter-sex. This birth anomaly which  is identified by medical science as an anomaly-requires the  parents first and the individual later to make some essential choices. These choices are matters not of obedience versus disobedience, but of  wisdom and mercy. In such cases, w
