Ad counters Toronto school board pro-homosexual curriculum

-

TORONTO, September 29, 2011 - A full page ad was published in the National Post on Saturday, Sept 24, arguing that the Toronto District School Board’s pro-homosexual curriculum is corrupting and confusing children.
The ad, sponsored by The Institute for Canadian Values (ICV), shows a large picture of a little girl with the header, “Please! Don’t confuse me.”
Below the photo, the youngster says, “I’m a girl. Don’t teach me to question if I’m a boy, transsexual, transgendered, intersexed or two spirited.”
The ad specifically addresses the TDSB’s policy of forbidding parents to opt-out of the pro-homosexual curriculum.
“Mr. Premier, you promised to remove this from my classroom but my teachers are still being forced to teach your curriculum.
“My Mommy says she is not allowed to withdraw me from class. You are forcing her too.”
The TDSB Equity curriculum, called ‘Challenging Homophobia and Heterosexism,’ instructs teachers to encourage boys and girls “to play opposite roles.” 
“At times boys may play girls and rely on sexist stereotypical behaviour with which they are familiar,” states the curriculum.
The curriculum also encourages teachers to “search Images of Pride Week” and to make posters for the school board float in the Pride Parade. “Additionally, students could have their own Pride Parade in their school,” it says.
The ad is part of the ICV’s campaign titled “Stop Corrupting Children” that decries the McGuinty government’s controversial equity and inclusive education (EIE) strategy.
“This TDSB curriculum is age inappropriate and confusing to our children. It is obvious that the purpose of the curriculum is to promote the LGBTQ agenda, a view that most parents do not want them to learn,” the ICV writes on its petition page, asking parents to make their views known to the party leaders in anticipation of the upcoming election.
“Parents have the right to choose what values their children should learn. We strongly request that Mr. McGuinty, Mr. Hudak and Ms. Horwath commit to remove permanently this curriculum and cease and desist gender-identity teaching in our schools.”

Ontario Catholic school board to vote on flying gay ‘pride flag’ at all board-run schools

A Catholic school board in Ontario will vote next week on a motion to fly the rainbow-colored homosexual pride flag at all board-run schools during the month of June. Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) Trustee Brenda Agnew gave notice of her motion titled “supporting our diverse school community” during an April 6 board meeting. Quoting Pope Francis along with LGBT talking points about “equity and inclusion,” the motion calls for the Board’s Director of Education Pat Daly to “direct all HCDSB schools including the Catholic Education Centre to fly the Pride flag during the month of June starting with 2021.” The motion is expected to be voted on by the Board at their next meeting on April 20. With nine trustees, the motion requires five votes to pass. A tied vote results in a fail. The HCDSB states on its website that its mission is to provide “excellence in Catholic education by developing Christ-centred individuals enabled to transform society.” The Catholic Church, basing i...

Christian baker must make ‘wedding’ bakes for gay couples, court rules

DENVER, CO ,  – A Colorado board has ruled that a Christian business owner must make wedding cakes for homosexual "marriages" despite his religious objections. Business owner Jack Phillips came under legal fire in 2012, when he refused to bake a cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig , who had traveled to Massachusetts for a marriage license, and wanted to celebrate in their home state. They sued on the basis of a state law that prevents the application of religious beliefs if one owns a business. The Commission's ruling, which was issued verbally on Friday, orders Phillips to report every three months for the next two years on anti-discrimination training for his staff, and any customers who are refused service at his establishment. "I can believe anything I want, but if I'm going to do business here, I'd ought to not discriminate against people," said one of the Civil Rights Commission 's seven members in a public statement.

Australia: Gay Hate tribunals are coming

Are Hate Tribunals Are Coming In Canada , it is considered discriminatory to say that marriage is between a man and a woman or that every child should know and be raised by his or her biological married parents.  It is not just politically incorrect in Canada to say so; you can be saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, fined, and forced to take sensitivity training. Anyone who is offended by something you have said or written can make a complaint to the Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals. In Canada, these organizations police speech, penalizing citizens for any expression deemed in opposition to particular sexual behaviors or protected groups identified under “sexual orientation.” It takes only one complaint against a person to be brought before the tribunal, costing the defendant tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The commissions have the power to enter private residences and remove all items pertinent to their investigations, checkin...
