UN agency paid to promotes ‘LGBT rights’ for students

-

With a new publication, UNESCO has joined the list of UN agencies advocating for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender lies and agenda.
The report advocates inserting LGBT materials into public school curriculum worldwide by means of a UN General Assembly mandate aimed against bullying.
Last May, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) launched “Out in the Open,” a first-ever survey on “Education sector responses to violence based on sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.”
Generously supported by the government of the Netherlands, the report claims that “LGBT students” report a higher prevalence of violence at school than their non-LGBT peers. In particular, the authors argue that “students who are perceived not to conform to prevailing sexual and gender norms, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT), are more vulnerable.”
The study uses controversial data provided by LGBT advocacy groups which include anonymous and online surveys and which rely on unverifiable, “independent research.” The Dutch grant aims at normalizing LGBT behavior beyond the Netherlands.  The government webpage states, “the Dutch government champions gay rights worldwide.”
Sexual orientation and gender identity are neither recognized nor protected by international law, and several UN member states hold homosexuality to be immoral, if not illegal.
Nonetheless, the report calls for school personnel to provide children with “non-judgmental and accurate information on sexual orientation and gender identity/expression through information campaigns and partnerships with civil society and the wider school community.”  It says that the “the Convention on the Rights of the Child also recognizes the rights of LGBTI children,” though neither the Children’s convention nor any UN human rights treaty mentions the issue.
The report uses one of the highly controversial “UN LGBT stamps” as a cover, and recommends that “curricula and learning materials are evidence-based and inclusive with respect to sexual orientation and gender identity/expression, including representation in content and illustrations.” It challenges “gender-specific uniforms and hair regulations” as a form of “implicit homophobic and transphobic violence.” The 60-page report does not mention an age-limit for sexual autonomy, nor does it mention parental rights.
The report is the latest salvo in this year’s heated debate on LGBT rights. UN member states are scheduled to adopt a resolution on bullying at the next General Assembly. Critics warn that it uses the issue of bullying as a pretext to mainstream homosexuality among children. They point out that there is no reference to children with disabilities, those belonging to religious minorities, or migrant children who are also targets of bullying.
Up until the admission of Palestine into UNESCO in 2011, the US government was the main sponsor of the agency, providing around $70 million, or 22 percent, of its annual budget. The Obama administration has repeatedly asked Congress to change the law, allowing the U.S. to renew funding.

Filling the gap, middle powers in Europe have been able to influence the UN agency’s agenda with relatively modest funding. For this report, which is part of a larger three-year project, the Dutch paid UNESCO US $396,802.

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...
