Australia: Melbourne teacher refuses to teach ‘lewd’ safe schools and respectful relationships program

Image
A MELBOURNE high school teacher says she would refuse to teach “lewd” material in the Victorian government ’s mandatory respectful relationships program to be introduced in all state schools next year. Moira Deeming, a teacher and mother-of-three, said she was shocked by the content and would rather be fired from her job than teach such “sleazy, unnecessary drivel” to her students. Ms Deeming, 33, said educating children as young as 12 about porn and getting them to have classroom discussions about masturbation and sex was not appropriate and would not help to stop gender-based violence and discrimination as the program intended. Under the program, children as young as prep are also being introduced to same-sex relationships through children’s books, including Tango Makes Three, a tale about two male penguins who adopt a baby penguin. The book has been banned in Singapore and after parent outrage was scrapped from some school libraries in the UK and the US . It also featured in ...

UK: Homosexual marriage and homosexual conviction apologies - not enough for LGBT

HOMOSEXUAL ADVOCATES IN THIS ARTICLE STATE  GAY MARRIAGE AND APOLOGIES ARE NOT ENOUGH Gay advocates have now moved beyond gay marriage to schools, the government and now want more changes. The Government's plan to posthumously pardon gay and bisexual men convicted of now-abolished sexual offences in England and Wales is a cosmetic measure which means very little to gay men today. The 1967 Sexual Offences Act finally decriminalised private homosexual acts between men aged over 21 in England and Wales, although the law wasn’t changed in Scotland until 1980, or in Northern Ireland until 1982. The age of consent was only equalised in 1998. Of the 65,000 men convicted under the laws, 15,000 are still alive . SNP MP Jon Nicholson's private member's bill, "talked out" in Parliament on Friday afternoon, would have meant an automatic pardon being granted to them too. That’s all well and good as a symbolic gesture. But we continue to live in a society that ...

The word "homosexual" didn't appear in English Bibles until 1946

English: First page of the Gospel of Saint John, from the 1526 Peter Schoeffer printing of William Tyndale's English translation of the Bible. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The homosexual community has raised the argument that the word homosexual never occurred in the  Bible  until 1946, thereby trying to demonstrate that homosexuality is not wrong; that instead,  Christians  have translated the Bible to make it suit their needs.  Consider this quote from a pro-homosexual website. "The word "homosexual" did not appear in any translation of the Christian Bible until 1946. There are words in Greek for same-sex sexual activities, yet they never appear in the original text of the New Testament ." (http://www.pflagupstatesc.org/statistics.htm) But, we have to acknowledge that you don't translate a word from Hebrew and Greek into the English if there is no English equivalent.  So, using the term "homosexual" in the English Bible could not have oc...
