GAY TRUTH

A leading family law and child-protection expert has criticised the teaching of radical gender theory in classrooms across the country, likening the “odd and unscientific” beliefs promoted by groups such as the Safe Schools Coalition to those espoused by Scientology . Sydney University law profes­sor Patrick Parkinson has called for an extensive overhaul of the Safe Schools program, having taken issue with its ­promotion of “exaggerated statistics” on the prevalence of transgender and intersex conditions in the community to support its creators’ “belief that gender is fluid and can even be chosen”. In a research paper to be published today, Professor Parkinson notes that gender ideology, which lies at the heart of Safe Schools, has become a widespread belief system, particularly in Western countries . With its origins in university philosophy departments rather than science, it has no place in the primary or secondary school curriculum, which is required to be evidence-based,

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

An education researcher has queried the stereotype of the “ bullied ” or “at-risk” homosexual youth, suggesting it is a construction of scientific literature that may be counter-productive. University of New England academic Tiffany Jones appears to have broken ranks from many colleagues in the field by ­highlighting the deficiencies of some advocacy-driven research studies, particularly those presenting gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer ( GLBTIQ ) youth as victims of ­homophobic bullying. It is an extraordinary admission given Professor Jones’s role as a collaborator on a high-profile research project , the 2010 Writing Themselves In 3 study, which has propagated this view and formed the basis for education policy across the country, including the Safe Schools gender and sexual diversity program. In a paper published in the  Journal of Sex Education , Professor Jones argues that the “bullied GLBTIQ student” is a recent emergence constructed by resear

A symbolic marriage cake in favor of allowing gay marriages in Italy not only to heterosexual couples but to lesbian and gay ones as well. Picture by Giovanni Dall'Orto, January 26 2008. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you can trace your family tree back far enough, you'll probably encounter people who had no formal education , owned no books, perhaps couldn't read and write . But your uneducated ancestors knew what "marriage" meant-- which is more than you can say for the typical Ivy League professor today. Your "benighted" ancestors would be both absolutely astonished that the literati of the early 21st century cannot figure out what was so obvious to them, centuries ago, and utterly appalled by the bogus unions that our contemporaries accept as marriages.  (By the way, I am not just thinking only of same-sex unions . I also have in mind the "open" marriages and the deliberately barren unions, the Hollywood -style serial marriages, th

A primary grade lesbian teacher from an Ontario public school revealed in a workshop at a homosexual activist conference for teachers earlier this month how she uses her classroom to convince children as young as four to accept homosexual relationships . “And I started in Kindergarten . What a great place to start. It was where I was teaching. So, I was the most comfortable there,” Pam Strong said at the conference, attended by LifeSiteNews. The conference, hosted by the homosexual activist organization Jer’s Vision , now called the Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity, focused on the implementation of Bill 13 in Ontario classrooms. Bill 13, called by critics the ‘ homosexual bill of rights ,’ passed in June 2012 and gave students the right to form pro-gay clubs in their school, including Catholic ones, using the name Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA). Strong, who is in an open relationship with another woman and who has been a teacher for about five years, focused

A Catholic vice-principal in Ontario who declared she was ‘gay’ days before retirement, while admitting to being in a lesbian partnership, says that she used her position of influence for 28 years in a Catholic school board to advance the LGBTQ cause. “I’ve been doing the work for support for LGBTQ people for a long time, for actually the 28 years I’ve been in the board,” Joan Grundy, retiring vice-principal at St. Mary's Catholic High School in Kitchener, told CTV News . Grundy admitted to CBC News that she had been in a lesbian relationship for about a decade during this time but had presented herself as a faithful Catholic so she could maintain her job with its position of influence. Grundy, who has a Master's degree in theological studies with a concentration in counseling, has penned an account of her explicit rejection of the Catholic teaching on same-sex attraction in a book released this month titled “A Deepening Life”. “'A Deepening Life' is the story o

Karen Percy  from the  ABC  wrote the following article:  The way religion is taught in Victorian primary schools will be overhauled after a report found that volunteers from the state's key provider  Access Ministries  breached its guidelines.   (based on the complaint of one person) A Department of  Education  investigation found that Access Ministries volunteers gave out between 16 and 18 copies of Refuel 2, a "Biblezine", at a Christmas performance at Torquay College in December last year.  Naja Voorhoeve complained to the department after her seven-year-old mildly autistic son, who was not enrolled in special religious instruction (SRI) classes, was given the Refuel 2 magazine by another student.  (So lets get some perspective here. A student hands it to another student then the parent demands the  Education Department  to overhaul the whole RE program? Does the Education department overhaul EVERY program when ONE parent complains? This response is out o

Dalton McGuiny (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) A group that has been pushing for the reinstatement of the controversial sex education curriculum that was dropped by the Ontario Liberal government after outrage from parents and family organizations has started a new campaign hoping to sway public opinion. A coalition of groups spearheaded by the Ontario Physical Health Education Association (OPHEA) is trying to create public acceptance for the curriculum that was shelved in 2010 by running newspaper ads, hosting a website, and holding public meetings in an attempt to white wash the sex ed program. OPHEA will hold a public meeting today, Tuesday, Dec 10th at 7pm, at David Lewis Public School, 130 Fundy Bay Blvd (near Warden Ave. & McNicoll Ave.), Toronto . "You may have heard about the ads the sex-ed activists are running in newspapers this month trying to persuade the public that there is huge public demand to update the sex ed curriculum," said Teresa Pierre, Ph
