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

Image
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...

Image via Wikipedia At an equity conference next month, Ontario ’s Dufferin-Peel Catholic school board will feature several homosexual activists including one gay magazine reporter who covered the 2010 Toronto Pride Parade, with video showing him gleefully interviewing various Pride participants, including men dressed in sado-masochistic thongs. Screenshot from video of Pihach reporting at Gay Pride parade . At one point in the video, the reporter lies down on the street as a man in drag simulates a sex act on him.  “This is the best Pride present ever.  I’m having a great Pride week ,” says Michael Pihach, a reporter with Xtra!, “Canada’s gay and lesbian newspaper.” (See  video here .   Warning: extremely offensive content. ) “I can’t believe that the school board would bring such people to a conference.  I don’t understand it,” said Francis Rodrigues, a concerned local Catholic in Dufferin-Peel.  “I mean, it’s common sense.  We’re entrust...

Gay-straight alliances: Promoting “safe schools” or homosexual activism?

Image
Image via Wikipedia Claiming gay-straight alliance clubs are essential for “safe schools”, homosexual groups have pressured Ontario’s Catholic schools in the last month to jump on the GSA bandwagon. All stakeholders seem to indicate that they want to protect students from bullying. At the same time, many question whether the “safe school” claim is merely a cover for using the schools to promote widespread acceptance of homosexuality. There is substantial evidence to indicate that the charge is probably valid. One clue would be that Canada’s online hotspot for GSAs -  MyGSA.ca - the one such resource linked by the Toronto District School Board , is run by Egale - Canada ’s leading homosexual activist group.  GSAs are also  promoted  by Planned Parenthood’s Canadian Federation for Sexual Health. Egale’s site, which includes a directory of Canada’s GSAs, and resources for teens, parents, and teachers, recommends books to help teens “come out” and get oriented to th...

Evangelicals disappointed at lack of Catholic leadership on homosexuality push in Ontario schools

Image
Image via Wikipedia Evangelicals have expressed disappointment at the apparent collapse of the Ontario Catholic Church in the face of pressure from homosexual activists, who successfully lobbied a Catholic school board last week to scrap a pro-family equity policy that included explicit wording to prevent instruction that undermines Church teaching on homosexuality. “It seems to me that [the Roman Catholic Church ] is being co-opted before our very eyes, as illustrated by this recent event,” said Royal Hamel, an Evangelical minister.  “I view this with no small degree of alarm, ... because the Roman Catholic is one of the last few remaining bulwarks against the deluge.” Phil Lees, a Protestant who leads Ontario’s Family Coalition Party and runs Public Education Advocates for Christian Equality ( PEACE ), which aims to help families make faith-based educational choices, said the Halton Catholic board’s collapse is a blow to traditional families in the public system. Meeting in ...
