Ontario Education Minister: Catholic schools can’t teach abortion is wrong - that’s ‘misogyny’

– In what pro-life leaders are calling a stunning and unprecedented attack on religious freedom, Ontario’s Education Minister has apparently declared that Catholic schools can no longer teach that abortion is wrong.

Laurel Broten, who serves under Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty, said Wednesday that Catholic schools are barred from teaching this core moral belief because Bill 13, the government’s controversial “anti-bullying” law, prohibits “misogyny.”

“Taking away a woman’s right to choose could arguably be considered one of the most misogynistic actions that one could take,” she told the Canadian Press. “I don’t think there is a conflict between choosing Catholic education for your children and supporting a woman’s right to choose.”

Bill 13 had already been slammed by Ontario’s bishops as an attack on religious freedom because it forces Catholic schools to allow “gay-straight alliance” clubs.

“This is absolutely unbelievable and shocking,” said Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition. ”The rights of the Catholic schools are protected in Canada’s Constitution. Especially coming from somebody who’s a purported Catholic with her children in Catholic schools.”

When will Laurel Broten drag her sorry c*nt to a maddrasah and give the muslims the same order?

I’m thinking right around the 14th of Never.

It is stuff like this that not only has me hating liberals, it has me eager for the day when they’ll be held to account for their tyrannies.

Hey Laurel!

Abortion IS Wrong!

We will continue to teach that it is Wrong!

Your attempts to intimidate through political labeling, are an embarrassment, and demonstrate a complete ignorance of language.

These God-Killers are really trying to force their ideology on the children-—Good is Evil and Evil is Good.

A total flip of Christianity. It is Satanism and nihilism. They teach children that all perversions are good and all healthy, moral living is evil.

They are irrational-—promote ideas that defy human nature. Truly sick how their minds work. They want to be gods and decide right and wrong, even though Christianity has proven to be so successful on every level.

As Franklin said-— “...look how horrible man is with religion; imagine how evil he would be with no religion.” We have seen no god —with the French Revolution, Stalin and Hitler, Mao, Pot, etc. and it is really Satanic.

I think the Bible warns us about this end-time.

Half (more than half in some cultures) of aborted babies are female. THAT’S misogyny!

Good thing you got that one in as fast as you did, because I was about to post the same reply.

Misogyny = killing a female infant because she’s a female infant. 98% of all sex selection in China is anti female.

Bill 13, the government’s controversial “anti-bullying” law, prohibits “misogyny.”

But apparently bullying Catholics is OK.

I think it’s time that all we who read 1984 long ago should re-read it. Very carefully.

Just teach that abortion is by definition the intentional killing of a completely innocent human being for personal convenience (except in cases of medical necessity). Let the school children decide for themselves whether such a despicable act is right or wrong.

They allow no Truth in schools-—even American schools. Children are being deliberately taught lies-—like Heather has two mommies to destroy Logic in children and so they will not recognize lies. Truth is being intentionally kept from curricula-—it is all to promote the correct “feelings” when one hears words. BF Skinner conditioning is being done to children in today’s classrooms.

They are trying to flip Good and Evil. Erase Christian Ethics that were prevalent in America. You can see it in all movies directed at children-—to change their morality on sex, what constitutes “family”, “marriage”, etc.

They are normalizing Vice—cheating, stealing, lying, etc. so that they will grow to be ungovernable-—need totalitarian govt.

Public Virtue is supposed to be promoted in Just societies. Justice is a Virtue—and you eliminate all Virtue when societies promote Vice.

Sex Ed is how they corrupt the minds of young children. Innocence of children through 12 is essential for normal healthy sexual development and a respect for the opposite sex. Intimacy and privacy—needed elements in healthy sexuality is being stripped by making it a “group” thing taught stripped of morality-—which makes the sex act meaningless and vulgar.

Children should learn respect for all life—in the womb particularly—and learn about character and responsibility for actions. We are stripping Virtue from the hearts of our children-—like CS Lewis wrote about in Abolition of Man. It is intentionally being done by Socialists-—(cultural marxists).

Yes. Brave New World is also a necessity. The Marxists are literally destroying the meaning of all our words. We lose that and they destroy us.

Marriage is being made meaningless-—family now means anything, gay is the opposite now, rainbows are obscene. Teachers are no longer parents who until the 60’s were considered not only the first teachers but the most important. Male and Female-—is being made obsolete by people mutilating themselves and living in fantasy land where truth and DNA mean nothing. People are forced by LAW to recognize insanity!!!! (Just Law is no longer Just). Just like 1984 and BNW where the word mother made everyone vomit.

The plastic minds of our children are being given to the State which John Stuart Mill warned us—hundreds of years ago—that if we allow government to run schools, they will make us into their slaves. And I hear no outrage from the parents——allowing minds of children to be conditioned and warped into creepy ideology. They won’t like their own children when they grow up. In fact, their own children will probably kill them for their assets.

Too bad the left doesn’t apply misogyny to girl babies.
