Schools in Newfoundland and Labrador will no longer be participating in a popular holiday charity.
The province’s English School District has directed all schools to cease participation in Operation Christmas Child, a campaign that gives schools and individuals the opportunity to fill a shoebox with small gifts to send to children in need in more than 150 countries.
The campaign is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, a non-denominational evangelical organization.
District trustees voted at a public meeting on Nov. 25 to end any provincial school participation in the program after concerns were raised about the policies of Samaritan’s Purse.
“This organization is on record with its statement of beliefs that it requires its co-ordinating volunteers to sign statements of faith that are in direct conflict with our inclusive philosophy, particularly as it pertains to the LGBT community,” said director of education Tony Stack.
“For example, a child with two moms or two dads, unfortunately, has been put in the position of choosing between fitting in and partaking with other classmates in an activity, or supporting an organization opposed to the very existence of that very child’s family unit.”

Screw them ,do it on your own
Fascists have really taken over Canada’s education bureaucracy
The gaystapo strikes again.
At this rate, “gay bashing” is going to go from a figurative term, to a literal one...
I hate faggies.
So the “inclusive” people kick the people of faith to the curb, and lots of little kids suffer. At no time would anyone’s family views be mentioned to the children doing the little shoeboxes. They just get a shoebox, fill it with useful and fun little gifts, and someone is blessed by it on Christmas.
There is no greater group of bullies than the lavender mafia.
Eff them Samaritan’s Purse does wonderful work and help to those in need. This is persecution plain and simple.
The political priests that burn incense to them are evil. You can bet they also ease access to the kids by sex worshippers. May God move these foolish unproductive cultures to repentance.
Sinners rejoice, not in the good news that Jesus is there to redeem them but rather that they are able to drive another nail in the culture.
Huh, We’ve done shoeboxes for several years. Just had 65 of them in my house last week before we took them to the drop off point. I’ve never been asked to sign a statement of faith. Perhaps people running drop off points, but never someone packing or organizing a packing party.
But, the homo/perpetual offense crown shall never let an offense pass without whining about it.
Like typical leftists, they only seek to destroy, never to build up.
Side note, I know a young lady who, as a child in India received OCC shoeboxes. She was amazed that someone in America loved her enough to give her gifts and had no idea how they were able to get such a wide variety of things. The shoeboxes were the only gifts she’d ever received. She now lived in America and was blown away upon going to a store. She actually still has some of the toys she got in her shoeboxes.
Time’s up this year, but fellow FReepers, take the opportunity to pack OCC shoeboxes next year.
And they have here as well. Some teachers are still Americans but virtually all administration positions as well as school board members are Commie, Pinko Fags!
Mild exaggeration but functionally correct.

What about the poor human who does not know if his amoeba parent was a mom or dad or other or ????
Mark of the beast.
But if something offends heterosexuals, it’s just because they’re intolerant, right?
If something is a moral good, it offends homosexuals.
Homos have a different gift they’d like to give these children. More proof that homosexuality is demonic.
The left can never build a boy scouts, Girl Scouts, or an organization like Operation Christmas Child that distributes 10 million shoe boxes to children per year all they are good at is destroying.
Not at all surprising.
Slightly off-topic, but: today I was shopping in both a Pier 1 and Fred Meyer store. I was looking for Christmas-related items, and I noticed that NOTHING that I saw in either store had any specific Christian content. (Santa Clause doesn’t count, since he has been thoroughly secularized.) There was nothing to be found in either store about the birth of Jesus.
There's a huge mall that I visit daily during bad weather so I can exercise ("mall walking").In the mall one can see the Jewish candles...which is absolutely fine...but nothing,as you said,that even hints at Christianity.
And for the record this mall is one located in a very prosperous,and very "progressive",suburban area of Boston.Which,or course,means there aren't all that many genuine Christians...so few shoppers will be offended.
