Leftists don’t ever seem to tumble to the fact that, if you have to force it on the people, there’s probably something wrong with it. Re: homosexuality, evolution, radical Islam, Illegal immigration, man-made global warming, communism, and on and on. It never occurs them them that they, not the people, just might be wrong.

Morons.

These “666” government types are getting obnoxious.

[Alouette]

Are the Muslims also required to learn these subjects or do they get a pass?

[Greg F]

Government tells them they can home school . . . but they can’t avoid taxes to support schools which teach anti-christian viewpoints like the legitimacy of homosexuality. Must support the schools but can’t use them.

Since this is Kanada, are they also going force fed them the socialist teachings of Karl Marx?

[Zionist Conspirator]

Seeing as how the Mennonites are somehow connected to Harvard Divinity School I'm pleasantly surprised to read that they are opposed to evolution and homosexuality.

Say, do evolutionists advocate forcing evolution on Amish kids as well, or do they qualify as "noble savages" whose worldview is non-western and thus not to be altered?

[Mumbles]

Correction: "teach the full government approved dictated curriculum" ahh, that i more like it. I would love to see the Mennonites come to the US and ask for asylum based on religious discrimination. They would be happy and there would be a legal precedent against the same perverse behavior here. I guess tolerance is a one way street.

“While the government sees its actions as nothing more than enforcing technical regulations, many view the case as intolerance of Christian faith. “

The U.S. and church “leaders” have rolled over Christianity a long time ago. Evolution and homosexuality mock the Christian faith.

“This move is an enactment of the Ministry of Education’s decision last year to shut down schools that don’t teach the full government-approved curriculum.”

The Agenda. It’s no different on this side of the border. When good people do nothing, bad things happen.

I don't see anything wrong with presenting both evolution AND creationism. (my opinion only, I don't see why it couldn't be both, rather than one or the other) However, if people choose to favor one approach over the other - that's their fundamental human right.

Not sure how someone can justify teaching homosexuality in the schools....other than it exists.

[Graymatter]

Lefebvre replied, "It's difficult to say because the educational program insists

No, programs do not insist, pinheaded bureaucrats on power trips insist.

that students acquire competence in the whole program therefore how could you eliminate one part of the program and still have a general competence?"

So now you don't possess general academic competence if you're not indoctrinated to accept homosexual behavior as normal and appropriate.

[Antoninus]

A lot more of this is coming. I will not let the government schools teach my children immorality. Period.

[N3WBI3]

A very frightening line in the article:

“In 2002, social workers in Aylmer removed seven children from a Mennonite family because the family used spanking as a form of discipline.”

[jeddavis]

Funny even the governments now associate the two subjects...

[polymuser]

So, are transexuals used as an example of both subjects?

Oh Canada, a kinder, gentler, Communist Country...

BTW, I’m from Canada... but the Maple flavor Kool-Aid give me heart burn and flatulence...

[Cloverfarm]

This makes me mad and not just because my family has Mennonite background. Heaven knows they’d be welcome in other areas if they decided to relocate.

About evolution ... in our local public school lots of my kids’ teachers are members of our denomination. DD’s 3rd grade teacher told her before bringing up evolution that the state says she has to give this information, but she personally doesn’t agree with it.

[rickdylan]

Sounds like the choice is leave or let the state turn your kids into evolution-believing homosexuals, and they’re leaving. Governments can only get so oppressive and people start to leave.

[Doctor Don]

Face it...Canada is not the home of the free and the brave!
