Homosexual Indoctrination Grade 12 Curriculum to Start in British Columbia Schools
LifeSiteNews ^ | 9/4/07 | Hilary White

VANCOUVER, September 4, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Starting next week, British Columbia will introduce its grade 12 "Social Justice" elective course that will see homosexuality promoted in BC schools as an "alternate lifestyle" equivalent to natural marriage. The course is only the first part of a larger K-12 curriculum resulting from a Human Rights complaint settlement by the government with a pair of homosexual activists.

The British Columbia Human Rights Commission ordered that Murray Corren and his homosexual partner Peter Corren be allowed to force the BC Education Ministry to accept their curriculum and that parents will not be allowed to remove their children. Murray Corren wanted the K-12 curriculum to include, "Queer history and historical figures, the presence of positive queer role models -- past and present -- the contributions made by queers to various epochs, societies and civilizations and legal issues relating to (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered) people, same-sex marriage and adoption."

It was revealed in 2006 that the provincial government had signed the settlement contract with the two men giving them unprecedented control over the content of the curriculum. The contract stipulated that the education ministry would meet with the men every six months until September 1, 2007 to allow them to oversee the development process.

The Vancouver Sun reports that among the "key learning concepts" in the new course are "ableism, ageism, anthropocentrism, consumerism, cultural imperialism, extremism, feminism, fundamentalism, heterosexism, humanism, racism, sexism and speciesism."

Heterosexism is defined as a "prejudice against homosexuals on the assumption that heterosexuality is the norm".

Glen Hansman, president of the Vancouver Elementary School Teachers' Association admitted in the Sun that the curriculum will require students to examine injustices to homosexuals because of the assumption that heterosexuality is normal and to "take a stand against these injustices."

Sean Murphy, spokesman for the BC Catholic Civil Rights League is quoted by the Sun saying that the course "can be used by individual teachers as a vehicle to turn students against the Catholic Church on the grounds that it violates human rights by opposing practices like abortion, contraception and homosexual conduct."

With the inclusion in the list of "speciesism", the course will also introduce the concept of animal rights, a key issue in the world of secularist utilitarian bioethics that proposes human beings are no more important than animals. The term was coined by Peter Singer, the Princeton bioethicist who promotes infanticide and euthanasia on utilitarian grounds. Singer is generally considered the "father" of the modern extremist animal rights movement.

The two homosexual men filed a complaint against the B.C. Ministry of education in 1999 alleging that the Ministry's curriculum didn't adequately "address issues of sexual orientation." The result was a curriculum, the writing of which was supervised by Murray Corren, that teaches students that the "gay lifestyle" is safe and as natural as heterosexual relations.

The pair particularly objected that the law allowed an opt-out provision in which teachers are under an obligation to advise parents when a subject deemed to be "sensitive" is raised in the classroom. The complaint demanded that homosexuality be removed from the list of issues considered officially "sensitive."

The issue has sparked protest rallies by parents' groups concerned by the erosion of parental rights and the right of religious people to protect their children from secularist indoctrination.

Moreover, they’re going to rope everybody into their list of gay heroes they can get their hands on, historical evidence or lack of it be damned. Abraham Lincoln. William Shakespeare. Ruth and Naomi. David and Jonathan. Jesus Christ and St. John. No, I am not kidding.

SPECIESISM??? Are we next going to see chimpanzees sitting next to humans in Vancouver high schools?

It's already happening. We call them children of NDP voters.

If a people knowingly allow evil in their schools and civic institutions, should you feel sorry for them? Something to ponder...

“Parents had better get involved”

That might have worked 50 years ago. It’s way too late, way beyond that. The entire structure is managed to work around any resistance or objection, very sophisticated crowd control techniques if you will. Anyway, forget it.

You have to admit, public schools recruiting kids to be sexual deviants is a pretty sick idea.

To some extent, I might agree — but I have seen some real action where I live here in Taxifornia...we even got a couple of the really bad flaming libs thrown out of a middle school. But it takes a fight. And we fought. And it took threatening to vote down ALL SCHOOL BONDS and that got the attention of these featherbedding Stalinists that are running the state education system. You can fight and it can make a difference -— regardless, if I had to educate my two again, it would be in private schools 100%.

I would say it’s time for some HONEST stories in media as just what homosexual sex entails - what and how they do what they do...Believe it or not, there are a lot of naive people in the general public who have not a clue.

If the actual practices and habits were explained - I do believe more decent people would finally stand up and say NO MORE.’

‘And why do just two homo men get to take this to court and force parents who believe otherwise - indeed, for Christian parents to whom this teaching will violate their religious rights to raise their children under the precepts of the Bible =- where are their rights?

The public schools in the U.S., U,K, and Canada are now only liberal/Socialist/homo indoctrination camps. They will not change but only get worse. It is a waste of time, energy and money to try to make them change.

The only alternative is for churches and parents to start a mass exodus by setting up Church schools, small private neighborhood “Parent SChools” and homeschooling.

The only thing the Education/Indoctrination gurus will listen to is the sound of money going out the door with the loss of “matching funds.”

But it needs to go further than that. Property owners should have the right to demand that their portion of the school taxes go to the school of their choice - and NOT to support these practices that will, as it has to societies in the past, destroy our society.

It used to be a felony(corruption of a minor). But those laws aren’t enforced anymore.

I doubt if it influences normal heterosexual males in 12th grade

Homosexuals will always be a joke to real boys no matter how much they try to push it

The part here which really upsets me is the ‘you cant opt out’ again proving that to the left separation of church and state means that the state can overrule the moral and religious education of peoples children. If I lived somewhere like this and did not have the means or opportunity to homeschool I would leave tomorrow!

One's sexual life style is a matter of choice, doncha know?(Sarc.)

Do you have difficulty in adjusting to the cruel teenage dating game that happens between opposite sexes?

Has your heart been broken by the cruelty of a member of the opposite sex?

Well just give the homosexual life style a try. You will find immediate physical and mental gratification, and have VERY close, and understanding friends who will NEVER desert you , or make you feel badly. They won't reject you but they may pass you around until you find someone you are comfortable with ( we homos look after our own, unlike heterosexuals!)

( SARC.)

Well I sympathise if not empathise with the high prices, but it’s all kinda relative. Maybe back in the olden days when they had state paper that was better - one couldn’t plop down in Minnesota with them high falutin’ California dollars. Or maybe they could, since they were pulling boulders of gold out of the streams. Hm. At any rate, the boulders are long gone, lol.
