AMSTERDAM, December 11, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - According to Dutch member of parliament Boris van der Ham, of the liberal Democrats 66 party, the government should mandate that all schools, including religious schools, include homosexuality as a topic in their sexual education classes.
"Too many children are raised with a homophobic morality," said Van der Ham. "Although this is more common in urban immigrant families, rural Dutch families also have such prejudices. Schools should correct that image."
The MP's statement was timed to coincide with a Thursday debate upon that subject. Six pro-homosexual organizations have sent a joint letter to the Dutch parliament asking for the inclusion of homosexuality as a mandatory topic.
In Amsterdam 82 percent of schools have been found to be silent on the subject of homosexuality in sexual education, according to Radio Netherlands Worldwide. Van der Ham denies that his proposal would violate freedom of religious education as governed by Article 23 of the Dutch constitution.
"The schools are free in the form of their lessons," he said, "but the core goals must be met."
Boris van der Ham has previously protested against the Polish government's attitude towards homosexuals, stressing Poland's duty to follow European Union rules. He has also supported the amendment of the Dutch constitution to include homosexuals among groups against which discrimination is explicitly forbidden.
The Netherlands already has some of the most pro-homosexual and anti-life policies of any country in the world. It was the first country to legalize homosexual "marriage" and to allow homosexual partners to adopt children and has spent millions of Euros to promote homosexuality as normal.
The Dutch government also subsidizes abortion and permits Dutch doctors to kill the sick, elderly, and handicapped infants.

Homophobic???? Christian values have nothing to do with being “homophobic”. More like children being raised with morals... can’t be having that you know...
I’ll bet they won’t teach about all the diseases, shorten life span, radically unstable relationships, or radically higher rates of pedophila in the homo community
religion is not the only reason against homosexuality...
And depression, suicide and ending up in diapers by age 35 plus it's a pain in the butt!
“Although this is more common in urban immigrant families, rural Dutch families also have such prejudices.”
Because there are so many homosexuals they needed immigrant families.
Sex education of any sort does not belong in k-12 schools... PERIOD! Here or there. Hasn’t anybody learned anything?
Jokes just write themselves nowadays don't they.
So this guy is tying to convince us it is a good thing the Netherlands will soon be a majority Moslem country.
Love it, the Dutch are in complete denial that the Muslims now taking over the country are really interested in being taught Euro-Weenie morality. Soon the Gays will be stoned, have walls caved-in on them or something when Sharia gets made the law of the land.
You don't think it might be part of Satan's agenda to install perverts in various national governments?
Objection to a "way-of-life" on moral grounds is not a phobia!
Teaching school children about homosexuality is fine, but it depends on why you teach them about it.
I couldn’t have any objections if the schools had the children view Sid Davis’ 1961 educational film “Boys Beware” to give the kids a warning about it.
Teach the children:
Genesis 19
Leviticus 18:22-30
Ezekiel 16:49-50
Romans 1:18-32
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Jude 1:7
Of course we are all sinners - and Thank God we have a Saviour who came for Sinners ... but I have no objection if the fine Dutch MP wants to single out a particular sin to teach the children to shun...
Seriously, what is with this world today? Straight faced, (yes I dais straight, ohhhhh) they spout this garbage. All the while demonizing the air we exhale?? Not to mention everything else they demonize and tax us for. ALL of which are far more pleasing than that disgusting behavior.
er, make that the Democrats 69 party....just sayin,
It is not a prejudice, it is not a phobia, and it is not discrimination. NO, it's discernment!! And any wise person, no matter where they live should darn well practice it. Heck anyone with an ounce of common sense!!
