EDMONTON, Alberta, October 26, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – The Alberta government says it is “unacceptable” for Catholic schools to uphold Church teaching on sexuality in school curriculum.
Media in Alberta reported this week that the Council of Catholic School Superintendents of Alberta had said curriculum promoting the homosexual “lifestyle,” masturbation, anal and oral sex, or transgenderism would be problematic if required by the impending K-12 health and wellness curriculum.
Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has criticized the Catholic schools and insisted their proposed program will never be taught if its final form is as it has been advertised.
“Under no circumstances will we enforce or condone a sexual health curriculum that normalizes an absence of consent, refuses to talk about contraception and other things that protect the health of sexually active young people, or in any way marginalizes sexual minorities. That's not on,” she told the Canadian Press.
Jason Kenney, a Catholic pro-life candidate for the United Conservative Party’s leadership, says Notley has no right to tell Catholic educators how to teach Catholic values.
"It's not for me or the premier to dictate to the Catholic education system how it teaches Catholic values," said Kenney, whose leadership bid has been endorsed by the national pro-life group Campaign Life Coalition.
"The whole point of the Catholic education system is to be Catholic," he said.

The Catholic schools in Canada take government money. They have ceded so much over the decades, there is no way to stop it now.
I’m unsure exactly what the school arrangements are. Do they get some kind of state status or state subsidy? Or are they stand-alone affairs? He who pays the piper calls the tune.
They may need to declare independence. “We obey God rather than man.”
Well you just answered my question :-) :-(
Becoming stand-alone affairs, and I would say the very same for Protestant and Orthodox Schools, is the only way to have integrity. Don’t give a hoot what man says, do it like God says and be bold about that. They might soon get a larger following, rather than a smaller one.
Catholic schools in Alberta are funded by taxpayers the same as public schools.
Kind of figured.
Secular loaf with a little religion sauce.
Right, but MLK is a hero.
Their policies raise my eyebrow a little.
In Ontario, if you’re a non-Catholic religious school, the best you have hope for is sixty per-cent of the funding per student that public schools get. And a lot of other school related expenses are not funded at all. IOW, if you’re Jewish, sucks to be you. You still pay taxes, of course, to fund the other schools.
Just because it was written that the End Times would be like this doesn’t make it any easier to live them. Maranatha!
Government support for Catholic schools in Canada was a sop that was thrown to the French at the time Canada became independent. It took a century to find out that it was a poison pill.
Taxpayers can choose whether a portion of their tax dollars slated for education is directed to the public schools or the Catholic school system.
What do the Jews do? Send their kids to a private Jewish school while still sending money for the tax supported schools?
I don’t know as I went to a Catholic school, which is how I knew that little smidgen of the way some schools are funded. If you really want to know about whether Jewish schools are funded, contact a synagogue in Edmonton and ask them.
Don’t expect little Mr. Jorge Bergoglio to come to their defense.
