Here once again is the actual California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell denying that same-sex "marriage" has anything to do with public schools.
Repeated assertions to the contrary in every campaign for traditional marriage, from Massachusetts,to Maine to California - Every campaign for same-sex "marriage" always includes sustained denials that this effects public education or religious liberty in any way!!
Well our friends in Canada are helping show the way; recently a handout given to Public School teachers in Canada basically indicates parents have no rights when it comes to their child’s education concerning homosexuality in Canada.
Teachers were given the handout recently to assist in dealing with questions from parents opposed to anti-homophobia curriculum in schools. For example, in response to the question, “This is against our rights as parents to teach our own set of family values,” the board is telling its teachers to respond with, “This is not about parents rights.”
The sheet given to the Canadian teachers specifies that teachers do not “condone” the removal of children from classes that deal with homosexuality. If told, “This is against our rights as parents to teach our own set of family values,” the board suggests teachers offer the following responses:- “As teachers, we do not condone children being removed from our classes when we teach about Aboriginal People, people of color, people with disabilities or gays and lesbians."
- “You can teach your child your own values at home. Public schools teach everyone about respecting diversity and valuing everyone."
- “This is not about parent rights. Children have the right to an inclusive education free from discrimination.”
Jim Enos, President of the Hamilton-Wentworth Family Action Council, told LifeSiteNews that he was struck by “the obvious point that parents who object [to the homosexuality curriculum] will be ignored, and that the schools educate your children in their ideology whether you like it or not.”
My favorite part in this handout is when the board compares anti-homophobia education to teaching students about aboriginal rights. I don’t know of any religion that has a specific doctrine on aboriginals. The persistant comparisons to race and such are a constant reminder of how shamless and unsophisticated the approach is/will be; if we allow this to continue in the U.S.
Once again the handout is HERE.

As I've said before, for marriage neutering advocates to lead the general population to believe that it will not be taught in public schools that brideless or groomless pairings are no different from marriage is to be deceptive.
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE it will, if the official policy of the state is that there is no difference. And of course parents will find it more difficult to excuse their child from such teaching.
The marriage neutering advocates think that is all a GOOD THING. But even they aren't so blind as to not see that majority of voters wouldn't like that. So they mislead, if not outright lie.
"There's no requirement that marriage be taught in school." Yeah, there's no law saying I have to urinate when I wake up in the morning, either, but it's going to happen. Homosexuality advocates don't wait for permission, let alone instruction. They advance their agenda on youth until they are forced to stop. If there is no law that effectively prevents them from doing something, they're going to go ahead and do it.
