In 2011, schools began implementing the "Equity and Inclusive Education Strategy", and presently the proposed Bill 13, if passed, will see the legal protection of dozens of socially constructed sexual "orientations". There is a campaign by provincial governments in Canada to normalize the LGTB, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender life-style, and in a number of provinces to establish gay/straight alliances in schools. In Ontario, this is now clear because McGuinty has rejected the Catholic document called "Respecting Difference" on how to deal with the issue of bullying in schools. It was released this past week by the Catholic trustees and backed by the Ontario Bishops.
In all these adult efforts pushing for political correctness, who is speaking for the children? Who will protect Ontario's students from this psychological and moral abuse? School boards and teachers' unions have not been there to defend students. In fact, to help schools normalize and promote the LGBT life-style, boards are using resource Internet guides written by activist groups like Egale for grades 7-12 called MyGSA. According to Egale, the website is for youth and educators across this country for "safer and inclusive education". The Toronto District Board of Education website currently links and endorses this site.
The Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, the public teachers' union, has already developed a number of guides that are friendly and promote the LGTB agenda. One is called, Creating Spaces: Embedding Equity in Education, and another is titled, Shout Out: Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Transphobia and Heterosexism. I leave the suggestive titles and made up words to speak for themselves. All this is happening because our government, our school boards and teachers' unions are all in full support of instructing political correctness. Very sadly, however, children have only one line of defence left: their parents must protect them.
Parents can no longer trust governments, school boards and teachers' unions
Why are our governments using tax payer money and partnering with Egale to offer training workshops on “LGBT”? This sexual indoctrination in our schools and our society is the result of policies deceptively called, "Inclusive and Equitable" education. Of course it helps, at least in Ontario, to silence and buy the co-operation of many voters with the Liberals' decision to fund All-Day Kindergarten. This unnecessary extra schooling is pedagogically unsound. The added year will also cost Ontario taxpayers billions of dollars; nevertheless, this is of little importance to politicians interested in getting votes and appeasing consciences. Did the government ever bother to ask if all-day early schooling is good for children and makes them "happier"?
The Liberals didn't consult with Ontario parents and citizens if they wanted the LGTB curriculum. We think we know why: the majority of parents and students don't consider the LGTB agenda a priority or something they would endorse. The LGTB is completely politically driven and socially manufactured. As a result, the ruling government can toss aside even the mere appearance of passing "Equity" policies and laws democratically. Why do you think they had the effrontery never to mention the LGTB issue during the election if they believe it's so important?
When schools boards, governments and unions put politics and self-interest at the expense of parents and children they begin to forget that they are paid to serve the people and not rule over them. Why concern yourself with a consultation process when you can simply get bureaucrats to approve the deception of "Equity" education. The government merely instructed the ministers of education, got the school boards and trustees on side with more programs and money. Then they launched a political campaign about the need to end bullying in schools and to do that, among other things, it mandated and encouraged schools to implement the doublespeak of the "Equity and Inclusive Education Strategy".
The last step was to collaborate with gay activists to provide the schools with the resources to accomplish the task. If you listen to the LGBT rhetoric, it seems that governments have now decided that one of the most important issues facing Ontario and the nation is the protection and support of students with a dozen different sexual orientations. But please read on, regrettably there's more.
Egale’s MyGSA website goes further and lists for visitors, these could be young students, homosexual organizations like Outrage!, Stonewall, PFLAG, and pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood. The website’s recommended resources includes a book for teens called Coming Out: A Handbook for Men that includes sex advice involving grotesque sexual acts not worth mentioning here. To suggest that this material is a good resource for students is psychologically and morally abusive. People in authority are taking advantage of their positions and tempting students to sin by exploring immoral behaviour. Parental warning: your children can be visiting websites like MyGSA fully endorsed by some teachers, your local school board, teachers' unions and our provincial government. Parents should not trust any of this.
Who will protect the children?
Given all this evidence, it's only natural that parents be suspicious of governments and their political educational agenda. Politicians may be working to please people's sexual orientations and get re-elected, but who is there to protect the children and their souls? Isn't it part of a government's responsibility to keep children from harm? And to be building the common good? Don't students have the right to their moral and sexual innocence? Parents are the ones who have the right to teach their children when it comes to morals and human sexuality. The government, the schools boards and teacher unions that ought to be defending students instead are introducing programs that are abusive to their moral and sexual wellbeing. This is a betrayal of the trust students have for adults.
In addition,there is a total disregard of Christian values that are based on natural law. Governments must stop imposing this biased and misguided manufactured view of the person and human sexuality. The push to normalize the LGTB sexual agenda has no natural, moral or legal basis. The acceptance of the LGTB lifestyle has been masked as "human rights" and turned into a topic of taboo because anyone who dares to disagree is quickly attacked as being "homophobic" or bigoted. But shouldn't a truly "Equity and Inclusive" policy make plenty of room for those who don't accept it? But we digress here since this principle would be true only if the policy had been developed and passed democratically.
In the end, the only true hope is for parents to protect their children's morality and true sexuality; they must act quickly before the province and school boards turns the children against their parents on these issues. Our government is now bullying Christians: it's high time for parents to reclaim their rights and to push back. If parents don't defend their children from this Orwellian nightmare, who will? We hope that parents reclaim the fundamental responsibility and God given right and freedom to raise their children with Christian morals and values. Dear reader if parents don't do this, who will protect Ontario's children?
