Homeschooling families told they cannot teach that homosexual acts are sinful!

Hopefully, courageous Canadians will tell the fascist pig thugs to shove their regulations where the sun doesn’t shine.

EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada (PNN) - February 23, 2012 - Under Alberta’s new Education Act, homeschoolers and faith-based schools will not be permitted to teach that homosexual acts are sinful as part of their academic program, says the spokesperson for Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk.

“Whatever the nature of schooling - homeschool, private school, Catholic school - we do not tolerate disrespect for differences,” Donna McColl, Lukaszuk’s assistant director of communications, told LifeSiteNews on Wednesday evening.

“You can affirm the family’s ideology in your family life, you just can’t do it as part of your educational study and instruction,” she added.

Reacting to the remarks, Paul Faris of the Home School Legal Defense Association said the Ministry of Education is “clearly signaling that they are in fact planning to violate the private conversations families have in their own homes. A government that seeks that sort of control over our personal lives should be feared and opposed,” he added.

The HSLDA and other homeschooling groups warned this week that the new Alberta Education Act, which was re-tabled by Alison Redford’s Progressive Conservative government on Feb. 14th to replace the existing School Act, threatens to mandate “diversity” education in all schools, including home schools.

Section 16 of the new legislation restates the current School Act’s requirement that schools “reflect the diverse nature” of Alberta in their curriculum, but it adds that they must also “honor and respect” the controversial Alberta Human Rights Act that has been used to target Christians with traditional beliefs on homosexuality. “School” is defined to include homeschoolers and private schools in addition to publicly funded school boards.

McColl emphasized that homeschoolers were already included in the current definition of “school” in the School Act, going back to 1988; and Section 16, she said, “is specifically with regards to programs, courses, and instructional materials.”

According to McColl, Christian homeschooling families can continue to impart Biblical teachings on homosexuality in their homes, “as long as it’s not part of their academic program of studies and instructional materials.”

Ed. Note: For God’s sake, stop teaching your children that the State is all-powerful. Stop obeying arbitrary and ungodly statutes. Stop doing what you are told, if what you are told to do is fundamentally wrong. Show some courage! Refuse to comply. Refuse to do what the fascists tell you to do.  Otherwise, you are just another useless coward, and deserve the slavery to the State that will be your lot in life.
