"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."
If being gay were considered a sin by the religion of the school then saying 'homosexuality is a sin' is a statement of fact. Seems odd not to be allowed to teach facts.
Canada does have constitutionally backed freedom of expression...l
And it also prohibits the use of hate speech or literature.
Can somone tell me why religious tenets should be taught in either public or private schools where the attendants are supposed to be assimilating useful knowledge and not indoctrination of any kind? Why would anyone sanction this tripe?
It might be a "sin" in christianity, but it's certainly not wrong or immoral in real life. I don't see the need to teach impressionable young children that being gay is somehow wrong anymore than being left handed or blond haired is wrong. Gay people are just....gay. There's nothing anyone can do about that except stop freaking out about nothing and face the facts. It's just how you're born. Find a better topic to fuss over.
Bisexuals and bisexuality refute your premise that gays are born that way.
I believe Canada has a state sponsored Protestant Church.
Canadians are very nice and friendly, but love watching a good fist fight.
