First the background. Hamilton ON dentist Dr. Steve Tourloukis is suing the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board for refusing to warn him when teachers plan to preach the Ontario government's sex education curriculum to his kids.
Dr. Tourloukis is a Greek Orthodox Christian and a believer in Christian family values as regards things like homosexuality, abortion, pre-marital and extra-marital sex, and so on. He's against those things, at least for himself and his family, and he doesn't want them being shoved down the throats of his children, who are in Grades 1 and 4 in Ontario's so-called public school system.
The school board, which takes its direction from the Kremlin [Ontario government, surely! Ed.] says respect for alternative lifestyles, yadda yadda yadda, is a good thing and should be not just encouraged but actively promoted. Laurel Broten, the minister who succeeded a proud lesbian to the education portfolio in the Ontario government, says her government's humanistic approach -- based on a rejection of even the notion of a Supreme Being -- is here to stay.
"A little person can draw a picture of her two moms or two dads, for example, and feel safe and accepted. That’s what happens in classes across Ontario and that’s what should happen," she told a Toronto newspaper.
Dr. Tourloukis says if there's to be any teaching about family, marriage or human sexuality, he'll do it himself. Not surprisingly, 1000s of Catholic and evangelical Protestant parents agree. So, apparently, do numerous Muslim parents. Following reports of the lawsuit, schools across Ontario are starting to receive formal requests for notification when their children’s classes will discuss topics ranging from homosexuality and birth control to wizardry, evolution and "environmental worship", so they can withhold their child from classes that contradict their religious beliefs.
The letters have been modelled on a form being circulated by a group called P.E.A.C.E. Hamilton. P.E.A.C.E. stands for Public Education Advocates for Christian Equity. Click here to visit the P.E.A.C.E. website, and read about the true intent behind the new curriculum, which is to "change the traditional norms and values of society, and change them for good". That's a quote from Ms Broten.
If you have children in the Ontario system, but feel the traditional norms and values of society are just fine the way they are, you should sent a letter along those lines -- let's call it the Traditional Values Letter -- to "your" school board. (Hey, you elected them, didn't you?) Here is the model letter with some instructions on how to use it to communicate your beliefs.
If you have children in any other "public" school system, who are being threatened by the queer agenda -- see "Ontario schools forced to promote masturbation, homosexuality", WWW 4/3/10 -- please draw inspiration from Dr. Tourloukis and P.E.A.C.E. They will be only too happy if you adapt the Traditional Values Letter -- indeed, the entire campaign including a lawsuit if necessary -- to the situation in your province or state. And God will bless you for standing up for what is right according to His laws.
