Catholic school board urged to ban book
KITCHENER, ONT. — The Waterloo Catholic District School Board should stop using a resource book that students never see because it presents homosexuality as “morally neutral,” a group says.
Defend Traditional Marriage and Family objects to “Open Minds to Equality” because it could lead people “to reject scriptural teaching on homosexual acts,” group spokesman Jack Fonseca told the board's family live advisory committee on Wednesday.
“They will have been led to reject Jesus,” Mr. Fonseca said.
The book is an optional resource teachers can use if, for example, they want to address objectionable things being said in class, said Catholic board spokesman John Shewchuk.
The book was approved by the family life committee several years ago and kids never see it, Mr. Shewchuk added.
But even the fact teachers can use it is dangerous, Mr. Fonseca said.
Many resources are secular and parents trust teachers to use them with discretion, committee chairwoman Cathy Sweeney said.
But committee member Joann Schmalz said Catholic parents want their kids to be taught Catholic teachings, such as that sex is for procreation.
“This is our faith. This is why you pay Catholic tax dollars,” she said.
Committee members discussed the book but won't make their decision until their next meeting on Nov. 1.
Enough is enough. These stupid religious organizations have no place making public comments or receiving public funds. They do not contribute taxes themselves to our society and they practice segregation and superstitious lies and hatred that are non-Canadian values. Time to end all public funding of these segregationist havens of ignorance and untruth. There must be only one public, secular school system in Canada. All private education must be banned in Canada. End the funding of Catholic schools.
