Big Brother Says "No Opt-Outs"

As if Canadians haven't seen enough attacks on parental rights lately, more bad news came recently from BC. The Vancouver board of education announced its plans to enforce a ministry policy that prevents parents from pulling students out of classes that indoctrinate children into accepting perverse lifestyles as "alternative sexuality".

According to ministry guidelines, students can only opt out of the health portions of Health and Career Education K to 7, Health and Career Education 8 and 9, and Planning 10.

They aren't exempt from the lessons completely and must learn the material outside the classroom setting, by home instruction or self-directed studies.

They also have to prove they've learned the material.

In other words the choice is between learning about perverse lifestyles in class or studying the same thing at home - and then demonstrating to the instructor that they understood the material and that they understood it the way the instructor wants them to.

And, according to the Vancouver board of education, parents should be lucky to have even that, because no opt-out will be allowed of any other classes containing controversial material. Moreover - perverse sexual indoctrination will be entrenched into the general school curriculum in a way that classes containing controversial material can't be identified:

Edward Da Vita, a spokesman for the Catholic Civil Rights League, said he would prefer parents be able to pull their children out of any class containing controversial material. "The problem now is that controversial subject matter can be brought up any time, anywhere, and there is no reasonable alternative delivery available for that," he said.

Well, if the parents can no longer protect their children from controversial content at school - how about pulling the children out of the public school system altogether? There are private and religious schools - expensive yet efficient.

And there is home schooling. Even if none of the parents can afford to stay home full time - a few homeschooling families could arrange it so that each adult doesn't have to take more than a single day off every two or three weeks. Sure, even that will result in a slight loss in pay, but the opportunity to give children the right education is worth the sacrifice.
