Blogging the Revised Ontario Sex-Education Curriculum

I am using the next few blog posts to highlight the Revised Ontario Sex-education curriculum. This first post is about values:

From the curriculum for grades 1-8:

“Parents are the primary educators of their children with respect to learning about values,
appropriate behaviour, and ethnocultural, spiritual, and personal beliefs and traditions,
and they are their children’s first role models. It is therefore important for schools and
parents to work together to ensure that home and school provide a mutually supportive
framework for young people’s education.”

At the outset, if the government of Ontario really believed that the parental role is important, the parents’ religious values would not be so immediately dismissed. The consultation of parents was done by allowing one parent from each school in the province to weigh in on the program. Judging by the persistence of the protests,, it seems the wrong parents were picked for consultation. Less than 1% of parents were consulted. It should be noted that the curriculum demands the surrender of the Christian parents’ values to the values of the state. This would, I believe, be true of many non-Christian religious values.

A question period video is available about this consultation.

For those outside Ontario, Kathleen Wynne is the Premier of Ontario, similar to a governor of a U.S. state. She is also a lesbian.

No Competition

By definition, idolatry is totalizing. As there is a God who claims dominion and lordship and crown rights over every particle of His creation, idols do the same. The state has been deformed from its proper (God ordained and restricted) sphere by human reasoning, which is in opposition to God’s revealed Word, and has become a powerful idol. It is an idol that seeks to define right from wrong, truth from error, beauty from ugliness. It has usurped these powers in unrighteousness, crudely affirming that what is true and right and beautiful is what it has legislated to be so. This is immediately evident in many governments’ attack on the family, the unborn, the disabled, and the heterosexual. It is evident in the creation of fictions such as same sex marriage, multiple genders (transgenderism), euthanasia as compassion, and abortion as birth control.

God has ordained government, but government is not God.

A pietistic Christianity is what the state demands, and what no Christian can offer. Pietism limits the role of the Christian faith to the private and personal, seeking personal salvation in the future, but severely restricts its practise in the present. It is a limitation to private worship, Bible reading, and prayer, as long as these do not result in acting upon the claims of Scripture. The  state seeks to drive the actual living out of the Christian faith further into the private sphere, knowing full well that as the state expands its powers and influence, that sphere becomes smaller and smaller, and much less relevant to daily life. In this way, many leaders in the state hope to virtually eliminate the Christian faith, not by mere oppression, but by relegating it out of normal life. As the Christian faith is co-opted by the state for its own purposes, with the cooperation of apostate denominations (largely liberal mainline denominations), the Christian faith becomes a showpiece of state intervention into areas outside its rightful sphere.

Idolatry of this sort accepts no competition from church, family, education or business. This is why those representing the state, and many in popular culture, demand that the Christian faith be re-formed to accommodate the demands of culture. The Christian is faced with the choice (Acts 5:29) of obeying God or the idol makers.

One such idol maker is Hillary Clinton. She now demands that the Christian faith surrender to her legislative powers over truth. Video here.

Ontario Liberals to introduce updated version of sex education curriculum pulled in 2010 over religious objections

The new sex ed. curriculum will teach the following. Much of what would be taught would fall under the criminal code of “sexual interference” a few (better) years ago. My quick list below is not in any particular order of importance, and most will be explicit in their instruction, but some will be implied.   The destruction of faith and family has always been a stated goal of Marxist thought, and is certainly a goal of Cultural Marxism.

 

    1. Sex is a personal choice, and the authority of parents and religious faith are secondary to the self.
    1. The human person is autonomous. Nothing should impede personal freedom.
    1. Gender (male/female) is a social construct. The child may change gender at will, and identify with any number of options (see Facebook).
    1. Number in a sexual union is a social construct.
    1. Abortion is not evil, nor something which should bring shame or guilt.
    1. Abortion is acceptable for any reason at any time in a pregnancy, including the abortion of a baby of an undesired sex.
    2. Abortion is a good way to prevent children with birth defects from being born.
    1. Male, Female, single or two are optional and interchangeable in raising children. There is no preference to a stable, male/female parented family.
    2. Divorce is not a tragedy or failure.
    1. Sex before marriage in inevitable, so all precautions must be taken.
    1. Whatever you wish to do with your body is good and wholesome, as long as it is consensual and done safely.
    2. The State owns children.
    3. The State defines what constitutes marriage and family.
    4. The State supersedes religious faith and family.
    5. What is considered taboo now may well be approved by the State at a later time.
    6. Marriage is not for the endurance of the natural life of the married, and any number of unions may occur in a person’s life.
    7. Sodomy is not a sin, nor unnatural, nor a problem to solve. It is as normal and healthy as heterosexuality.
    8. Church and family must defer to State authorities on these matters.

 

What the Educational establishment doesn’t know (or does know and refuses to heed), is that Jesus words are true:

 

Matthew 18:5–6 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, 6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.”
