CANADA CONTINUES TO SLIDE...
WorldNetDaily reports in a link sent in by a reader:
In the wake of Canada's legalization of same-sex marriage, a human-rights complaint has been filed in British Columbia alleging the absence of pro-homosexual instruction in public schools is a denial of equal treatment.
The development underscores the concerns of same-sex marriage opponents in the United States who argue legalization would force schools to teach about homosexual behavior as a positive, alternative lifestyle for children.
The article describes the argument being presented:
Corren says the province's social studies curriculum refers to aboriginals, women and multiculturalism, but has no mention of what Corren defines as the "queer population," the Vancouver paper said.
He wants that changed to include: "Queer history and historical figures, the presences of positive queer role models -- past and present, the contributions made by queers to various epochs, societies and civilizations, and legal issues relating to [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered] people, same-sex marriage and adoption."
