Gender Ideologues Threaten Alberta’s Christian Schools
by Joseph Woodard, Crisis Magazine:
Canada has suffered an unreported revolution. In times past, revolutionaries first seized the radio stations, dominating the public narrative. Today, in the Age of Public Administration, they seize the faculties of education. Their “long march” through the Canadian schools has taken fifty years, but today, their dominion seems unchallenged.
In September, Alberta’s provincial Department of Education warned sixty private Christian schools that they are in violation of the “Safe and Caring Schools” policy issued in 2016. The government threatened the schools with “suspension or cancellation of accreditation,” unless they remove these “unwelcoming, uncaring and/or disrespectful” words from their manuals:
- “We believe men and women were created in the image of God … and therefore have transcendent, intrinsic worth.”
- “Parents are the primary educators…”
- “The unchangeable and infallible truth of the Word of God…”
- “God created mankind as male and female, equal in dignity and worth…”
- “God’s institution of marriage, a covenant between one man and one woman…”
- “Obedience to God’s law supersedes subjection to human authority”
- “The above doctrines will be taught as truth in our school…”
The list continues for well over dozen proscribed locutions, denying Christian schools the right to teach Christian beliefs about sexuality and non-negotiable reality.
