British Columbia curriculum promotes gay agenda under guise of diversity

Sex and pro-gay education is finding its way to British Columbia students through the B.C. Ministry of Education, beginning in kindergarten. Its 2006 Health and Career Education curriculum dictates that kindergartners “use appropriate terminology to identify female and male private body parts” for “safety and injury prevention.” Students use diagrams and models to name the “nipples/breasts,” “vulva/vagina,” “penis,” “testicles,” and “buttocks (bottom, [...]

Ministries of education across the country are refashioning grade school curricula according to the postulates of tendentious, pseudo-scientific ideologies of identity. The radical politics of sexual education have become [...]
