Mom, is this school or not school?

Yes, I get that question a lot. If we're doing something educational (and fun) the kids will deliberately have less fun if they know it's "for school". So sometimes I just don't tell them. Now parents in Alberta will have to tiptoe carefully if they happen to believe that some lifestyle choices are sinful or disordered. This story is right out of George Orwell. It also shows how dreadfully little educrats know about lived Christianity (ie. faith IS school and school IS faith, and life is all of the above, never to be split into little segments, as they believe it can on the Good Ship HHS Obama.) LifeSite News:

Under Alberta’s new Education Act, homeschoolers and faith-based schools will not be permitted to teach that homosexual acts are sinful as part of their academic program, says the spokesperson for Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk. 

“Whatever the nature of schooling – homeschool, private school, Catholic school – we do not tolerate disrespect for differences,” Donna McColl, Lukaszuk’s assistant director of communications, told LifeSiteNews on Wednesday evening.

“You can affirm the family’s ideology in your family life, you just can’t do it as part of your educational study and instruction,” she added.

Reacting to the remarks, Paul Faris of the Home School Legal Defence Association said the Ministry of Education is “clearly signaling that they are in fact planning to violate the private conversations families have in their own homes.”

“A government that seeks that sort of control over our personal lives should be feared and opposed,” he added.

Amen, Mister. 

I have never heard the Holy Roman Catholic faith called "your family's ideology" before. Makes it sound a lot smaller that way.  Anyway, it was only a matter of time before the Agenda chose to target homeschoolers. Alberta, where have all your redneck cowboys gone?
