Secularist Hate-Religion

Modern Wars of Religion

In the UK, the government, run by increasingly militant secular humanists, is insisting that everybody support and participate in the promotion of homosexuality and trans-sexuality.  The front line of this ideological and political war is the school.

The same conflict is already playing out in Australia.  It can be expected to unfold in New Zealand as well.

Here is a UK orthodox Jewish perspective:

Jewish Families Will Leave UK If Faith Schools Forced to Promote LGBT Lifestyles

Thousands of Jewish families will leave Britain if the government goes ahead with plans to force schools to promote LGBT lifestyles to children, an Orthodox campaigner has warned.  Lawyers acting for the Charedi activist and father, Shraga Stern, have written to British education minister Nick Gibb warning draft guidelines requiring schools to “actively promote” same-sex relationships and alternative lifestyles as “equally valid” would breach religious freedom provisions under European human rights law.

Mr Stern, whose seven children are aged between two and 12, argues that “in the Orthodox Jewish world it falls to parents or legal guardians, and not to schools” to teach children about sex and relationships. “My father taught me about relationships at the appropriate time. I want to do the same. We do not want sex education taught in schools. We are tolerant of different lifestyles but we do not promote them,” the Sunday Times reported him as saying.

Department of Education advice, which demands “homosexuality, same-sex relationships and gender reassignment” be introduced in the classroom with the “active promotion of respect”, is described as “morally unacceptable and unlawful” by representatives of Mr Stern in their 19-page letter, which claims thousands of Orthodox Jews will have to leave Britain if the rules are put into effect.

The letter explains: “We note in particular the phrase that different ways of life may be ‘equally valid’. This statement goes to the heart of the ethical worldview taught by a faith school.  “Belief in God and in a religious way of life distinguishes between action that is morally good and action that is sin.”

Lest anyone think that this is just a mere academic debate, the authorities have demonstrated that if religious schools do not conform to the Government orthodoxy, they would be punished and shut down.

Breitbart London previously reported how Ofsted, the British schools watchdog led by Ms Spielman, failed a private Jewish girls’ school, claiming its pupils — aged eight and under — were being denied “a full understanding of fundamental British values” as a result of the north London institution’s failure to teach about homosexuality and gender reassignment."

In New Zealand, the NZ Bill of Rights carves out strong protections for religious freedom.  However, it remains to be seen whether the present wave of ideological zealots championing their particular secularist religion can be withstood and the integrity of the Bill of Rights be maintained.
