Attempts to corrupt students are made at all levels of schooling. The British Columbia (Canada) College of Teachers (BCCT) fought a legal battle all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada to prevent Trinity Western University from demanding high moral standards from its students, or failing that, to force at least some of their students to attend another university. Fortunately they lost the case. (See item 1)

**************************************************************************************************************** item 1 GOOD NEWS IN THE TRINITY WESTERN UNIVERSITY CASE
******* by Janet Epp Buckingham, vice-president of Christian Legal Fellowship and general legal counsel for The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, in response to the Supreme Court of Canada decision in the Trinity Western University Case
******* The Supreme Court, by an eight to one majority, has ordered the BCCT to approve TWU's education program. The majority judgment states "Absent concrete evidence that training teachers at TWU fosters discrimination in the public schools of B.C., the freedom of individuals to adhere to certain religious beliefs while at TWU should be respected." The majority stated that "tolerance of divergent beliefs is a hallmark of a democratic society." In 1996 the BCCT rejected TWU's application for approval of their teacher education program despite the fact that the review committee recommended approval with conditions. The BCCT gave the following reasons for refusing the application: "the proposed program follows discriminatory practices which are contrary to the public interest and public policy which the College must consider under its mandate as expressed in the Teaching Profession Act. " The "discriminatory practices" refers to a lifestyle policy that students attending TWU sign that requires students to refrain from certain practices, including homosexual sexual behaviour. TWU applied for judicial review. The chambers judge found that BCCT's decision was made without evidence, quashed the decision and remitted the matter to the BCCT with directions. A majority of the Court of Appeal denied the appeal. The BCCT appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, which heard the appeal on November 9, 2001. The majority held that it was appropriate for the BCCT to consider TWU's lifestyle policy. However, the BCCT did not properly distinguish between belief and conduct. The Court said that freedom of belief is wider than the freedom to act on those beliefs. In this case, the majority of the Court found that the BCCT inferred from the beliefs set out in the lifestyle policy that graduates of TWU would act in a discriminatory manner. Rather, it should have considered concrete evidence of the conduct of graduates before it rejected TWU's education program. Madam Justice L'Heureux-Dube dissented. She decided that the BCCT's rejection of TWU's education program was reasonable because the BCCT is entrusted with ensuring an unbiased education system. The majority decision endorses religious freedom but places limits on discriminatory actions even if they are based on religious beliefs. It also states that no right under the Charter is privileged at the expense of another.

******* Militant gay English on the rise
******* Ben Shapiro
******* August 20, 2003
******* Picture this: Your son goes to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. The day before fall session begins, Billy tells you that he wants to major in English. It's not the most useful major, you think, but then again, it could be worse. So Billy returns to school with your blessing.
******* After finals, Billy comes home for vacation. You ask him what he learned this quarter. "I learned how to be gay," he answers. A stunned silence. "Yeah, I took English 317, Literature and Culture."
******* "You learned how to be gay in an English course?"
******* "Sure. The title of the course was 'How to be Gay: Male Homosexuality and Initiation.' It fit my schedule. And by the way, there's this guy named Jim I met. I know you'll love him like ... well ... another son.'"
******* Such a scenario may sound far-fetched. It shouldn't. "How to be Gay" is a real course at the University of Michigan. The course description sates: "This course will examine the general topic of the role that initiation plays in the formation of gay male identity ... In particular, we will examine a number of cultural artifacts and activities that seem to play a prominent role in learning how to be gay: (including) camp, diva-worship, drag,
muscle culture, taste, style and political activism."
******* Professor David Halperin, the teacher of English 317, claims that his class "does not teach students to be homosexual." But in his more honest days, back in 1996, Halperin wrote: "Let there be no mistake about it: Lesbian and gay studies, as it is currently practiced in the United States, expresses an uncompromising political militancy." He also explained that lesbian and gay studies intellectuals were the leaders of the militant gay movement, pushing universities and governments "to recognize same-sex couples, to oppose the U.S. military's anti-gay policy, to suspend professional activities in states that criminalize gay sex or limit access to abortion, and to intervene on behalf of human rights for lesbians, bisexuals and gay men at the local and national levels."
******* The University of Michigan is not alone. English departments around the country have become brainwashing centers for the militant gay movement. Consider the courses offered at just a few of our nation's major centers of academe:
******* The University of Pennsylvania offers an English course titled "Theories of Sexuality." The course considers "the politics and meaning of non-normative sexualities across time and in different cultural locations" and discusses "contemporary debates about the limits of transgender identity, gay pride and gay shame, the meaning of 'queer,' and responses to HIV/AIDS." Students will look at "some examples of queer popular culture." In case that's
too intellectually strenuous, the course does not require a final exam.
******* The University of Maryland introduces students to lesbian and gay literature in English 265, "a study of the pervasiveness of homoeroticism in literature from the Renaissance to the present." In this kind of course, two men buying drinks at a bar in a Louis L'Amour western novel are expressing unresolved sexual tension. For the more advanced student, Maryland has "Special Topics in Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Literature."
******* And my dearly beloved home school, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), offers English students the ability to delve into "Lesbian and Gay Literature Before Stonewall." According to the campus homosexual magazine TenPercent, "a class that encourages having a queer desire within texts has never been so utterly titillating ... Who knew assigned reading could be so
fun and so 'GAAAAYYYYY!'" For those "titillated" into continuing their English careers, UCLA offers "Lesbian and Gay Literature After Stonewall," a course TenPercent describes as "a class that shocks you with radical queerness." The class covers "literature about angry Asian bottoms, crunchy granola lesbians, a ghetto-fabulous gay hip-hop princess and a vagina jungle."
******* Gay militancy has even crept into high school English courses. Amherst Regional High School in Massachusetts began offering a course on gay and lesbian literature in 2002, designed to explore the "sexual identity" of homosexuals. Sara Just, creator of the program, earned her master's from Vermont's Goddard College.
******* "Many schools, including ours, now have policies protecting the rights of gay and lesbian kids," Just said. "For me, the next logical step is to make it clear that gay and lesbian people will be respected, celebrated and recognized in our curriculum." After founding the program, Just actively recruited students. Amherst is a public high school.
******* If you pay tuition, you're sponsoring the militant homosexual agenda. If you pay taxes, you're sponsoring the militant homosexual agenda. If your child majors in English, you're sponsoring the militant homosexual agenda. Tell Billy to major in math.

******* item 3 LIBERALS IN ACADEMIA - "WE ARE THE ONLY ONES ALLOWED TO INDOCTRINATE"
******* Liberal Indoctrination Going Strong on U.S. Campuses
******* By Chad Groening and Jason Collum
******* May 14, 2003
******* From http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/5/afa/142003c.asp via [email protected]
******* (AgapePress) - A Christian college professor who teaches at a state university says he knows first-hand how his liberal counterparts are engaged in a systematic effort to indoctrinate everyone who does not agree with their world view. He has seen how his liberal counterparts talk about "tolerance," but are intolerant of anyone who does not agree with them.
******* Dr. J. Budziszewski is a professor of government and philosophy at the University of Texas, and author of How to Stay Christian In College. He says liberals in both education and the media have adopted an attitude that free speech is only acceptable when it agrees with their point of view.
******* "The banner of the movement becomes not, 'let's free everybody from indoctrination' but rather, 'we are the only ones who are allowed to indoctrinate -- and everybody will be indoctrinated in our views,'" Budziszewski said. "Those views do not include the Ten Commandments -- needless to say -- and they do not include acknowledgement of the God who is the source of moral law, who is the law-giver, the Divine legislator." So, that, he says, becomes a real problem.
******* Budziszewski says unlike a classical liberalism -- which espoused liberty and the freedom of speech -- today's modern liberalism has become a sort of soft totalitarianism because it wants to make the liberal viewpoint be the only one heard in the public arena.
******* "Classical liberalism was supposed to believe in liberty, and including the liberty to speak," Budziszewski said, "but in the modern form that liberalism has taken, it becomes almost kind of a 'soft totalitarianism' in that it wants to deny everybody -- except liberals -- the right to speak."
