TORONTO, Ontario, January 31, 2012 (lifesitenews.com) – After Ontario’s Catholic trustees took a strong stand against homosexual activism in a new anti-bullying plan last week, Ontario’s government has slammed the plan for failing to allow for single-issue clubs for homosexual students.
"We’ve been absolutely crystal clear that we expect students to participate in groups and have the issues important to them talked about," Education Minister Laurel Broten told the Catholic Register’s Deborah Gyapong on Monday.
In a Jan. 25th document titled Respecting Differences, the Ontario Catholic School Trustees Association (OCSTA) established a framework for student-led clubs to combat bullying related to racism, gender, disability, and sexual orientation.
