I wonder what’s next on the agenda for our country’s liberals and leftists! Maybe the Dutch model!
Gay activists win fight for ‘social justice’ class
Human rights complaint dropped as part of deal with government

The provincial government has agreed to include gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered issues in school curriculums to settle a long-standing human rights complaint filed by a Vancouver couple.Under the terms of the settlement reached with Murray and Peter Corren this week, the Ministry of Education and Ministry of the Attorney-General agreed to launch a review of the entire B.C. curriculum to ensure that classroom discussions around diversity include sexual orientation and gender identity issues, as well as race, ethnicity and gender equality. In return, the Correns will drop a complaint they filed with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal in 1999 alleging systemic sexual discrimination in B.C. classrooms.
Murray Corren, a Coquitlam teacher, declined to divulge all the details of the settlement, which is expected to be announced today by the provincial government. However, he said both he and Peter are “very happy” with the terms reached.
[…] Corren said the settlement will also make it more difficult for students and parents to opt out of course lessons that address topics pertaining to sexual orientation and gender identity.
[…] [Attorney-General Wally] Oppal’s ministry was involved in shaping the new social justice course, which he described as “progressive.”
