Muslim parents urged to keep kids in anti-homophobia classes

Interesting article:

http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/natio...lim041117.html

Basically, a bunch of parents think that their children should be excluded from any class that dares teach tolerance towards same-sex couples and their children.

From the article: " The parents are upset that their children were shown videos during classes that depicted the feelings of children who get taunted at school because their own parents are homosexuals. The Muslim parents complained that the classes infringed on their religious beliefs. "

The education minister for the province says it best: "our public schools are there to engender respect, respect for people of different faiths and different sexual orientations."
