TORONTO - Some religious leaders say Ontario's new anti-bullying legislation will force teachers to violate their faith and will try to indoctrinate kids with a sexualized agenda.
Christian, Jewish and Muslim representatives joined together to condemn the Liberal's new anti-bullying bill, even though they all agree bullying must be stopped.
They say the bill requires schools to have gay clubs and to teach young children there are six different genders, part of what they say is an agenda driven by gay activists, not parents.
Charles McVetty of the Institute for Canadian Values says Premier Dalton McGuinty is using the problem of bullying to advance "his radical sex education agenda."
McVetty, who led the fight against the Liberals' last attempt to update Ontario's sex ed curriculum, says the same policy is back inside the new bill.
The religious activists predict there will be a mass exodus of kids from the public and separate school systems if the anti-bullying bill with its sexual accommodation provisions is not amended.
