Homosexuality test in Ontario Catholic school religion class - What are we doing?

Dear Roger Lawler, I’d like to raise your attention on the article published in LifeSiteNews.com and which text I enclose below after my signature. Peace is not the absence of war but the recognition and reign of the truth, to come out of confusion and to embrace love, forgiveness and humility. As controversial as this might sound, it is not by ‘exposing’ our children to doubts, what will bring the truth, but by stating the truth supporting it with facts.

Whatever the intention is behind these ‘tests’, it is nothing but confusion what they generate among the children, most particularly those who are just starting to find realities about their own growth. No, not about their ‘homosexuality’, because the truth is that there is an evil out there which bring this word; homosexuality as some sort of crusade towards a new revelation, when the truth about it is that that plight for tolerance is nothing but one of blind acceptance, not allowing any reasoning on what is being ‘accepted’, let alone ‘tolerated’. The Catholic Church as the body of Christ, teaches all to love everyone, and Jesus actually was seen with sinners because as He said were the sick ones the ones requiring attention. This is then not homophobia, and it is not a matter of mannerisms or deviations, but about sin, and nobody is born with the gene of sin, with a gene that forces them to engage into sodomy just because they are born that way. There is nothing genetic about sin in general or sodomy in particular. For that matter, there is nothing genetically carried in adultery, or any other sin against chastity, or about ‘needing’ to tempt other people in the name of ‘sexual pleasure’ or ‘sexual satisfaction’. We are born with all the features to enjoy sex, but we too have the self control and will power to know as human beings with dignity, as created to God’s image and likeness; what we naturally need to do or unnaturally not do. Sex is not an end in life but the beginning of life and it is an integral part of love in marriage, in the only possible way, the union of one man and one woman so the pleasure is not just in the moment of sexual engagement but in a life full of love, for better or worse, under health or sickness until God set them apart. It is very disturbing to observe how the people we parents trust to be custodian of our children education, please let me repeat that word once more, ‘education’; seem to surrender before the pressures of the media, government and the world and so easily distort that wonderful word into confusing the minds most precious, those of our children by imposing these indoctrination into ‘accepting’ sin via what they, our children will see only as a way to be themselves be ‘accepted’ by our increasingly corrupted and degraded ‘society’. The history of the Church and before that, the Old Testament give us many examples as precise guidelines about what we children of God, should do to deal with the pressures of the world and its ‘conditions to be accepted’ and nowhere it is stated that we should bend backwards to ‘accommodate’ to sin in order to gain ‘acceptance’ more on the contrary, the blood of the martyrs and their sacrifice have left clear detail on the way to deal with the fear of controversy or that of not doing as we are told by the most corrupt monarchs and leaders. Our focus is to be Jesus and His word and thereby the only truth, the absolute one. Loving our enemies is not ‘accepting’ what they do, but bringing the truth to them so that they can too, join the Kingdom of Heaven. If you find difficult to find the strength and courage required to fulfill your role in protecting our children, please try praying, focus on Christ and His example and ask Him for what is required to confront the forces of evil by abandoning these ‘tests’ and anything else it is ‘suggested’ by media, government or else, and bring peace by embracing the truth and protect our children from evil..
