(AgapePress) - A public school board in Ontario, Canada, has drafted a policy proposal which bans the belief that male-female sexual relations are superior to homosexuality.

The policy developed by the Bluewater District School Board would ban so-called "heterosexism," which the board defines as "the assumption that everyone is heterosexual." Among other things, the policy would forbid a school from insisting that prom dates are heterosexual.

Brian Rushfeldt is executive director of the Canada Family Action Coalition. He says there is currently a strong push by homosexual activists in Canada, and the momentum is absolutely phenomenal.

"They now have most of the governments agreeing with them," Rushfeldt says. "In fact, we just [had] a couple of recent rulings from our Supreme Court that have been very anti-religious, pro-homosexual. So I'm not surprised to see the homosexual community starting to try and push their way into the school districts like that with those kinds of policies."

The controversial policy is being reviewed by school-parent councils before final approval in March. Rushfeldt has some advice for moms and dads involved in that review process.

"I think parents have to start considering the very significant aspect of the sexual behavior that is involved with homosexuality -- that it's not just a lifestyle," he says. "They need to start looking at the facts that don't want to be talked about that are associated with sodomy -- health facts, health risks, the psychological harm that it often will cause human beings."

Rushfeldt says every parent needs to make some serious inquiries and a serious decision about whether they want their children in a secular school system.
