The Victorian government thinks it knows best when it comes to children. The Premier Daniel Andrews and the Education Minister James Merlino are now forcing the implementation of the “Safe Schools” Coalition Program (SSCP) in Victorian schools without parental consent, despite a recent U-turn on the program from the federal government.
Immediate action needs to be taken to ensure that vulnerable children are protected and that parents are not pushed out of their right to be the first educators of their children.
All students deserve a safe school environment, there should be no tolerance for bullying of any kind. We all want our schools to be safe spaces for children to grow, learn about themselves and to flourish as confident and resilient individuals. The current SSCP is not the way to achieve it.
The SSCP was designed by Safe Schools Coalition Australia, a national coalition of organisations and schools to create safe and inclusive schools for students, families and staff who are same-sex attracted, intersex and/or so called “gender diverse”. The Safe Schools program was designed to protect LGBTI school students from bullying and to educate teachers and school staff about LGBTI issues. The program, however, does more than this, it pursues and teaches opinions like:
Tue Mar 1, 2016 – The PulsePolitics – U.S.
It has become a cliché to say that this year is unlike any previous election in modern history. But elections reflect more than political theater; they draw on the state of the underlying culture, which sets the boundaries of politics. In her column for the Wall Street Journal two weeks ago, former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan perfectly describes the state of the electorate – embattled, harassed, and yes, angry, but angry only because they are finally fighting back:
I close with a thought about an aspect of modern leftism that is part of the context here.
There is something increasingly unappeasable in the Left. This is something conservatives and others have come to fear, that progressives now accept no limits. We can’t just have court-ordered legalized abortion across the land, we have to have it up to the point of birth, and taxpayers have to pay for it. It’s not enough to win same-sex marriage, you’ve got to personally approve of it and if you publicly resist you’ll be ruined.

“Now we are defending ourselves from the evil; we are defending all the minorities in the region. We will do whatever is asked of us.” –Capt. Khatoon Khider
(Iraq)—Hundreds of Iraqi women who were tortured and kept as sex slaves by the Islamic State have escaped and joined the Kurdish forces to exact revenge on the terrorist group.
According to a report from Fox News, a number of the 2,000 Yazidi women who escaped ISIS after their mountain stronghold was attacked in August 2014 recently signed up to fight against the jihadist group. So far, 123 women—dubbed the “Force of Sun Ladies”—are officially fighting alongside Kurdish Peshmerga forces, while another 500, ranging in age from 17 to 37, are waiting to be trained.

Although Manny Pacquiao quickly apologized for his remarks about homosexuals, Nike dropped him like a hot potato. In contrast, Nike never dropped Tiger Woods despite the revelations of his serial adulteries, even though those led to the destruction of his marriage and worldwide public shame. Why the double standard?
Does Nike believe that it is far worse to make a passing, extremely derogatory comment about homosexuals—one for which Manny quickly apologized and asked forgiveness—than to betray one’s children and cheat on one’s wife, sleeping with a bevy of different women over a period of years (including several porn stars)?
Or could it be that, because Tiger is still worth more money, his transgressions are more forgivable?
While appearing on a local Philippines TV station, Manny said, “It’s common sense. Do you see animals mating with the same sex? Animals are better because they can distinguish male from female. If men mate with men and women mate with women they are worse than animals.”

The world’s deadliest terrorist group is not in the Middle East. It’s in Nigeria, where Islamic regime Boko Haram and other violent groups killed more than 4,000 Christians in 2015.
According to a new report released by Open Doors, the death toll in the Northern part of the country has increased by 62 percent since 2014.
A decade of violence has nearly destroyed the church, killed thousands of believers, and driven away more than 1 million.
But for the first time, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is doing something about it by endorsing a commitment to revive the church nationwide.
CAN which is comprised of Protestant, indigenous evangelical, Pentecostal and Catholic churches who believe that there is still a large Christian presence in northern Nigeria that has the potential to “unite and stand strong.”

Franklin Graham, head of international relief organization Samaritan’s Purse, visits one of the organization’s cholera treatment centers in the Cite Soleil neighborhood of Port-au-Prince, January 8, 2011.
The Rev. Franklin Graham criticized Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts and city council members who voted to pass a controversial ordinance that would allow transgender residents to use either a men’s or women’s bathroom, depending on the gender with which they identify.
“Shame on Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts and the city council members” for passing the ordinance, Graham wrote Tuesday, after the vote on the measure, which also says businesses can’t discriminate against gay, lesbian or transgender customers and applies to places of public accommodation, such as bars, restaurants, stores as well as taxis.

NEW ORLEANS (BP) — Race relations issues have not improved since the election of the first African American U.S. president, but the church can lead in modeling reconciliation, said Fred Luter Jr., immediate past president of the Southern Baptist Convention, the first African American to hold the position.
Fred Luter, former SBC president speaking on a Black History Month video, underscored a unity rooted in Jesus Christ. “Regardless of your race, regardless of what side of the track you were born on, regardless of all the things the media and society have tried to do to divide us, we can be one.”
Luter, speaking on a Black History Month video, “Answering the Call” produced by New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, said, “I really thought this nation was ready to move forward” with the historic election of Barack Obama that garnered votes from Anglos as well as diverse ethnic groups.

A terrible paradox is at work as Muslims from the Middle East keep flooding into Europe, Britain and the United States, often with material help of western countries’ respective leaders.
Why are they coming?
Simple. They are coming because the west offers things that they do not have:
MELBOURNE, Australia, February 12, 2016 (LifeSiteNews)
MELBOURNE, Australia, February 12, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – A Catholic member of Australia’s Parliament won`t be giving the keynote address to Catholic social workers as scheduled because of her public support of same-sex “marriage.”
MP Cathy McGowan was going to speak to Catholic Social Services workers from all over Australia at a conference later this month until Melbourne Archbishop Denis Hart asked that she be disinvited because of her open backing of same-sex “marriage” legislation opposed by the Church. The conference organizers complied.
Archbishop Hart’s spokesman Shane Healy told reporters, “There was no malice,” on Hart’s part, nor did he want to “in any way embarrass Cathy, but he would see with a conference such as this that the keynote speaker should be in line with Catholic teaching on that very important topic.”

“Turned away from Arab countries, increasingly unwelcome in Europe, Syrian refugees have found support, aid and assistance from the last place they could have expected: Israeli and Jewish organizations and individuals.” -Aboud Dandachi
Israel)—[Israel21c] Aboud Dandachi, a Sunni Muslim from the city of Homs now living in Istanbul, has created a website dedicated to the Israeli and Jewish organizations and people helping Syrian refugees. (Screengrab via Facebook)
The website, Thank You Am Israel, highlights the humanitarian aid being given to displaced Syrians and also refutes any reasons why Israelis and Syrians should be enemies.
“As a Syrian, I am morally obligated to ensure that the goodwill that Israelis and Jews have displayed towards my people will not be overlooked nor forgotten. The day will come when the conflict in Syria will come to an end, as all things come to an end. On that day, it is imperative that Syrians reciprocate the enormous goodwill shown towards us by Israelis and the Jewish people. Whatever supposed reasons we may have had to be adversaries is dwarfed by the compassion shown to us during our darkest days, a time when we have nothing to give back except our gratitude,” writes Dandachi in a January opinion article on his site.

Churches have shown dedication to help the Christian refugees
Charity Open Doors says there has been a spate of incidents in northern France involving Iranian Christian converts being persecuted by Iraqi Muslims.
One Iranian convert has been murdered.
“Many Christians amongst the refugees are fleeing persecution and discrimination,” said Michel Varton, director of Open Doors France.

“This unique window into the womb dispels the myth that abortions remove ‘clumps of cells,’ and instead shows that they kill real children with beating hearts and forming brains at just 3 1/2 weeks gestation.”
EDITOR’S NOTE: You’ve heard the faulty saying, “Ignorance is bliss.” There is NO bliss related to abortions. It’s so important to actually KNOW what happens with each kind of abortion procedure, and to not be ignorant; because I believe any abortion-minded person who actually takes the time to see the facts with their own eyes, will change their mind. These videos are NOT graphic, not actual ultrasound images, but animated demonstrations of what happens in each procedure–including RU486. Click here to view these videos. -Aimee Herd, BCN.
With the right to life as a major issue in 2016, pro-life investigative video producer Live Action released videos today aimed at changing the abortion debate in America. For the first time ever, a former abortionist will use medical animations to clearly depict what actually happens to a baby and her mother during an abortion.
