• USA: Same-Sex Marriage, Civil Rights, and the Legacy of Massive Resistance
  12 February 2014, by siawi3

  Last month, Oklahoma Representative Mike Turner announced planned legislation that would ban all marriages in the state, in response to a court decision to allow same-sex marriages in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma legislature may consider a bill to end government licensing of marriage entirely. The bill, which is part of a broader strategy to avoid same-sex unions throughout the state, calls to mind efforts by lawmakers in the 1950s to undermine federally-mandated desegregation by shutting down public schools in the American South.

  10 February 2014, by siawi3

  On 18 Dec, the Speaker of Parliament took out a 4-page ad detailing his plans for the “reformation, restoration, and modernisation” of Parliament through getting rid of various carvings, in particularly the totem pole has to go as it represents immorality, idols, and witchcraft, through “demonic masks,” carvings that “look like cannibals,” are of “eastern or African or foreign origin,” or are of “ugly figures of African (voodoo) origin.” On the same day and in the same newspaper, a number of fundamentalist Christian leaders took out a full-page ad celebrating the work of the Speaker. It was suggested to make PNG a truly Christian country, that pesky section of the Constitution regarding freedom of religion would also have to be totally redone.

  13 février 2014, par siawi3

  Avec ce document historique, on peut constater que les récents délires au sujet d’une prétendue « Théorie du genre » ne sont pas nouveaux : en 1935, les Associations Familiales Catholiques dénonçaient déjà « les petites filles transformées en garçonnes dès l’âge de treize ans » à cause de la « promiscuité qui se pratique en classe (sic) et en récréation »

• Poland is having a sexual revolution in reverse
  15 February 2014, by siawi3

  Post-communist countries have experienced of late a kind of inverted sexual revolution. The backlash sees sex education and contraception being restricted – and gay people compared to paedophiles. According to a church official, “gender ideology” is worse even than communism.

• USA: Puritanism in schools, teachers as spies abusing students’ trust
  9 November 2017, by siawi3

  Instead of trying so hard to criminalize sex, administrators should instead focus on how to teach students the concept of consent — a far bigger problem among sexually active teens than sex itself — as well as how to protect themselves from unwanted consequences.
