“If the OHRC is given control over the thoughts of our children, the next target will be private schools and parents who home school,” argued Phil Lees, the leader of the FCP. “The OHRC will quickly move to require private schools and parents who home school to teach their children curriculum that contradicts the values they work to instill in their kids at home.”

Now, how is the OHRC actually going to know what you're teaching your children at home? You could teach the OHRC's curriculum AND your own at the same time, showing your child the difference. Even if your child was required to take a test to prove you were teaching the OHRC's agenda it doesn't mean your child will be indoctrinated into thinking their way.

Here in Vermont, if a parent enrolls in the state's home study program they send in a course of study. In many cases they write up what the state wants to hear but never follow that program once it's submitted. Same goes for the year end assessment. Our public schools do have their own agenda here in the states and it is a constant battle for parents to instill their values in their children while hoping the state doesn't overshadow that. Some win and some lose the battle. Some parents enjoy playing that game with their public school. Personally, I refuse to waist my time and the precious time of my children by doing this. Unlike those parents I put my children ahead of any narcissistic game playing.
