TORONTO, Ontario, January 27, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The controversial Ontario Human Rights Commission has signaled their “takeover” of the province’s education sector, a development that could threaten private schools and homeschoolers, said the Family Coalition Party of Ontario (FCP) today.

“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 instil in their kids at home.”

The FCP’s concerns are based upon the OHRC’s role as a dominant player at a major Ontario Ministry of Education conference on equity and inclusive education this week. Every school board in the province, Catholic and public, sent a delegation including a trustee, principal, parent, student trustee, and administrator.

The conference, entitled “Deepening the Understanding…Widening the Response: Equity and Inclusive Education Part II,” was held on January 26-27 at the Sheraton Hotel in Toronto, and was designed to promote the implementation of the government’s mandatory equity and inclusive education strategy.

The conference program notes that the OHRC “is working with school boards” on the strategy and will “offer details about the work the OHRC is doing to create a policy on human rights in our schools.” Barbara Hall, the OHRC’s chief commissioner, gave an opening address and OHRC members delivered two workshops, one on “human rights and student discipline” and another on “competing human rights claims.”
