Alan Yoshioka objects to new policy

Bless you, my friend.

At a meeting of the Toronto Catholic school board last night a large crowd of parents took issue with board officials who were proposing a draft ‘equity’ policy.

One of the speakers who spoke on behalf of concerned parents, Alan Yoshioka, said he was himself a former homosexual activist. “I am a former gay activist, five years or more. I disagree with your treating the legitimate need for respect for all students with this imposition of a policy and groups that focus on sexual orientation,” he said.

“Love and respect for students is fine. [The issue is] how is that going to be implemented?” A Catholic school policy that contradicts Catholic teachings “is not acceptable,” he said to loud applause, according to the Catholic Register.
