Christians would rather move than hear evolution
'They have to obey the law in educating their kids,' official says
Fifteen Christian families from a tiny community of only about 1,300 people are making plans to leave their homes and work behind so that their children will not be forced by the Canadian government to attend "sanctioned" schools where evolution is taught….
"It's kind of sad because we enjoy the community, we have friends and we have good rapport with our neighbors," said Ronald Goossen, 56, who in the 1990s was among the first Mennonites from
"But when they threaten to take our children and put them in foster homes, that's beyond what we can accept," he said. …
The Mennonites, whose forefathers broke away from the reforms of Martin Luther because they were not radical enough and adopted several distinctive practices including adult baptism, established their own school in the community a few years after they arrived. Last year eight children were enrolled in grades 1-7, and this year 11 students were expected.
Children are taught reading, writing, math, science, geography, social sciences and music, as well as English and French.
But they didn't use the government-mandated curriculum that includes the teachings of evolution, and other subjects to which parents objected. So authorities warned the parents they would face legal proceedings if their children were not enrolled in "sanctioned" schools this fall.
Goossen said the 30 parents and children in families who would be endangered will move immediately; the rest of the group will follow shortly later.
