"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."

Apparently members of the Mennonite community in Quebec have their own schools, similar to our Amish and Mennonite communities. Children are taught the usuals, but this particular school is not following the required governmental curriculum including teaching on evolution and alternative lifestyles.

The worst part: "provincial officials have threatened the families with legal action, including the potential loss of their children to state control, if they do not abide by the mandatory education curriculum."

The Education Ministry spokesman was quoted as saying "We are not trying to prevent them from living their life the way they want, but they have to obey the law when it comes to educating their kids."

Yeah right. He might just as well have said you can believe whatever hokey, old-fashioned things you want to believe, but we the government are going to step in and teach your children what's really going on and you and your beliefs will go the way of the dinosaur. Sounds like the Canadians have been listening to Richard Dawkins.

How long do you think it'll be before we follow suit in America?
