Standing Up for Parents' and Teachers' Rights

Who are B.C. Parents and Teachers for Life?

We are a group of parents, teachers, and other concerned residents of British Columbia who have a common interest in the education of youth. We seek to promote a positive attitude towards human life and to have schools support universally applicable principles of morality. We recognize the rights of parents as the prime educators of their children. We share with other pro-life organizations a commitment to use only non-violent methods in the pursuit of our objectives.

Our Purposes

Our purposes are: to promote a positive attitude towards human life, to support the legitimate rights of parents as the prime educators of their children to determine the nature of their children's education, to seek to have schools supportive of universally applicable principles of morality, to seek to have teachers' organizations refrain from the promotion of abortion and euthanasia, and to promote freedom of conscience and justice for teachers in the public work-place. We have an on-going commitment to use only non-violent methods in the pursuit of our organization's objectives.

A Short History of B.C. Parents and Teachers for Life

British Columbia Teachers for Life got started about 1985 as an informal group of teachers drawn together by their attitude of respect for human life and their concern about the issue of teachers' organizations officially supporting abortion. After operating for some years with a steering committee, we organized on a more formal basis in 1990. We have expressed our support for freedom of conscience for teachers whose dues are used to support anti-life policies, for parents whose rights are threatened by the permission of pro-abortion counselling in schools, and for students who are given pro-abortion messages instead of being challenged to show respect for life. We believe schools should support universally applicable principles of morality. We have opposed the introduction of school programs that would promote a favourable attitude towards homosexual behaviour. In March of 1998, in recognition of parent support, and in view of the fact that we are supporting parents' rights, we became "British Columbia Parents and Teachers for Life."
