VANCOUVER, July 2 (LSN) – A group of pro-gay teachers in B.C. have taken the Surrey School Board to the province’s Supreme Court to contest a move to ban certain pro-gay books from elementary-junior school libraries. The board banned a handful of books following pressure by parents, who argued that parents should have some control over what their children are exposed to in school, and also that books covering gay and lesbian relationships should not be used in classrooms. The books included titles such as “Asha’s Mums,”“Belinda’s Bouquet,” and “One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dads, Blue Dads.”  Joseph Arvay, lawyer for the pro-gay teachers, argued Tuesday the school board’s actions amounted to “segregation” akin to the separation of blacks and whites in the American South, in that it would make “gay” students feel “alienated.” Last spring, the Surrey school board voted to forbid James Chamberlain from teaching from using the books in his kindergarten and grade one classes.
