456. What is the nature of the family in the plan of God?
The Family In God’s Plan, Catechism of the Catholic Church
A man a woman united in marriage form a family together with their children. God instituted the family and endowed it with its fundamental constitution. Marriage and the family are ordered to the good of the spouses and to the procreation and education of children. Members of the same family establish among themselves personal relationships and primary responsibilities. In Christ the family becomes the domestic church because it is a community of faith, of hope, and of charity.
Since “God instituted the family and endowed it with its fundamental constitution” only God has the Authority to change the institution of the family. “Members of the same family establish among themselves personal relationships and primary responsibilities.” It is not the place of the school to usurp God’s or the family’s authority in this manner.
The Family Life Education Curriculum Advisory Committee did not make any such recommendation. The parents and community were not consulted. The Fairfax County School Board voted to redefine the “two-parent family” to include “2 mothers” or “2 fathers” and to educate your children beginning in kindergarten with that “knowledge and attitude” as required by Social Emotional Learning. What will be next? On his re-election website, Board Member Karl Frisch, who proposed this amendment, states that he and his partner Evan “are the proud dog dads of Dexter, an energetic twelve-year-old Wheaten Terrier mix.” Will there be a need for Mr. Frisch to “clarify” the definition of “child” to include “dogs” to reflect his stated “parenthood”?
What does this change look like in the classroom?
