Here are quotes from John Jevnikar on various life and family issues:
With regards to implementing sexual education programs in the Catholic schools which are contrary to Catholic teaching: "Age appropriate discussion is needed with regards to sex education. Students will discuss these topics with their peers regardless. Censorship can only lead to misinformation." [Response to CLC Questionnaire, October 12, 2010]
With regards to bringing in health personnel who will uphold Catholic Church teaching: "An informed decision requires evaluating all viewpoints. If one is confident in one's position, one should be able to defend that position or viewpoint without resorting to banning discussion or evaluation of opposing opinions. Censorship does not solve any problems." [CLC Questionnaire, October 12, 2010]
