The Australian Christian Lobby says there is a place for a values-
based program in schools. (ABC News)

A Christian group has been banned from ACT schools while allegations
about its practices are investigated by the Education Department.
Focus on the Family has been accused of vilifying homosexuality, and
preaching religion to students without parental consent.
A spokesman for Education Minister Andrew Barr says the government
launched the investigation after a complaint made by a parent at a
Canberra high school.
The spokesman says the group had also run programs in five other
schools, although no other complaints have been made.
The Australian Christian Lobby has attacked the investigation saying
there is a place for a values-based program in schools, which covers
issues like marriage and abstinence, as well as the dangers of
pornography.
It is not known how long the investigation will take.
