Parents Outraged As Aussie Kids Forced to Gay Role-play In Marxist Re-education Program (February 29, 2016)
Seriously!? 7th and 8th graders!??! 11 year olds and pre-pubescent children!?!?
A taxpayer-funded sexuality program that instructs 11-year-olds to role-play gay teenagers has been accused of crossing the line between education and advocacy in the classroom.
The controversial Safe Schools Coalition program, which teaches high school students in years 7 and 8 about sexual diversity and inclusion, is pitting religious groups against gay rights advocates.
Ostensibly an anti-bullying program {Did the proponents of the program take anti-bullying classes too?}, it takes a politically correct approach to sex education. Teachers are told it is “heterosexist’’ to refer to students as “girls and boys”. Prepubescent children are taught the meaning of terms such as “queer’’, “pansexual’’, “sister girl’’ and “trans guy’’.
Nearly 500 of Australia’s schools are using the program and Victoria has ordered all government schools to sign on by 2019.
The program’s teaching guide, All of Us, includes a role-playing lesson plan in which kids as young as 11 are told to imagine they are 16 and going out with “someone they are really into’’.
Half the students pretend they are with someone of the same sex; the others have a partner of the opposite sex. Students have to answer 10 questions including: “When you go out with a group of friends to the movies, would you feel comfortable giving your partner a hug or a kiss?’’ They also need to name four famous Australians “with the same kind of relationship as you’’.
Children are even asked to imagine losing their genitalia, in a lesson on transgender experiences. “Indicate to your students that you are talking about gender and not sex by asking them to consider what makes them female or male,’’ the teaching manual says. “Most students will mention their genitalia. Extend the discussion by asking students what it would mean in terms of their gender if they were to lose that part of themselves.’’
The manual tells children to ask people if they prefer to be known as he, she, ze or they. It states that referring to “boys and girls’’ is a form of “heterosexism’’, which assumes that everyone is, or should be, heterosexual.
“Phrases like ‘ladies and gentlemen’ or ‘boys and girls’ should be avoided,’’ it says.
The Safe Schools Coalition also promotes a book for children as young as four, The Gender Fairy, which author Jo Hirst explains is “about two transgender children who are not fluid and make the choice to socially transition.’’ Hirst wrote the book to help her young son describe his experience of being transgender.
“Only you know whether you are a boy or a girl,’’ says the Gender Fairy, who has a “non-binary gender identity’’. “Nobody can tell you. If you feel no one knows who you really are, you can tell a grown up you trust.’’
