Australia: Safe School Coalition full of lies

-

The Safe Schools Coalition of Australia continues to promote a controversial children’s story book,The Gender Fairy, despite its author, Jo Hirst, saying it is not a “Safe Schools” resource.

Ms Hirst told Channel 10’s The Project last night: “People like Lyle Shelton have used it against Safe Schools saying that it’s a Safe Schools resource, which it’s clearly not.”

Australian Christian Lobby Managing Director Lyle Shelton said: “The comments made on Channel 10’s The Project last night which suggested that the Gender Fairy was ‘totally unrelated to Safe Schools’ is untrue.

“The Safe Schools website promotes the controversial book and encourages students and parents to ensure the book is made available in their school library,” Mr Shelton said.

“Safe Schools is advocating and promoting contested gender theory to children as young as four through its promotion of The Gender Fairy.

“Ms Hirst collaborated with the now suspended Safe Schools co-founder Roz Ward in preparing the story book’s accompanying parent and teacher notes.

“Why is the Safe Schools Coalition in the business of promoting a book for toddlers and providing guidance notes for parents and teachers?

“By targeting toddler Safe Schools is going against the directive of Federal Education Minister Simon Birmingham that the resource could only be available in High Schools and only after permission was given by parents.”

Mr Shelton said “Safe Schools” has previously denied other contentious material was promoted by the program only to be ordered to stop by Mr Birmingham.



“Safe Schools have a history of denying that contentious material is promoted to children by the program,” Mr Shelton said.

A Catholic school board in Ontario will vote next week on a motion to fly the rainbow-colored homosexual pride flag at all board-run schools during the month of June. Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) Trustee Brenda Agnew gave notice of her motion titled “supporting our diverse school community” during an April 6 board meeting. Quoting Pope Francis along with LGBT talking points about “equity and inclusion,” the motion calls for the Board’s Director of Education Pat Daly to “direct all HCDSB schools including the Catholic Education Centre to fly the Pride flag during the month of June starting with 2021.” The motion is expected to be voted on by the Board at their next meeting on April 20. With nine trustees, the motion requires five votes to pass. A tied vote results in a fail. The HCDSB states on its website that its mission is to provide “excellence in Catholic education by developing Christ-centred individuals enabled to transform society.” The Catholic Church, basing i

DENVER, CO ,  – A Colorado board has ruled that a Christian business owner must make wedding cakes for homosexual "marriages" despite his religious objections. Business owner Jack Phillips came under legal fire in 2012, when he refused to bake a cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig , who had traveled to Massachusetts for a marriage license, and wanted to celebrate in their home state. They sued on the basis of a state law that prevents the application of religious beliefs if one owns a business. The Commission's ruling, which was issued verbally on Friday, orders Phillips to report every three months for the next two years on anti-discrimination training for his staff, and any customers who are refused service at his establishment. "I can believe anything I want, but if I'm going to do business here, I'd ought to not discriminate against people," said one of the Civil Rights Commission 's seven members in a public statement.

Australia: Gay Hate tribunals are coming

Are Hate Tribunals Are Coming In Canada , it is considered discriminatory to say that marriage is between a man and a woman or that every child should know and be raised by his or her biological married parents.  It is not just politically incorrect in Canada to say so; you can be saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, fined, and forced to take sensitivity training. Anyone who is offended by something you have said or written can make a complaint to the Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals. In Canada, these organizations police speech, penalizing citizens for any expression deemed in opposition to particular sexual behaviors or protected groups identified under “sexual orientation.” It takes only one complaint against a person to be brought before the tribunal, costing the defendant tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The commissions have the power to enter private residences and remove all items pertinent to their investigations, checking fo
