The new religion of transgenderism in Australian schools

Image
Around the world, at least the English-speaking world , parents and politicians are under pressure to accept the scientific and moral validity of same-sex relationships and the transgender lifestyle. Fortunately, there has been a pushback from academics dismayed by the lack of academic rigor in many claims. Today we feature the main ideas of a report by University of Sydney law professor Patrick Parkinson. September 19, 2016  (MercatorNet)  — One of the biggest setbacks for same-sex marriage in Australia has been the uproar around curriculum materials produced by the national  Safe Schools Coalition  (SSCA) for children in years 7 and 8. These are supposed to stop bullying of homosexual and transgender students, but they also involve educating all students about sensitive topics, including sexual morality. Hundreds of schools, mostly government-run, have signed up. After noisy protests from parents, religious groups and politicians, the Federal Government stepped in and fo

Transgender lifestyle is a mental health issue - not a lovely life

SCIENTIFIC RESPONSE TO THE TRANSGENDER ADVOCATES Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for  Johns Hopkins Hospital  and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, said that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment, that sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder. He also reported on a new study showing that the suicide rate among transgendered people who had reassignment surgery is 20 times higher than the suicide rate among non-transgender people. Dr. McHugh further noted studies from Vanderbilt University and London’s Portman Clinic of children who had expressed transgender feelings but for whom, over time, 70%-80% “spontaneously lost those feelings.” While Hollywood, and major media such as Time magazine promote transgenderism as normal, said Dr. McHugh, these “policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the

Australia: Year 4 pupil ‘gender transitions’ at Melbourne school -and a response

Image
Australia: A Year 4 pupil at a primary school west of Melbourne is undergoing a gender transition, with the Safe Schools Coalition helping with the process at the school. Roz Ward, co-founder and head of the program in Victoria, is expected to visit the school today to hold a workshop for the ­pupil’s class, after which the pupil plans to socially change to their chosen new gender. Parents of the Year 4 class were advised of the workshop only days ago when the school sent home a letter. “Safe Schools are visiting … to assist us with the gender choice of a student who is currently transitioning,” the letter stated. “The session will include learning that considers how students can be a good friend and ally to people (of) all genders.” Several parents have expressed concerns about the way the school has handled the matter, including the lack of notice and detailed ­information about what pupils will be taught in the workshop. Transgender operations have ceased in some hospitals claimi

Australia: What Is Missing From Opposition leader Bill Shorten’s Latest Homosexual marriage Bill?

Australia: Parliament is set to spend even more time on same-sex marriage this week. Same-sex marriage bills to be introduced this week by Labor and the cross bench fail to protect ordinary Australians from the consequences of the proposed change, Australian Christian Lobby Managing Director Lyle Shelton said. While religious celebrants would not be compelled to violate their conscience and perform same gender weddings, non-religious Australians also had freedom of conscience rights which would not be protected, Mr Shelton said. “People who supply services to the wedding industry should not be fined for exercising their sincerely held beliefs about marriage,” Mr Shelton said. Parents were already concerned about same-sex marriage’s fellow traveller, the so-called “Safe Schools” program. One of the biggest consequences to flow from removing gender from marriage is teaching children at school their gender is fluid. This is already happening through the so called Safe Schools program

Being silent about Gay Marriage

One. While primary school kids are being regendered with the full approval of militants like Roz Ward, next month we will have homosexual pride month in our schools. I kid you not: https://billmuehlenberg.com/2016/09/09/they-are-coming-after-your-children/ Two. Some of the saddest stories you will ever hear (the ones the mainstream media will never share) are those of children denied a mother and a father because of homosexual activism: https://billmuehlenberg.com/2016/09/08/stop-muzzling-children/ Three. Today everyone is talking about the “right” to have a child, whether single women, homosexuals, and so on. But is there such a right? Beware the Brave New World of baby manufacture and commodification: https://billmuehlenberg.com/2016/09/06/on-the-right-to-have-children/ ​ Four. If a homosexual activist dares to speak out against the accepted homosexual orthodoxy, they will be turned on like traitors and treated accordingly: https://billmuehlenberg.com/2016/09/06/when-the-activis

Australia: Immoral disgusting LGBTI Teaching Resource Pulled From NSW Schools

Image
Australia: NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli has ordered an immoral disgusting educational tool encouraging immoral LGBTI sexual habits, methods and promoting of this immoral lifestyle in the classroom to be pulled from schools throughout the state. The official 17-page document, which is said to be based on the controversial 'Safe Schools' program, is aimed at encouraging teachers who have to ignore their own moral views to teach immoral LGBTI sex acts, gay sex websites, and other material which makes false claims about gay suicides and transgenderism healthy alternative lifestyle - whereas experts simply claim it is a mental health issue. The Minister was unaware of the resource -- despite the fact it was developed by his own department and was available online -- until it was brought to his attention by The Australian on Tuesday. "I have directed the ­department to take it down ­immediately and review the ­material and all links," Piccoli told the publicati

Australia: Adam Giles says he won't support 'sexuality' element of Safe Schools program

Northern Territory chief minister says he supports anti-bullying parts of program but not ‘grooming kids in their sexuality’ The Northern Territory chief minister, Adam Giles, has gone back on an earlier commitment to enact the Safe Schools program, saying he supported the anti-bullying measures but not those which groomed children’s sexuality. Giles had been addressing a people’s forum debate before Saturday’s election , which largely focused on how Territorians could trust either party to govern. Giles said a CLP government would not introduce the Safe Schools anti-bullying program , but at an untelevised debate organised by the NT council of social services (NTCoss) last week he and opposition leader Michael Gunner had both said they would.

Five things to know about ‘gender dysphoria’ in children

Image
“Gender dysphoria” (GD) is a condition in which a person may feel unhappy with his or her biological sex, express a desire to be the opposite sex, or even insist that he or she is of the opposite sex from what his or her genes and anatomy indicate. People who choose to adopt a “gender identity” different from their biological sex are known as “transgender.” This condition is increasingly being identified not merely in adults, but even in very young, pre-pubescent children. The American College of Pediatricians (an organization formed as an alternative to the larger and more liberal American Academy of Pediatrics), has now released an important paper on “Gender Dysphoria in Children.” It provides a significant medical and scientific counterweight to the growing ideology that demands affirmation of “transgender” identities—even in children. I encourage those interested to read the College’s press release and the full study . For those wanting a brief summary, however, here are fiv

Aussies Schools push adult gay porn

Image
The Australia Christian Lobby said news that extreme erotic material has been promoted by websites linked to by the Government-funded Safe Schools Coalition were disturbing and warranted the immediate suspension of the program in Australian schools. ACL Managing Director Lyle Shelton said the   revelations   in parliament yesterday by LNP QLD MP George Christensen that Safe Schools was directing children toward pornographic content, sex shops, sex clubs and adult communities through other websites would be of concern to the overwhelming majority of parents. “The welfare of children must come first. To have a government-sponsored website instructing children to click through to age-inappropriate websites is a failure of the government’s duty of care.  Commonwealth and State governments must immediately suspend the Safe Schools Coalition Program pending the review by Education Minister Simon Birmingham ,” Mr Shelton said. “The ACL commends Mr Christensen for bringing th

Australia: Safe schools cover for LGBT indoctrination to 11 year olds in school

Gay Couple with child (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Australian Christian Lobby spokesperson Wendy Francis today said she was disappointed that Opposition Leader, Bill Shorten , had defended the $8million taxpayer funded Safe Schools program despite revelations of the extreme nature of the content. “I’m quite certain that if Mr Shorten examined the material he would share the concerns of parents like Cella White , who withdrew her children from Frankston High School ,” Ms Francis said. “Most p arents do not want boys in the girls’ bathrooms at school or their children instructed in the harmful practices of the Minus 18 website which Safe Schools says kids must have access to.” Ms Francis said it was wrong to teach four-year-olds that “no one can tell you what gender you are,” as the Safe Schools’ promoted book the Gender Fairy teaches. “Mr Shorten has rejected a whole collection of evidence that has been unearthed by investigative journalists in the past week as well

Aussie family group stands up to LGBT program for 11-year-olds

An Australian Christian organization is warning school principals to keep out of a federally funded Safe Schools program that is pitched as anti-bullying but is actually promoting premature sexual activity and transgenderism. The Australian Christian Lobby says many of the 500 principals who have permitted the Safe Schools program into their schools "are probably not aware of what Safe Schools is really promoting and may be unwittingly acting as agents for rainbow activists." "We are in a battle for the innocence of our children," ACL spokesperson Wendy Francis told LifeSiteNews. The program, which was produced by an alliance of homosexual activist groups, is funded to the tune of $8 million by the federal government. All state governments have made it optional for each school, except for Victoria, which will require all schools to teach it by 2017. The state of Victoria provided initial funding for the Safe Schools Coalition. Coalition national dire

Is the gay bullying plague in schools a myth?

Image
Some schools have gay–straight alliances or similar groups to counter homophobia and bullying and provide support for LGBT students in school but it is a lie. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The Hon Christopher Pyne    Minister for Education    Dear Mr Pyne , I trust you, or your advisors, will give serious consideration to the medical evidence below and reconsider your decision to fund the so-called Safe Schools programme throughout Australia . The political justification for ‘Safe Schools’ programmes, or the associated ‘ Gay-Straight Alliances ’, is that there is a plague of gay-based bullying in our schools, and the only way to counter that is through celebrating homosexuality. That justification, however, is doubtful. In one  large study  comparing a thousand homosexual and heterosexual adults in the UK , published in the  British Journal of Psychiatry  in 2003, the researchers found no increase in bullying of gay men compared to heterosexual men, whether at school or sub
