Australia: SA schools mistakenly introduce transgender, intersex policy rejecting it as a mental health issue
A new policy for transgender
and intersex students, which includes allowing students to use the toilets of
the gender they identify with, will be in place at South Australian public
schools this year.
Under the policy, students will also be
called by their preferred name and allowed to wear the uniform of the gender
they identify with.
Education Department spokesperson Ann-Marie
Hayes said the policy was needed. But the question who says it is needed? An LGBT pressure group? The far left of Labor?
She said she believed it would benefit all
students, not just those who were transgender and intersex. Exactly how does promoting a foolish mental health issue which is now trendy help others? It only brings confusion.
Here comes the old tired argument and justification: "These
students are often more likely to be bullied or harassed because of homophobia
or transphobia."
Ms Hayes said the new policy was mandatory
for all schools. So no choice in this new immoral left leaning experiment code especially after the Victorian Safe Schools program debacle had gay porn hiding behind the policy.
"We often find that students are
really welcoming of this, and parents and principals, and really that's where
the policy started," she said. What a foolish statement.
According
to the Education Department's policy, decisions about the use of toilets and
change rooms
should be made "in consultation" with students and their families, with
safety and well being a "primary consideration".
Accommodation arrangements for transgender
and intersex students at school camps and on excursions have also been revised.
"The ideal situation will be for a student to access sleeping quarters that correspond to the student's gender identity if they choose," the document stated.
Right so the far left loonies want to put girls and boys in the same bedroom! Who is nuts here?
Independent
schools 'not looking at universal policy. Carolyn Grantskalns from the Independent
Schools Association said independent schools were not planning on implementing
a universal immoral foolish mental health idiotic policy.
