Australia: Gay ideology taught in school - parents can opt out

Image
The Australian Christian Lobby has welcomed as a good “first step”, news that the NSW Government will give parents the right to “opt in” to the controversial Safe Schools program. ACL New South Wales Director Mark Makowiecki said it was good to see the NSW Government requiring its Education Department to implement recommendations from the Federal Government ’s review into Safe Schools. “The Safe Schools Coalition has been thumbing its nose at the recommendations of the Louden review that was called by Federal Education Minister Simon Birmingham after deep concerns were raised with the gender idealogy in Safe Schools,” Mr Makowiecki said. “We expect all State Governments to implement the recommendations that give parents the right to determine if their children should take part in the program which teaches children their gender is fluid. “In July, the NSW Government took away the rights of parents to know which schools are running the program, making the list secret. “The fact ...

Only Choice - pull kids from School that promotes LGBT ideology

Image
The Australian Christian Lobby welcomes news that the NSW government is considering an “opt-in” option for parents regarding the Safe Schools program following a debate in the Parliament yesterday. However, ACL NSW Director Mark Makowiecki said the move only practically applied to one aspect of the program, namely the controversial “ All of Us ” lessons. “What has been widely misunderstood by politicians and pundits is the fact that Safe Schools adopts a ‘whole-of-school’ approach, meaning that LGBTIQA themes are not taught in stand-alone lessons, but are woven into the curriculum and propagated through policies, posters and school assemblies ,” Mr Makowiecki said. “This fundamental misapprehension was evident in some of the speeches given yesterday in the NSW Parliament , as a 17,000 signature petition calling for the abolition of the Safe Schools program was being debated. “The “whole-of-school” approach is made clear, particularly in an early edition of the  ...

Australia: Gender fluidity theory false

Image
The Chinese community petition against the so-called Safe Schools program is to be debated Thursday in the NSW Parliament, prompting the Australian Christian Lobby to call on parents to fill the Assembly’s public gallery in a show of parental concern. The petition, signed by 17,000 people is scheduled to be debated at 3:30pm. ACL ’s NSW Director, Mark Makowiecki said the petition was a demonstration of the ground-swell of concern about the gender ideology prevalent in Safe Schools.  “For two years the Safe Schools program has had a free pass in New South Wales , but the community is beginning to realise the dangerous contested gender theory that it promotes,” Mr Makowiecki said. He took the opportunity to warn parents that Safe Schools and same sex marriage are part of the same package deal.  “If the gender requirement is removed from marriage via changes to the Marriage Act , anti-discrimination laws will be leveraged to ensure that Safe Schools-style se...

Australia: Safe Schools content pornograhic

Image
A PUPIL at a northern beaches school was left “violated” after being asked to analyse sex scenarios of fictional middle-aged people as part of a personal development lesson. The girls were asked to categorise a number of examples of sexual behaviours of middle-aged fictional characters, including “Joseph”, a middle-aged married man who fantasises only about men but talks negatively about homosexuals, although he is attracted to other males. Another involves a promiscuous heterosexual woman, “Zarita”, who has multiple sexual partners during her 16-year marriage. And “Philip” was a further example — he started having sex with adult men as an adolescent. The material, a teaching resource from the NSW Education Department available to all state schools, was brought to the attention of a P & C committee member at Northern Beaches Secondary College , Mackellar Girls campus , who took it to principal Christine Del Gallo. While Ms Del Gallo was reluctant to comment she said she had “...

Gender theory a matter of faith’, says family law expert

Image
A leading family law and child-protection expert has criticised the teaching of radical gender theory in classrooms across the country, likening the “odd and unscientific” beliefs promoted by groups such as the Safe Schools Coalition to those espoused by Scientology . Sydney University law profes­sor Patrick Parkinson has called for an extensive overhaul of the Safe Schools program, having taken issue with its ­promotion of “exaggerated statistics” on the prevalence of transgender and intersex conditions in the community to support its creators’ “belief that gender is fluid and can even be chosen”. In a research paper to be published today, Professor Parkinson notes that gender ideology, which lies at the heart of Safe Schools, has become a widespread belief system, particularly in Western countries . With its origins in university philosophy departments rather than science, it has no place in the primary or secondary school curriculum, which is required to be evidence-based,...

Sage Schools Coalition - cover for LGBT agenda

Image
Over 30 Qld schools have opted in to use the resources, including 5 primary schools and 7 P-12 schools , despite our Education Minister assuring the Parliament that the resources would only be made available to secondary schools . I have commenced a Qld Parliament petition – not calling for the program to be scrapped – but for an inquiry into the appropriateness of the materials and for the Qld schools who are using the resources to be made public as in other states, so that parents can know what their children will be being taught. Would you be happy to circulate the petition to your church folk for their consideration? It is a Qld Government epetition so has no link to any organisation or political party.  The link is here http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/work-of-assembly/petitions/e-petition?PetNum=2552     Thank you very much for your consideration of this. I believe that God would want us to do everything we can to protect the innocence of our chi...

Gayby Baby: promotes same-sex marriage agenda - a deadly disease movie for kids

Image
Gay and lesbian groups have said the New South Wales Government is sending a message of intolerance by stopping a documentary on same-sex parenting from being shown in public schools. Churches have said the video is dangerous to the health of children. "The film, Gayby Baby, chronicles four children who have gay parents and how they navigate their way through life. It seeks to support the homosexual agenda and present all is well in the gay LGBT camp. Yet the reality is the LGBT community are intolerant of those who do not accept their view" It was to be the centrepiece of a campaign to indoctrinate schoolchildren about same-sex families as part of Wear it Purple Day on Friday , and has prompted backlash among normal families and parents. "Schools are where children go to study, they don't expect to see propaganda films promoting the homosexual lifestyle or same-sex relationships, especially while we're having a big debate over same-sex marria...

Should young Australian kids be learning about the sin of homosexual sex?

The Australian Christian Lobby is demanding the Queensland Government cease supporting a school based anti-bullying program for gay, intersex and gender diverse children, accusing it of promoting "radical sexual experimentation", by encouraging the acceptance of gender and sexual diverse children. The Safe Schools Coalition Australia program was made available to Queensland schools from the start of the second semester this year. The federally-funded program, which is also available in Victoria, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania , is not compulsory, with principals able to choose whether or not their school could benefit from it. Building on a Victorian model, SSCA, which has been approved by the federal education department as a resource, addresses homophobia and transphobia within schools and is designed to make the school environment "more inclusive for same-sex attracted, intersex and gender diverse young people". ACL's Que...

Should homosexual criminal charges be dropped?

Image
Homosexuality is defined in the Bible as a sin. In the minds of many people, it is still a sin that God will punish. In the minds of secular people it is a wholesome choice. But it was a crime, when the law stated that homosexuality was against nature and the community and was a deviant behaviour. Nothing has changed, except for liberals they see homosexuality as something good and all charges should be lifted.  Homosexual advocates are calling for gay sex convictions to be abolished nationally, saying people who were convicted before the act was decriminalised are still suffering because of their criminal record. It comes as the Victorian government announced yesterday it would erase convictions for sex between two consenting adult males. The state will introduce laws this year that will provide men with the opportunity to have the convictions wiped from their record. The decriminalisation of gay sex in Australia began in the 1970s, with Tasmania the last state to ...
