In reply to PDub. Honestly, I don't see what's so wrong with the LGBTIQ sex and gender education being taught in classrooms. I wish I knew the things people are learning today when I was in high school so I didn't have to struggle with being something I wasn't for ten years. Parents may not like it but kids are going to want to know about sex and the ever-increasing awareness of gender that comes with that. I just hope that armed with the knowledge they'll obtain, they no longer feel alienated or scared to be who they are. Parents just need to stop being so skittish about talking to children about something that will one day impact their lives.

“to protect Australian kids from being exposed to radical LGBTIQ sex and gender education in classrooms,”

What in particular is “radical” about it?

Perhaps they’d be better to use the word “icky”? I think that’s what they really mean.

As a teacher, I look forward to being asked to teach the “radical LGBTIQ sex and gender education in classrooms” – I have already begun preparing the powerpoint, and have some entertaining (if physically demanding) prac activities in mind.
