Phanto, as long as we also don't subject our kids in primary schools to other people's agendas either, such as the current public school use of religious Chaplains that could spread their own superstitious religious views to vulnerable children, then I would agree we shouldn't allow too much education of values that should be taught by parents at home.

Of course, especially in high schools, the recommended biology or human biology classes re human reproduction and development should continue.
I believe that high school age children should be given a more thorough education re sexuality issues to prepare them for life after school. Many parents don't give their teenagers the correct information, if any.

Suseonline,

You are in 'de Nile' (denial), as you so often are. You have posted in threads where this has been mentioned before, but here again to assist your short term memory problems,

"Safe Schools activist Roz Ward raises ‘red flag’
Safe Schools Coalition ­Vic­toria co-founder Roz Ward has also conceded the Safe Schools Coalition program is part of a broader Marxist strategy to change society.

Ms Ward is a La Trobe University academic who moonlights as a writer for Red Flag, the publication of the Socialist Alternative, a Trotskyite self-des­cribed Marxist organisation that has become a dominant force among university radicals and the broad-left ­activist movement"

Oh yawn Onthebeach....I have absolutely nil interest in old dead Russians or their ideas, or those who still hang onto the past revolutions of a communist country.

Anyone belonging to a dodgy fringe organisation, like your mate Roz does, is of no interest to me either, regardless of what uni she belongs to!
I still don't believe any public school brings in a transgender person to meet grade 3 students and discuss their brand of sexuality in detail.....

It's hard to reconcile a royal commission into child sex offences over the past several decades on one hand and on the other hand government funded programmes sexualising young children now. What is going on? Why are parents not rallying together and making use of their UN sanctioned parental rights and demanding to speak with principals to withdraw this harmful program? Teaching kids about homosexuality, encouraging them to role play gay people and watch porn including gay porn is absolutely outrageous. "Safe" Schools and Building Better Relationships sound lovely but they are nasty programmes hurting children. The sexual rights movement is hyper aggressive and harmful. It needs to be resisted for the sake of children.

WillM "...encouraging them to role play gay people and watch porn including gay porn is absolutely outrageous. "

OMG WillM, please tell us which schools, exactly, did what you suggest?
If you can't, then we will assume you are lying.

The reason why there aren't many thousands of parents around the country ranting and raving about the Safe Schools Program is because there is nothing wrong with it....unless you are a homophobe and a bigot. Most parents know what is right and what is wrong for their kids

The hysteria surrounding Safe Schools is becoming hilarious.

First, we have teachers dragging in transvestites from The Cross and The Valley, still drunk and swaying, with a lazy eye, five o’clock shadows and a fags hanging out of their mouths (Because, let’s face it, that was the imagery that you were going for, wasn’t it JoM?). Now they’re encouraging kids to watch porn. But not just any porn, GAY porn as well. *Gasp* Because it wouldn’t have been quite so bad if they were only encouraging straight porn, would it?

The first claim is concerning and the second is hypocritical.

The first claim is concerning because it portrays transgender people as vermin who need to be tucked away, hidden from civilised society. Someone in the ‘30s and ‘40s may have come up with a different solution. While I would find it a bit of an odd thing to do if my kids’ teachers brought a transvestite hobo into the classroom, I wouldn’t be overly concerned, because I don’t see them as vermin, just people who were mentally born a different sex to what they are physically, and - in the case of JoM’s imagery - could perhaps do with an alcohol support group.

The second claim is hypocritical not so much because conservatives appear to be the biggest consumers of porn (http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16680-porn-in-the-usa-conservatives-are-biggest-consumers), but because they’re the biggest consumers of gay porn too (http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2014/03/bible-belt-leads-the-nation-in-consumption-of-gay-porn).

Hey, not that there’s anything wrong with that. There does appear, however, to be a strong relationship between homophobia and (homo)sexual repression.

Just sayin'.
