I completely agree with Foxy, as someone who actually studied medicine! I understand sexual bias , be it normal or naturally occurring aberration, is not something that can be altered or imposed by inculcation or practise!

But, and the Gay community will hate me for reporting this; may be altered by a little known, little studied medical procedure? Pioneered in Scotland nearly half a century ago, that turned a convicted peadophile from buggering small boys into a normal married man with wife and children.

The judge on seeing him for the third time, issued an ultimatum. Prison for the term of your natural life or participate in experimental medicine as the guinea pig. Reportedly a hair thin wire was inserted into the basal ganglia, and into the inappropriately active sex control centres; and with a tiny tiny current, burnt the gender inappropriate ones out? At last reports, never more content or happier with his lot as a normal husband and dad?

Also widely reported, is the case of the womanising, alpha male rugby player, who sustained a serious upper neck injury, in a scrum? A few years ago?

Apparently a small shard of broken bone was forced into the basal ganglia and damaged the normal for a male, sexual control centres, effectively destroying the male appropriate sexual bias control centres in the bottom of the brain, in the process?

It took around 12 months for the (plastic) brain to adapt to the new and strange impulses, that completely turned this big burly, alpha male, into a meek and mild hairdresser, with a new same sex attraction controlling all his sexual urges and attraction?

Given it was widely reported in every daily newspaper, I don't expect the usual homophobes commenting here, will do more than label it as BS, put the blindfold back on and continue to spew the verbal vomit they claim as civilised and INFORMED debate!

BRING ON THE NEXT ELECTION, AND JUDGEMENT DAY! Alan B.

Dear AC,

The Safe Schools Coalition Australia is a National
Program funded by the Australian Government. It is
not about indoctrinating anyone. It's aim is to
create a positive culture and create a safe
environment for every child at school. Teen suicide
should be a concern for us all. Every child deserves
a safe school environment.

The Coalition consists of young people, teachers,
principals, schools, youth organisations, parents
and governments. The Foundation has developed and works with
state and territory education providers to implement
the program. Schools, teachers, young people and their
families have access to resources and support to help
them deal with the challenge of discrimination against
their children and to create safer and more inclusive
environments.

An Independent review of the Safe Schools Australia
program has been undertaken by the Department of
Education and Training on 26 Feb. 2016. It was completed
I believe around 21st March 2016.

It examined whether the program resources were age
appropriate, educationally sound and aligned to the
Australian Curriculum. It also examined the extent
to which parents and school communities are
consulted about the use of these resources.

Professor Bill Louden led the independent review.
Professor Louden is Emeritus Professor of Education at
the University of Western Australia. He was Senior Deputy
Vice-Chancellor at the University of WA from 2009-2013 and
Dean of Education from 2006-2008. The results of the
independent review are available online.

Foxy,

Of course safe schools is about indoctrination. That less than 5% of kids are not straight and a fair portion of those have not yet come out, does not justify a fact free gender reorientation course for the entire school.

If this was about bullying, they would do far better to address the multiple forms of bullying that take place rather than focussing on a tiny interest group.

Dear SM,

Obviously young people, teachers, principals, schools, youth
organisations, parents, and governments don't agree with
you. These are people who want to create a positive
culture of diversity and inclusivity and create a safe
environment for every child at school. You call it
"indoctrination," the Department of Education and
Training calls it education.

Foxy,

As this was forced on principals, given the huge parent driven outcry, and the refusal of most private schools to take up the program, the evidence is against you. The sacking of Roz Ward and removal of La trobe from the program is also an indicator of the odium of which it is held.

Secondly, the principles that it uses i.e. gender fluidity are ideologically driven and have no foundation in research exposes its purely political agenda. Given that on average only one child per class will be not heterosexual, where is the bullying program for the other 25 odd students?

The funding for this program will end shortly and so too will their silly agenda.

Foxy,

You are wasting your time responding to SM. He/she has incomprehensible logic; conflates 1 non heterosexual child in a class of 25 as somehow bullying the other 24 because the class is encouraged to discuss the issues. Wow.

It is unlikely that none of the rabid complainers here have read the Safe Schools curriculum but feel that any discussion of sexual differences is somehow indoctrination.

They would rather have the Judaeo/Christian indoctrination to start the class on the path to clerical pederasty. At least they don;t have to understand big words!
