Education minister stubbornly oversees safe schools information blackout : Comments

By Greg Donnelly, published 16/12/2016

Up until early July this year mums and dads could go to the Safe Schools Coalition Australia website and see if the school they sent their children to was a participant in the program.

Dear SM,

This was not forced on anybody.
And your statement that most private
schools have refused this program is wrong.

As a matter of fact prestigious private schools like -

Carey Baptist Grammar, Methodist Ladies College,
Ruyton Girl's School, Ivanhoe Girl's Grammar,
Fintona Girl's School, Geelong Grammar, Camberwell Grammar,
Presbyterian Ladies College, Scotch College, Trinity Grammar,
Kingswood College, Sholem Aleichem College, St Leonard's
College, Macquarie Grammar, Mentone Grammar, Melbourne
Girl's College, New England Girl's School, are just some
of the many who have opted for the Safe Schools program.
It appears that the parents and principals at those prestigious
schools did not have the problems that you claim.

It shall be interesting to see whether this national
program funded by the Australian government will be cut
in the future

Dear Peter,

It shall be interesting to see what develops in the
future regarding this program. Because obviously
there are many schools and principals who feel that their
students will benefit from it and there are quite a few
politicians on both sides of government who also
support the program.

Hi Foxy,

it is one of the better government initiatives of recent times; too long have kids had to live with the pain and stress of gender confusion and more importantly, the insults and taunts due to lack of understanding of their peers.

Dear Peter,

I totally agree as do so many parents,
principals, schools, both private and
government, politicians, and people from all walks
of life, including Christopher Pyne. who strongly supports
this program.

Foxy,

Most private schools did not take up this initiative, and those that did taught a deeply sanitized version of the twaddle that was first proposed.

I have no doubt that this misadventure will not have its funding continued in 2017, certainly not in anything like the form it is in today.

Dear SM,

I've given you a list of some of the most prestigious private
schools that have taken up the full program.
As to what the future holds? We shall have to simply wait
and see.
