Foxy: I watched "Q and A," last night and learned for the first time about something called the "Safe Schools," program.

I don't know where you've been for the last few months Foxy but this discussion has been all over the Papers, TV & other Media for Months.

My Question is, if this is set up, Will this give the LGBT tribe a chance to bully straights? I think it will. Any opportunity to stick it to straights will be taken with the utmost fervour.

Poirot: while allowing the regressives free reign to sprout their bigotry was the order of the day...."

See, started already. What beautiful language.

Poirot: So you go around accusing fellow posters of hate and perversion,

& Just what was the above?

Paul1405: but "not of much interest" to him (George Pell) at the time. Pell couldn't have cared less.

Every time I see Pell my Gaydar goes berserk that's why.

Bazz: It seems that we are seeing a recruitment campaign for homosexuals
in disguise as an anti bullying campaign. That seems to be the sub title of all this carryon.

You are dead right Bazz & any knock back a Gay get to his/her advance will be pushed as discriminatory.

<Left falls into Queer extremists’ trap with Safe Schools program
by Jennifer Oriel
....

Consistent with neo-Marxist minority politics, the Safe Schools Coalition program has been funded on the rationale of victimhood. Ostensibly a program to counter bullying of youth who identify as lesbian, gay, intersex or transgender, it has been accepted in schools across Victoria with federal and Labor state government funding.

But the program is not simply a defence of lesbian and gay youth, basic respect, or human equality. Its co-founder Roz Ward has admitted it is part of a Marxist social change strategy. We should be worried about the change to come, given program resources include practices associated with Queer politics such as sex industry shops, chest-binding and penis-tucking.
The debate on the Safe Schools Coalition program is destructive not only to children, but to the gay community at large whose political diversity has been erased by ­activists keen to frame the issue as a battle between conservative hetero­sexuals and progressive ­homosexuals.

In reality, the debate is between those who support the right to childhood and children’s bodily dignity, the right to an education that educates, not indoctrinates, versus those who believe Marxist activism constitutes sound school curriculum.

The wealth of intellectual and political diversity among lesbian, gay and bisexual people is lost in the push to make Queer politics the public face of gay life.

Schoolchildren exposed to PC lessons in Queer politics are being robbed of a far finer legacy in the literary and artistic tradition of geniuses such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde and the Bloomsbury Group.

How much greater students’ measure of human diversity would be if schools replaced politically correct programming with that apposite hilarity of Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, or the soaring verse of Whitman’s Leaves of Grass. The best of ­humanity lies in its genius. Schools should rid the curriculum of oppressively mediocre activism and return to teaching greatness>

Isn't this Marxist sourced campaign what we used to call "The Fifth Column ?".

Dear Jayb,

I've been away for quite some time.
I had a severe fall in September 2015
and ended up with a shattered femur in
my right leg and a shattered humerus in
my left shoulder, several seizures, blood
clots, brain damage, resulting in staying in
hospitals for over 13 weeks. Then I had to
stay at the Peter James Centre for Physio
and learn to walk again. I'm still doing
physio. Its been a long haul.
I'm only starting to make progress recently.

I hope that answers your question.

Cheers.

Safe Schools was launched "by the Abbott administration" in 2014. Here's what Scott Ryan (now Minister for Vocational Education and Skills in the Turnbull administration) said at the launch:

"While a safe and supportive school environment leads to many positive impacts for students, including improved academic outcomes, increased confidence and improved attendance that is not the only reason we strive for this.
It is simply the right thing to do.
Every student has a right to feel safe at school.

Bullying and the consequent victimization and isolation of children and young people have a much higher place in the public mind than they have held previously, in regard to the workplace as well as our schools.
What was not only tolerated but in a de facto sense almost encouraged at some schools only two decades ago is now universally frowned upon.
No longer do we turn a blind eye to or dismiss what was previously viewed as a group of kids having a bit of fun picking on another.

Issues once ignored, dismissed or simply never even noticed now form a much more significant part of our agenda in education.
And bullying today has some unique aspects.
Issues that were once suppressed, such as sexuality, pose challenges that were rarely contemplated until recently.

While there are specific challenges and lessons to learn about the gender and sexuality issues you are focusing on today, I think we all benefit from reflecting on our own experience and behaviour.
I am sure we can all recall times when we have been on the receiving end, but also occasions that we look back upon and regret, when we either did not stand up for the vulnerable or thought it was fun to make someone feel smaller than us.
It is this reflection upon our own behaviour that we have developed as adults and that we seek to inculcate in our children. It is a lesson that cannot be taught or learnt too early."

The "above" my dear misguided Jayb was Poirot quoting the glorious runner Esq.....as in:

"The small part of Q&A I watched again highlighted how bigotted and rude Tony Jones, the abc and the homosexual lobby are. The constant interuptions to Mr Shelton while allowing the regressives free reign to sprout their bigotry was the order of the day. Why should we be surprised when the national broadcaster has been hijacked by social engineers and bullies. The ignorant/gullible getup crowd aslo seemed well over represented.

So you should direct your enquiry accordingly...
