Josephus,

Is this Gordon also a Greek Orthodox Priest that goes by the name of Belmore?

You guys are a riot.

Utterly shocking, Josephus,

It looks as the female teacher was using the kids to arouse her with their stories and would be completely wet once they've done their homework.
Even if this homework was not mandated by the "safe-school" curriculum, it provided her with an excuse to get what she wanted.

But there are ways around: If I were in place of this child, then this would be my chosen male celebrity: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-02/gorilla-harambe-at-cincinnati-zoo/7469480

Gordon Belmore the Greek Orthodox Priest? Doesn't sound like a very Greek name to me. The gentleman in question is the Very Rev. Eusebios Pantanassiotis.

"Father Eusebios, the Abbot of the Pantanassa Greek Orthodox Monastery, told some of the families at a forum in Belmore last month of the confusion and anxiety the new sex education classes are creating for children.

“From first-hand experience as confessor … I’ve been confronted with many examples that have given me the drive to ask you to join us to do something about this …

“I had a 13-year-old child come to me who tells me he’s been told to go home and find a picture of a male celebrity on the internet and explain to the entire class why he is sexually attracted to that male and he says to the teacher ‘I can’t do this’ and she removes him from the classroom.”"

Fr. Eusebios, as a priest, would be well aware that things he is told during confession are confidential and that he is not permitted to divulge them. For a priest, making up stories about confessions you've never actually heard is nowhere near as bad as revealing real confessions. So I think the good Father may have been telling porkies. Shocking, I know.

Why Josephus has chosen to falsely attribute this quote to his imaginary friend Gordon is beyond my ken. It's as if he thinks we don't know how to google stuff and that he won't get caught out lying through his teeth.

Poirot,

As the safe school site has now been largely sanitized much of the original material and links have been removed, though Victoria still wants to use it.

Here are some gems:

"There are lots of different components that make up your sexuality. You can be attracted to a whole spectrum of masculinity, femininity, both or even none. Your feelings, behaviours and identity aren't always the same.
If the example below was a girl they might identify as a lesbian. If they were a boy they might identify as straight."

"We each have our own unique identity, or way we think and feel about ourselves. There are three in particular that help us build our identity; the sex we were assigned at birth, our gender identity, and our sexual identity. Gender isn't quite as simple as whether you're 'male' or 'female'. Everyone has their own gender identity in relation to masculinity and femininity. Some identify with both, and some don't identify with either; it's up to the individual to describe what gender identity fits them best."

"Around 1.7% of the population is intersex. This means that around 1 person in 60 are intersex."

All of the above is rubbish, for > 90% of the population gender identity and attraction is firmly linked to their DNA, and only about 3% of the population leaving school identifies as anything other than straight. To claim that everyone is in a different place on the spectrum is complete BS.

Toni Lavis,

It just goes to show how many people this quote is being attributed to.

I don't believe alleged incident even happened. Nor do I believe that the majority of horror stories coming from the hysteria surrounding the Safe Schools saga ever happened.

I think there's a bit of a 'Lying for Jesus' factor playing a role here.
