Children cannot consent!
We are raising awareness about parents not having access to full consent of what our children are learning in school.
Our children are learning about sexuality. Are they developmentally ready to discuss topics such as having a choice to be either a boy or a girl? Being able to socially transition without parental awareness?
During the most important developmental stages, whilst our children are physically changing, schools are teaching our children that they may be a different sex. Puberty is awkward. If we introduce concepts that we can bypass this awkwardness, we are potentially bringing harm to our children.
Puberty blockers and hormone therapy are irreversible and may cause life long issues.
What They Say
“Australian guidelines on gender-affirmative medicine lack rigour and independence and fail to recommend formal assessment processes that screen for body image problems, autism spectrum disorder, sexual orientation, or physical health conditions, according to international researchers commissioned by the UK Cass review”
“There is a battle raging over how best to care for children and young people struggling with their gender identity, with ever increasing numbers of European countries choosing to take a more cautious, less medical, approach after finding the evidence base underpinning those treatments to be wanting”.
Sign the Petition
Opt-out of Comprehensive Sexuality Education in Australian Schools
To the Education Ministers, The Hon Lucy Hood MP (SA), The Hon Di Farmer MP (QLD), The Hon Prue Car MP (NSW), The Hon Ben Carroll MP (VIC), The Hon Dr Tony Buti MLA (WA), The Hon Jane Howlett MLC (TAS), Yvette Berry MLA (ACT) and The Hon Jo Hersey MLA (NT)
We, the Undersigned Residents from Australia Request:
The removal of mandatory SOGI (Sexual Orientation Gender Identity) instruction and explicit sex instruction from school curriculums, participation learning and encouragement in activism activities. Reason:
Although each State and Territory have their own regulations that allow parents to withdraw their child from participating in sexuality education (by writing to their child’s school), parents across Australia are being told that it is mandatory.
The Respectful Relationships Education Australia (RREA) Program is targeted to children and young people from foundation to year 10 on a whole school approach. The program contains CSE (Comprehensive Sexuality Education).
CSE is not the Birds and the Bee’s education on Puberty, Human Reproduction and Sexual Health. RREA focuses on ‘sexual pleasure’ and how to be a ‘good lover’. This also has a large focus on LGBTQA+ instruction and student participation in activism.
Parents and/or Guardian/Caregivers have the right and responsibility to raise their child in accordance with their values.
This is stated in The Royal Commission into institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Recommendation 6.6, standard 3 ‘Families and communities are informed and involved; section A ‘Families have the primary responsibilities for the upbringing and development of their child and participate in decisions affecting their child.’ https://www.royalcommission.gov.au/system/files/2021-08/final_report_-_recommendations.pdf
Sexuality education should never be mandatory!
