- Hi Henry -
-
- At first I thought your site was somewhat radical, but
what I have just seen has proven me wrong and you right!
-
- In Australia, they are making it illegal for teachers
at school to use the word husband and wife as it is politically incorrect!
This is shocking it seems you are right, they appoint as you state "dupes
and moral whores" to high positions. The person in charge of this
is the general secretary for education, Michael Coutts Trotter a former
heroin dealer! thats right a former heroin dealer and user becomes general
secretary for education!

- Teachers Told To Avoid Using Homophobic Terms
- By Bruce McDougall
- April 17, 2008 12:05pm The Daily Telegraph
-
-
- * Anti-homophobia push underway in NSW schools * 'Husband'
and 'wife' both on banned words list * Move shows value of diversity, education
boss says
-
- TEACHERS are being urged to stop using terms such as
husband and wife when addressing students or families under a major anti-homophobia
push in schools.
-
- The terms boyfriend, girlfriend and spouse are also on
the banned list - to be replaced by the generic "partner" - in
changes sought by the gay lobby aimed at reducing discrimination in classrooms.
-
- The Daily Telegraph has revealed NSW schools are being
pressured to provide lessons for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender
students and stack their libraries with books and videos covering their
issues.
-
- Among the demands are the outlawing of homophobic comments
by teachers or students in the playground and a requirement for teachers
to receive "diversity training".
-
- Education Director-General Michael Coutts-Trotter emerged
yesterday as a leader of the anti-homophobia campaign, opening a Government-backed
conference on sexual diversity - That's So Gay.
-
- The Federation of Parents and Citizens' Associations
also weighed into the debate, calling for "appropriate literacy materials
promoting diversity in families".
-
- The radical shake-up means that families with two mums
or two dads will likely be accepted as a normal part of school communities.
-
- Mr Coutts-Trotter said public schools had a responsibility
to include children from same-sex couples and forbid any kind of discrimination.
-
- "Happy families come in all shapes and sizes,"
he said.
-
- "We value diversity and include everyone in the
life of the school ... meeting the bare legal requirement is not enough.
-
- "Public education has a responsibility to include
... to strive to make all feel welcome."
-
- Mr Coutts-Trotter said he was aware some teenagers felt,
"lonely and abandoned as they come to terms with their sexuality".
-
- He said leadership from students in public and independent
schools was an important weapon to support those facing discrimination
and "combat homophobia".
-
- "Our schools should be sanctuaries (for students)."
-
- The NSW Department of Education and Training said any
attempt to stop same-sex partners from attending a school formal in NSW
- as controversially occurred in Queensland - was likely to breach anti-discrimination
laws.
-
- The Daily Telegraph also found that the department is
already spearheading a major push to win acceptance for gay and lesbian
students in public schools.
-
- "Teaching about sexual diversity, tolerance and
anti-bullying occurs through the personal development, health and physical
education (PDHPE) curriculum in all NSW schools - public and independent,"
the spokesman said.
-
- "In Years 7 and 8 students learn about bullying,
including anti-homophobia. This is reinforced in Years 9 and 10 in anti-discrimination
topics in the curriculum."
-
- "Same-sex attraction issues" are included in
students' lessons on relationships, diversity and discrimination.
-
- A 25-hour course, mandatory for Year 11 and 12 students
in government schools, examines "issues relating to sexuality and
sexual diversity".
-
- Debate over books used to teach young children about
gay lifestyles has been a hot issue in the past.
-
- Two years ago argument became heated over a push to have
books such as Jed and His Dads and The Rainbow Cubbyhouse taught in Sydney
daycare centres.
-
- Yesterday, the Australian Association of National Advertisers
announced major changes to its code of conduct banning future advertisements
for kids' products from including sexual imagery or implying that children
- classed as 14 or under - are sexual beings.
