girls expected to go with boys in toilet buddy system...

Recently, my young son who is in grade 1, revealed that his teacher gave them the choice of choosing a boy or girl to accompany them to the toilet.

I asked him a few questions and realised he didn’t think it was unusual to 'mix it up' when you go to the toilet.

We found out that when picking a 'toilet' partner at school, the kids could pick a boy or girl- and the chosen kid had to go.

When we tried to complain (especially on behalf of girls), we got shut down by the teacher and told it was the child’s choice who they took irrespective of gender!!!

3yr old gender theory behind parent's backs as 'anti-sexism'.

Without our knowledge or consent, our boy's 3 year old kinder was part of a program last year called 'Exploring gender in the early years'.

The first we were aware of it was when he noticed another boy going into the kinder wearing a tutu and pointed it out to my wife.

My wife said it was a bit strange- and he took offence and said no way, it was fine because his kinder teacher said it was fine and that they had been reading a book about it. He even had a little ditty/chant that they had learnt off by heart about it.

Only after all this, were we invited to a webinar about what they had already taught the children.

They made it sound like it was all about stereotypes, but we worked out from our son that it all about gender identity theory.

sexism alive and well

I am a former special education teacher working with intellectually disabled students.

Despite many of these children not having the cognitive capacity to read, write their own names or do basic arithmetic, our schools have been told we must spend incredible amounts of time implementing the “Respectful Relationships” curriculum.

This means teaching feminist concepts around “gender” roles to students. It is done very badly, for example, the priority is making them 'look at sex stereotypes' in fairy tales - instead of focusing first and foremost on teaching them how to read said fairytales!

Sadly, many of the boys in particular have internalised the message that they’re bad just because they’re boys in response to this curriculum because cognitively that’s all they’re taking from it.

And then the transgender materials actually depend on sexist stereotypes to explain the concept of 'gender identity'- so a boy knows he has a 'female gender identity' because he has always 'like girly things' and 'being with girls' etc.

Either way, the kids are getting taught sexism!
