Tell Education Ministers: Stop Teaching Gender Ideology to Our Children.
Parents Have the Right to Say No.
In Melbourne, 37 parents of five-year-olds have just asked their school for the right to opt-out. Their children were enrolled in a unit called "Gender and Identity". When parents asked to pull them out, at least one was told there is no opt-out.
The lessons are part of Victoria's "Respectful Relationships" program, which the Department of Education says is compulsory in every government school. Parents say the material tells teachers to explain to five-year-olds that some people feel they did not get "a good match for their body parts".
Similar programs are operating or being developed in other states and territories. Children are being introduced to gender ideology, and parents are being shut out of the conversation.
No parent should be forced to hand a five-year-old over to an ideology that denies biological reality. Parents, not the Department, are their children's first educators.
Sign the petition and tell every Education Minister: Stop teaching gender ideology under the banner of "Respectful Relationships". Let parents say no!
Yes, I'll sign this petition
Dear Education Ministers,
Parents, not the State, are the first educators of their children. Please stop teaching gender ideology to children in our schools under the banner of "Respectful Relationships", or under any other name. Until you do, guarantee every parent the right to withdraw their child, without penalty, from any lesson on sex, sexuality or gender identity, and publish every teaching resource so parents can see exactly what is being taught.
With concerned regards,
