A range of school policies promote gender education. Perhaps most disturbing are those which promote secrets from parents – against all child safeguarding principles.
Mature Minor Policy – Victoria
The Department recognises that parents and carers play an invaluable role in supporting a child’s learning and wellbeing through being actively informed and involved from the early years through adolescence. Notwithstanding this, for a variety of reasons students under the age of 18 years sometimes ask to make decisions on their own behalf without the involvement of their parents or carers. For example, engaging with a health practitioner or allied health professional or going on an excursion.
Comment: This means a Principal or other professional can judge a child of 14 as being competent at making their own decisions about most things including their sex or gender identity. A child can change their name, insist on using different pronouns (eg: from him to her), and dress as their desired sex. They can then use the toilets and change rooms of their desired sex. The school does NOT have to tell the parents. The child can effectively lead a double life. With the wrong advice from ‘gender specialists’, they can move to puberty blockers and hormones leading to surgery.
