My child complained to me about the increasing amount of Rainbow, Transsexual and "Toxic Masculinity" material being posted around his outer Southern suburbs primary/high school.

I thought how bad could it be, so I asked him to take some photos for me so I could understand.

Well, the next day he had 20 different photos from all different classrooms.

It seemed out of control.

Further to that I found out they have a Rainbow room in the office, a Rainbow staircase, pride month in the library, wear it purple day, IDAHOBIT day, gender/homosexual display books in the library and that's what I know of.

Last time I checked a school was for reading and writing. Not a self help counselling centre full of LGBTQI/gender affirmation paraphernalia.

It seems a lot of stems from the Shine SA program.

It came to a head when the school installed a Transexual Rainbow flag pole with no consultation and conducted a ceremony asking children to attend, which he informed me most refused. “We hate it”, he said. Only 2 of the 20 odd students in his class went out for it and the teacher apparently looked very disappointed.

I was furious. Called the school to complain and got blocked by the front office staff. No one from the school leadership group called me back.

Next I find a teacher has their social media open of themselves dressing as a drag queen in sexual poses. Kids sharing it around at the school.

What the heck is going on here?!

After my complaints were ignored from the school I forced the Department for Education to intervene.

I met the Principal who fed me generic answers about inclusivity.

I stressed what is going on is out of control and where is the limit?

It's sexualisation of children and indirect sexual education of my child without my parental consent. The principal could care less about my concerns. It's scary he couldn't see my point of view whatsoever at all.

After getting nowhere, I pushed the complaint further with the Department for Education.

After investigating themselves they sent me to a policy link of gender ideology the department invented.

I asked where is the limit on Rainbow paraphernalia? Where is the policy on non government flags? Who is auditing this stuff?

Silence!

They tried to close the complaint.

The complaint is still ongoing because I keep sending more evidence stopping them from closing the complaint. However, this is not going anywhere inside the education department.

They will do absolutely nothing.

What does anyone do next when you're up against these people plastering a school with this stuff and system fully captured, fully on board?

Who are these teachers?

Will they target my child now because of my complaints against them? Are they actually dangerous ideologues?

These are all questions I need to consider going forward, I shouldn't be put in this situation. This isn't what I signed up for at the school.

These children are not being protected. Parents don't how full on it is in the school. I didn't know. Now I do, but I don't know where to go from here.....


How did it make you feel and why?

Angry 

Was there any followup with this experience?

Full system complaint, no action by the education department


What outcome do you want to happen?

Find other parents at the school who think the same as me
