It's beyond a disgrace, it's mentally harmful and very troubling.
There's many children in Australia who for whatever reason rely heavily on their local public primary and secondary schools as a source of stability, safety and normality. Some even rely upon them for more, like breakfast, clean clothes, lunches, and additional needs like toileting and getting dressed etc.
Times are difficult enough without them having to understand why their classrooms teacher comes dressed as a male one day and as a female the next. This often results in classroom disruption, particularly among the older kids who have been known to bully or ridicule their peers, simply because "said trans teacher" shows any given student extra support, or simply pays them a compliment even. " ha ha ha Nate, see even Mr Trans likes you bro." I have heard stories of younger children coming home confused and even scared that their female classroom teacher has a scary man's voice. Children are often without filters, they will call something out when it doesn't make sense to them and will struggle with pronouns such as "they, them, they're " etc , and so rather than risk offending their teacher with the wrong pronouns or attracting unwanted attention from peers , they will refrain from asking them any questions at all. Older kids often misbehave in trans teachers classrooms too, to make a point that they're not " gay" themselves and this makes it very difficult for everyone to navigate when you're trying to encourage your child to ask their teacher to assist them.
Let's be brutally honest here, kids will often bully, target and be complete a-holes when they notice something even mildly different about a fellow student. Ie a lisp, a slight disability, or are different to the general cohort in any way.
Kids will be kids, we already have behavioural problems in our schools, why on earth are we adding petrol to the fire when the department knows fine well that eventually, often sooner than later these trans teachers usually get shuttled onto the next school anyway, as soon as enough parents complain?
Our children are precious and deserve a fair go. Most of these teachers are assigned to certain schools where they think the schools community itself will comply and turn a blind eye, but they don't, not in my experience, the community continues to express outrage and this outrage and discord generally impacts on the entire school community itself, with even staff who are oposed to them being in the schools leaving their long held positions.
My daughter was advised that it wasn't appropriate for her to bring her Christian books to school as this is contrary to the schools inclusive policy, yet they employ a trans support teacher who started out at her school as a female, then changed her clothing, name and gender halfway through the school year, a support teacher who had been assigned to assisting children with disabilities with personal hygiene, dressing etc in the bathroom and aquatic centres changerooms. This same teacher wore a Gay pride shirt in the kids school photos.
She will start at her new Christian school this year.
This is just one of many reasons I will likely never vote Labor again.
Hypocrisy is bad enough, but when politics starts to impact on our kids learning, schools themselves, enough is enough!
Staff are leaving the now devalued profession in droves because they are fed up with the politics, the Education department itself.
Not the kids, and not due to wages.
They signed up to teach kids their ABCs and Numbers, not gender, race etc ideologies of the far left who are more interested in cultivating future generations of liberal ( left) voters than citizens who can think for themselves, or read and write properly.
