Burwood Girls High School: Anger over gay parenting documentary ‘Gayby Baby’
PARENTS are angry that a prominent government high school had organised for its 1200 students to watch a documentary on gay parenting instead of normal classes.
Burwood Girls High School sent a flyer to parents last week saying all students would attend a special screening of the documentary Gayby Baby during periods two and three on Friday. Students were instructed to wear purple, with purple cupcakes served after the movie.
But after a backlash from parents, including outrage at the flyer which depicted a young, shirtless boy with a tattoo on his chest, principal Mia Kumar yesterday offered parents the option to exclude their daughters from the screening if they notified the school in writing.
NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli has now directed the Department of Education to ensure the film is not shown in school hours, telling 2GB Radio on Wednesday while the schools accepted diversity, “schools are not places for political issues to be aired”.
“During school hours we expect them to be doing maths and English and curriculum matters.
This movie is not part of the curriculum and that’s why I’ve made that direction,” Mr Piccoli said.
He also admitted that he hadn’t seen the film, which follows the lives of several children with same-sex parents.
"principal Mia Kumar yesterday offered parents the option to exclude their daughters from the screening if they notified the school in writing."
How dare they?
Who is pushing this relentless homosexual agenda, and why?

Ostensibly designed to stamp out homophobia, the Proud Schools program aims to eradicate the idea that heterosexuality is the norm in human relationships.
It defines such thinking as bigotry and labels it “heterosexism”.
According to the Proud Schools’ Consultation Report, “positioning heterosexuality as the norm for human relationships [is] discriminating against non-heterosexual people. Heterosexism feeds homophobia.”

So being 'normal depends on what percentage of the Australian population shares your particular makeup. How high would the percentage have to be before you stopped being abnormal (or not the norm as you now like to put it)
aboriginal people comprise only about 2,5% of the population - is that high enough to make them "normal"?

depends on where they are lol. In areas of high aboriginal population they would be the norm.
In areas of low aboriginal population, they would not be the norm.

I thought maybe they could be haters of the opposite sex and find consolation with partners of the same sex. But I find it a disturbing thought that they want to raise children, having that "hate" in the background.
Just thoughtful ramblings.........

How odd. Does a man fall in love with a woman because he hates other men? Let's hope he doesn't want to raise boy children.
