Who is pushing this relentless homosexual agenda, and why?

Could it be that it is politics in action?

It is well known and documented that the Prime Minister is against homosexual marriage, therefore the opposition will back anything that is against the Prime Minister.

To me and to most of Australian citizens that is very obvious.

Homosexuality and Homosexual marriage is a political football, the homosexual minority are loving it, they are vying for acceptance and legitimization of their deviant behaviour.

If it is a movie made by former students, it is a bit more understandable that the school might be wanting to encourage their students to see it.

But it should be completely up to the students in out-of-school hours.

Cate Blanchett is a famous local girl. She attended two schools in the area...and has an Oscar. Her films are not made mandatory viewing.

I'll come in on this one. I'm pretty sure that my views on same sex marriage are well known here. However, I agree that this film probably isn't relevant to the school curriculum and shouldn't be shown in school hours.

Any politicising of schools and their students annoys me. I blow steam every time I see politicians (of whatever persuasion) in photo ops at schools.

Outrageous!

Apparently only a handful of parents were upset about it.

Anything where people are basically forced to show support of an idea bothers me.

They should have been able to say yes or no from the start.

Lurker having politicians visit schools is absolutely essential , it helps focus the needs within each school we have them regularly visit and discuss issue at our school , I wish we could get them there more often.

as to this movie totally in appropriate for a school , but what is even more alarming is that not only was its viewing mandatory the kids were being forced to wear purple in support of the idealism regardless of their own views this sort a fachist approach to education is not on

Not necessary or appropriate to be shown in school hours as part of the curriculum.

However......... sex education does need to be taught in schools, along with all other aspects of responsibility and well being. IMO.

Some parents have no idea how to teach it and some children fall through the cracks........ that's why we have children as young as 12 in schools, pregnant or with babies.

Regretfully, azureline**, sex education does not prevent promiscuity.
