New South Wales families with kids now have an assurance: The Board of Studies will not tolerate discrimination against LGBTI students in private schools.
In response to calls from the Independent Sydney MP Alex Greenwich to ensure a non-discrimination policy stands in private schools, Education Minister Adrian Piccoli said in NSW Parliament’s Question Time today that complaints by LGBTI and other vulnerable students will be investigated.
Any school not providing a safe and inclusive education environment for all students could potentially be deregistered, he added. moreIt's a step in the right direction. Surely soon the law must be changed in NSW that exempts religious institutions from the discrimination laws that the rest of Australia must live under. Why should religion be used as an excuse to discriminate? The law where these exemptions come from was made way the fuck back in 1977 FFS!
Of course arch enemy Fred Nile, the Christian, is dead against any state interference in private schools. He also personalizes the argument by releasing this:
It's shows that they have no argument when they attack the person and not the legislation.
