plus 14,100 signatories
As public concern
about the controversial Safe Schools Coalition program continues to grow,
an open letter to the Prime Minister, signed by 14,100
Australians, was handed to Malcolm Turnbull yesterday (17
February).
FamilyVoice Australia
supporter Nathan Harding made the presentation at an afternoon tea in Brisbane’s
north, organised by Liberal MP for Petrie, Luke Howarth.
Mr Harding handed the
PM the presentation pack, which explains that the “Safe Schools Coalition”
program is primarily about politics and ideology, not bullying.
“The Prime Minister
was happy to shake my hand, but he would not hold the presentation pack for the
photo,” Mr Harding said. “He said he needed to read the letter
first.”
Deputy Prime Minister
Warren Truss received a similar presentation on 27 January, saying he was aware
of parental concerns about the Safe Schools Coalition program.

The 14,100 signatories
to the open letter said they
deplored bullying – but the Safe Schools Coalition program ignores the most
common forms (based on appearance, ability, ethnicity) and has actually led to
the bullying of students who do not support the program’s political
agenda.
The signatories are
asking Mr Turnbull to cancel funding for the Safe Schools Coalition program and
instead support programs that address all forms of bullying. <저작권자 ⓒ christianreview 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
