What the petition asks
Initiate a formal review of how gender identity and LGBT content is introduced and taught in state-funded schools.
This should look at age-appropriateness in the delivery of such content, aligned with children’s developmental stages & educational guidelines.
We also want this review to look at mandating that parents & guardians are consulted prior to the inclusion of such topics in the curriculum, and expanded rights to withdraw their child from all sessions deemed not suitable.
We want development of balanced educational content.
