Cops called on parent who raised alarm on transgender lessons for five year olds

A before and after school care called the cops on a parent for complaining about teaching five year olds transgenderism and pansexuality.

A Sydney parent has said that police were called on him after he raised concerns that an after-school care centre his child was attending was teaching inappropriate lessons on gender and sexuality in the name of raising a more “inclusive” generation of students.

It comes after recent outrage over a Services Australia form erased ‘mother’ and replaced it with ‘birthing parent’ on official forms.

The parent, whose child attends Roseville Kids Care which provides before and after school care to students from Roseville Primary School, said that he took issue with children as young as five being exposed to material that included radical gender theory concepts such as being “non-binary” and “pansexual” as well as children being given “pride” flags to colour in.

“I visited it and was shocked that there was a giant out-size ‘pride’ flag, it was the biggest flag in the room, far bigger than the Australian flag,” the parent who wishes to remain anonymous to protect his child’s privacy said.

“When I went in there was an entire wall describing different sexualities giving definitions of things like ‘pansexual’ and ‘lesbian’.”

“My child is five, I don’t understand what possible justification there is for exposing them to sexual identities like this.”

Photos from inside the facility show pride flags that appear to have been coloured in by students as well as a wall covered in definitions of different sexualities and gender identities including “gender fluid”, “asexual”, and “nonbinary.”

The parent also says that the centre lodged a complaint with local police as a result of his raising concerns about the program but that after receiving a phone call from a constable he was told that he had no case to answer and there would be no offence recorded.

Sydney child psychologist Clare Rowe said that the concepts were far too adult for children to grasp.

“There is this thing where we think we are raising these socially conscious global citizens by exposing children to these adult topics but they simply do not have the mental faculties to process layered, complex information.”

“It’s also a parent’s right and responsibility to answer questions and educate their children about these things.”

Dr Bella D’Abrera, Director, Foundations of Western Civilisation Program at the Institute of Public Affairs, called the centre’s activities “outrageous”, adding “Parents should be extremely concerned that they are entrusting their very young children to an after care centre which is indoctrinating them with radical gender theory.”

However Pauline O’Kane, CEO of the Network of Community Activities which represents out of school hour care facilities, defended the centre.

“It’s about raising children with inclusive attitudes,” she said, and claimed that five to 12 year olds often ask questions about subjects like transgenderisim.

“Do you shut the conversation off or do you educate and inform in a positive way so they feel like they can ask questions,” she asked, adding that the Roseville centre had been assessed by relevant authorities.

“I don’t think we should curtail childrens’ inquisitiveness, and I am sure this centre did this in a positive way,” she said.
