Yesterday in the Gold Coast Bulletin was an article claiming that teachers are "being urged to stop using terms such as husband and wife when addressing students and families under a major anti-homophobia push in NSW schools."

WHAT THE???

Apparently they also can't say "girlfriend, boyfriend or spouse".

"Schools are coming under pressure to provide lessons for gay, lesbian and transgender students and stack their libraries with books and videos covering their issues."

THIS IS RIDICULOUS. Political correctness gone absolutely nuts. I could just go on about this but anyone who still has their head screwed on the correct way and not rammed up their back sides will see my point that this is stupid. What is the world coming to?

I can see the athletics carnivals of tomorrow and I pity the poor sod who gets the marshalling job.
"13 years old persons with traditional male genitalia who are attracted to persons of female gender please line up at the 100m sprint area. 13 years old persons with male genitalia whom are attracted to other male persons please line up behind them. 13 years transgender "she-male" persons please also report to this area. 13 years persons who are bisexual and like it both ways, please line up at whichever end of the track you like as you can run in either direction as you please."

Heaven help us!!

screamin:
I must agree , these people need to get out and get a life

Austwiz:
yes, the only anti- I am is Anti-Fucking-Idiot and this sort of thing falls squarely within that category.

Thankfully I read somewhere that the teachers refused to go along with this crap (BTW, mom, dad, etc were also on the hit list!)

victitan:
Yep agree with this thread entirely. I read that article and was shocked that political correctness has been allowed to go so far. Which reminded me of watching an episode of Kingswood Country a couple of weeks ago.
There is no way that show would make it to air in the current climate of political correctness. But no one really understands satire.......do they??

Beergut:
A bit like Father Christmas school in ole Adelaide last hear where the potential Santas were strongly discouraged from saying Ho Ho Ho! (Ho is apparently a derogatory term for a female person in the good old USA; but no one in Australia knew that.) These would-be Santas were even threatened with no work contracts if they refused to comply.

Instead they were strongly encouraged to say He He He.

Fortunately the local press got hold of it and virtually made the Santa school such a laughing stock that they were forced to backpedal furiously.

But just where does all this madness end? England discourages Christmas celebrations for fear of "offending" other religions. Do any of us feel offended by various religions practicing their beliefs?

Gimme a break here.... I'm 1000% behind you Forrykook
