This is what happens when deluded morons are placed in positions of power.

Warrnambool school sorry for making boys stand in apology for 'behaviours of their gender'


The principal of a Warrnambool secondary school says asking male students to stand "as a symbolic gesture of apology for the behaviours of their gender" at assembly was inappropriate.

Key points:
  • Warrnambool's Brauer College concedes events at an assembly addressing sexual assault and harassment were "inappropriate"
  • Male students were asked to stand "as a symbolic gesture of apology for the behaviours of their gender"
  • The school principal has apologised and parents are being directly contacted by the school
Brauer College principal Jane Boyle apologised after conceding a discussion about sexual assault and harassment at a school assembly took an inappropriate turn.

Ms Boyle said in a statement that during a discussion about sexual assault, harassment, and respect for women and girls, boys were asked to stand "as a symbolic gesture of apology for the behaviours of their gender that have hurt or offended girls and women".


The issue came to light after parents, unhappy with the way the assembly played out, aired their views on social media and contacted the school.

Some parents said their children had found the assembly confronting, while others backed the school's attempt to address the topics of sexual harassment and assault with students.

It is understood a second assembly was held to address some of the concerns raised after Wednesday's school gathering.

"Schools play an important role in the promotion of safety and respect of all students, and discussions in schools around respect towards women and girls are a key part of this work," Ms Boyle said.

WOW, this USA type madness is starting to invade Australia, is this not a prime example of racism/bigotry, talk about tarring one group ie. white males(and children at that) with the same brush, utter madness.

Yes - definitely over the top but it’s not the norm is it? Nobody with any clout is seriously suggesting this is a good idea are they?


A school principal did.

How about you give your thoughts?
I agree with you, its over the top.
But I disagree, that its not the norm.
Happened at my sons school, all the boys were called out as mysoginists because a few probably giggled amonst them selves during asmbley on international womens day.
 
Did the school principal just assume their gender?
You know what we need? Little badges so the authorities can be sure nobody makes a mistake. Stars and triangles and the like. Kids like colourful shapes, don't they?

I can't see that this teacher was trying to persecute people. It was a dumb thing to do.
This "woke" (for lack of a better term) , has penetrated all forms of government organizations.
They are indoctrinating children rather then teaching them to think. And Definately persecuting those that disagree.

Just let them be kids
That includes keeping score when playing sport - most kids do it anyway even if you take away a scoreboard

Yep, need the labels. Winners, losers, boys, girls. That sort of thing. Then the world will be OK.

What's your solution - remove genders and scores?

No way. Kids scoring is a beautiful, creative exercise :D

"I wasn't ready!"

"You're out! Who agrees he's out? ... WHAT? I'm not playing any more!"

"We ARE doing super goals!"
