National Director and NSW upper house lead candidate Lyle Shelton congratulated Western Sydney mum Celine Baumgarten for standing firm against an attempt by Ms Inman Grant to censor the internet so speech about the appropriateness of LGBTQA+ activism in primary schools could be quashed.
 
\u201cThis is a tremendous victory for Celine, for free speech and for parental rights,\u201d Mr Shelton said.
 
\u201cNo parent should be dragged through two years of litigation \u2013 at a reported cost of more than $250,000 to taxpayers \u2013 simply for expressing concern about a primary school hosting a so-called \u2018queer club\u2019 for children in Years 3 to 6.\u201d
 
Mr Shelton said there is no place for indoctrinating children into LGBTQIA+ gender-fluid and sexualised ideology in primary schools \u2013 or high schools for that matter.
 
\u201cChildren go to school to learn to read, write and count \u2013 not to be exposed to rainbow political activism or radical gender theory. Parents have every right to question what is being promoted in their local school.\u201d
 
Family First is calling on Ms Inman Grant to resign and for her to refund taxpayers.
 
\u201cA government regulator should not be weaponising taxpayer money to silence parents. The Australian people deserve a refund and a reset of the eSafety office to its core purpose \u2013 protecting children from real online harm.
 
\u201cWith elections approaching in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales, Family First is standing candidates who will fight to ensure children are protected from rainbow ideology in our schools.
 
\u201cIf elected, Family First MPs will move to safeguard parental rights, restore common sense in education policy and ensure schools focus on academic excellence \u2013 not social engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
