Scott Morrison\u2019s bill does not remove discrimination against LGBTQ+ kids, it opens the door to even more discrimination, say the Australian Greens.
\n\u201cThis bill is a Trojan horse that will expand discrimination against LGBTQ+ students, not remove it,\u201d said Senator Janet Rice, Australian Greens LGBTIQ+ spokesperson.
\n\u201cThis bill allows schools to bully, exclude or even refuse to teach LGBTQ+ students. It is unacceptable.\u201d
\n\u201cDiscrimination against LGBTIQ+ young people is dangerous. We know that LGBTIQ+ young people experience far worse mental health than their peers, and it\u2019s often because of discrimination.\u201d
\n\u201cDiscrimination has no place in schools. Full stop. No ifs. No buts.\u201d
\n\u201cThe Prime Minister is out of touch with Australians, three quarters of whom want our schools to be discrimination-free zones.\u201d
\n\u201cIt\u2019s a complete backflip from the Prime Minister who promised in October to remove discrimination in schools. Now he is entrenching and expanding it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
