Woolworths SA refuses to back down from supporting Pride Month

They're coming for your kids. Wake up ****ers.

There were gay kids in my school in the 60s, a few that we knew bout. Nobody cared, not us, not them
60 years later there are still only a few, and most of them still don't care either way.

The media, and opportunist politicians like you will have us believe this is a huge demographic swathe of humanity, it's not. It's a drop in the population ocean.

But I digress.


I once queried the DA on why they had no policy on abortion or the death penalty - 'that is for the conscience of the individual'.

But wait, now you have a policy that stands for unisex school bathrooms - in a country where thousands and thousands of schools don't even have toilets?

Sure, you run a better City than the ANC (it's not that the bar is particularly high), but that's not enough for my vote.

You do so well, and almost convince us of your good intentions and rationality - then Helen sends a tweet, or there's an article suggesting you have all not taken your meds. Like this one.
 
Some points it includes to achieve better inclusion are:


– the allowance of unisex bathroom facilities

Never needed them, still don't need them. Don't be stupid.

– teachers must treat learners disclosing their sexual orientation and/or gender identity with great sensitivity and confidentiality. They are encouraged to refer the learner to a social worker, psychologist or any other organisation which deals with matters of this nature in order to facilitate counselling and assistance

A teacher is there to teach. Period.


– the possible introduction of gender-neutral uniforms and the allowance for deviations from the school’s uniform policy on cultural, medical and gender diversity grounds

Oh, just f'off.

– the creation of safe spaces and social diversity associations at schools

I repeat, a school is there to teach. Period.

Perhaps our dismal standard of education is due to creating safe spaces, and diversity clubs, and purple puff-sleeves on their blazer - and not actually doing any educating!

– the allowance that students may bring a partner of their choice to their school function/matric dance regardless of sexual orientation

Finally we can agree on something, except it is not an 'allowance', it's a right.
 
– the allowance that students may bring a partner of their choice to their school function/matric dance regardless of sexual orientation
Safety issue? I could see a 18 year old bringing a 25 year old.
 
They're coming for your kids. Wake up ****ers.
I wonder if they realize just how many voters they are going to lose to the new parties because of this.....

Maybe in some distant past schools were purely about teaching subject matter, but that must have been a very long time ago. Good teachers have always been and done more than merely teaching a subject. Children do confide in them. They then would usually refer the child to the school's guidance counsellor. Even the old Christian National Education schools had them. Even those macho dinosaur all boys schools usually had them. It's the sign of a really bad school if those involved think their job is that narrow, that it is nothing more than imparting subject matter. The good schools have always managed to at least attempt to make their charges well rounded and they've never compromised the quality of subject teaching to do so. The bad ones couldn't even manage to teach subjects.
