The Australian Diocese of Parramatta has split with other Catholic leaders in responding to a new bill that would ban the discussion of “gender fluidity” in classrooms.
The bill - Education Legislation Amendment (Parental Rights) Bill 2020 - is sponsored by Mark Latham, a member of the legislative council of New South Wales (NSW). Latham is also affiliated with Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, a nationalist political party.
The legislation would remove “gender fluidity” as part of education curricula, and would mandate that schools inform parents about all discussions of gender and sexuality, as well as discussions on other matters.
Latham said that his bill aims to “re-establish the primacy of parents in shaping their children’s development and sense of identity.”
Both the Archdiocese of Sydney and Catholic Schools New South Wales, a governing body which represents all 600 Catholic schools in the state, support the legislation.
Archbishop Anthony Fisher of Sydney, vice president of the Australian bishops, said the bill upholds the primacy of parental education of children.
“We know that parents are the primary and principal educators of their children, and schools exist to support (and not supersede) this role,” he stated in a Feb. 3 Facebook post.
“Such a law shows respect for the role of parents as primary educators by giving them the right to choose whether or not their children attend these classes,” he said.
However, the Diocese of Parramatta – located in the western suburbs of Sydney – opposes the bill, saying that it runs “counter to promoting and respecting the human dignity of all.”

There is no dignity in a man dressing up in women’s’ clothes, taking female hormones, maybe chopping some body parts off, and pretending to be a woman.
Should “gender fluidity” be on any school curriculum?
Apparently the handiwork of a faggy bishop of Vietnamese extraction appointed few years ago by Bergoglio. Kyrie eleison.
Gender fluidity is when someone uses an adjective whose gender does not agree with that of the noun. A person’s sex, on the other hand, is biologically determined and unalterable.
There is no such thing as gender fluidity.
It seems these good people fail to understand the meaning of abomination. They should study up on that one.
