The compulsory attendance for every student at a girl's high school to watch a gay parenting documentary instead of their scheduled classes has made the parents see red.
As part of Wear it Purple day, all 1200 students at Burwood Girls High School, in Sydney's inner west, are required to watch a special screening of Gayby Baby during third and fourth periods this Friday, The Daily Telegraph reported.
After the movie, the girls are encouraged to show off their purple outfits at a fashion parade under a rainbow flag, with the opportunity to win a prize for the most purple student, while snacking on purple cupcakes.
But when some parents expressed their outrage after receiving the flyer informing them of the day, the school sent out a letter on Monday allowing children to sit in the library instead of watching the film if they have written requests from their parents.
The movie, written by former student Maya Newell - who grew up with two mums, tells the story of four kids who all have gay parents and are about to face adolescence.
Local presbyterian minister Mark Powell said he had been contacted by many parents who weren't happy about the event.

When Hell’s bells are silent and still and sheened with rust and glazed with frost and will summon the Damned no more. I do not say this lightly. I have a five year old entering the school system this september.
Not really news. It’s in Australia. If that happened here, I would then be more concerned. Not planning on raising a daughter in Australia nor visiting anytime soon.
allowing children to sit in the library
I’d just as soon keep my kid home that day.
Looks to me like the school is run by lesbians.
This is in Australia, but many fear it could come to America.
There must have been a man involved, somehow, a fact that the film maker would seem to gloss over.
They will NEVER STOP, NEVER. The main reason people in the US (and probably there) now ‘support’ gay marriage is because they hoped (wished) that would put all the crap they shove in our faces to end. But it will never stop.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Yes, but surely not too long till it happens here.
Well, Snark...Incoming freshmen at Duke University were given mandatory reading assignments this past summer...One book was a LGBT treatise with sexually explicit drawings on how to....
Many students refused to do the assignment...
It is ALREADY here in America...
Where they’re pushing homosexual mirage.
But they’re pushing homosexual mirage there. Sounds like homosexuals are trying to indoctrinate the children.
The demons behind homosexuality wants to induce sin in everyone.
I changed demon to demons, and forgot to change the verb, I assume demons are pushing homosexuality.
