Press Statement In Response To Stuff Article 7 May 2023https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/300867924/awful-and-targeted-librarians-teachers-fear-bitter-culture-wars-reaching-nzResist Gender Education (RGE) objects in the strongest terms to our group being named in the above Stuff report about harassment and threats against teachers, librarians, trans people and their allies, and the implication that we have participated in such behaviour. Teaching children anything else is scientifically false and psychologically damaging. Bullying of children because they are different is completely unacceptable but there are better ways to counter that than teaching children magical thinking. There is no scientific evidence whatsoever that everyone has a gender identity known only to themselves. Our objection to Pride activities is because they are now mostly about teaching gender identity ideology, not about accepting others’ differences.
