A Melbourne secondary school is refusing to broadcast a year 12 student’s film about same-sex attraction because it is not in line with Catholic values.
Catholic schools educate 20.9 per cent of Victorian students and 20 per cent of Australians call themselves Catholic.A Melbourne secondary school is refusing to screen a year 12 student’s film about same-sex attraction because it is not in line with Catholic values. “I believe it’s an act of discrimination,” she said. “All I want them to do is change their minds, so I can be included with my classmates.”
Tayler said the school had warned her it would probably not broadcast a queer film, but she was perplexed the school nonetheless approved the project.“I thought they would be OK with it,” she said. “I thought we had gotten past that, but obviously not after hearing the news last Thursday.” Professor Tiffany Jones of the Macquarie School of Education said there was sometimes a disconnect between Catholic schools and their communities.
