“We need to make sure this can never happen again. Not at Citipointe, and not in any school in Australia,” a former teacher said.
Parents from Citipointe Christian College, which sparked national uproar over its controversial enrolment contract, are lodging discrimination complaints with the Human Rights Commission.students to agree to specific gender roles and denounce homosexuality.
Janina Leo, a mother of a former student at the college, said she was heartbroken that the identity of her daughter Emmey, and others like her, would not be recognised by the school. “I had no choice but to remove my children from Citipointe as I would not sign a contract that supported discrimination against my own child and other LBGTIQ+ children.”
“As a Christian educator, my faith informs my duty of care to provide love and safety for all students. No exceptions,” she said.“The events that took place at Citipointe were in direct opposition to that calling. We need to make sure this can never happen again. Not at Citipointe, and not in any school in Australia.”“Our clients have suffered greatly due to these actions and these children will bear the scars for many years to come,” the legal service’s Matilda Alexander said.
