First of its kind survey of 2,000 parents finds 82% want to see gender and sexuality diversity topics in school curriculum
which found 82% support the teaching of gender and sexuality diversity in schools.
Chris says they felt their experiences and views were unrepresented by media discussions of parents’ opinions on the issue. NSW education minister, Sarah Mitchell, released the government’s response to the bill on Wednesday, saying it would “lead to targeted discrimination against a marginalised community which already experiences poorer mental health and wellbeing outcomes”.
“Really, up until this point, we really haven’t had large scale research that actually looked at this topic,” Ferfolja said. Ullman added that much of the discussion of parents’ opinions have been “assumptions,” with little to no previous research on their actual views. The study surveyed 2,000 parents of public school children from kindergarten to year 12, and found broad support for adding discussions of sexuality to relationships and sexual health education.
