PARENTS CAN'T TRUST LEFTIST TEACHERS

The major party of the Left in Australia -- the Labor Party -- has had enough political savvy to disown this action after the event but you can be sure that nothing would have been said or done without a big protest from parents. I gather that the play celebrates transvestism and transsexuality


"The Liberal Party has seized on the screenplay to the hit Australian movie The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert as evidence that Labor governments would not protect school values. The controversial play was withdrawn from Morayfield High School in Caboolture Shire on Friday after parents' complaints. Federal Member for Longman, Mal Brough, said that foul language, an incest scene and other "disgusting" behaviour in the play had no place in schools. "The Labor Party talks about schools maintaining values ... but the reality is they are doing altogether another thing when they are in charge of the system here in Queensland,' Mr Brough said.

State Education Minister Anna Bligh said the play had not been reviewed or approved by Education Queensland, and was not part of any syllabus. "It is not suitable for students and should not have been used as a study tool," she said. Federal Opposition education spokeswoman Jenny Macklin also said that if was not in the syllabus, it should not have been studied."
