Hundreds of Albany residents have voted to restrict children accessing to sex education books in the city's library.
Motions calling for a regional WA city to restrict sex education books at its public library have been voted on by 400 electors in Albany .Calls to restrict a series of sex education books have been endorsed by electors in one of Western Australia's largest regional cities amid what an LGBTQI advocacy group has labelled a sign of "moral panic".
Debate on the motions came in the wake of a widely-circulated petition in the community that argued that the city must act against "the promotion of sexualising children … through unrestricted books in the town library". "It's not quite the book burning of 1933 Germany, but it is the thin end of the wedge," Kevin McCreton said.
"Providing them with vetted, accurate resources through the library helps them ensure they receive correct and useful guidance."The petition – signed by 362 people – that triggered the meeting was put together by a group which calls itself Keeping Children Safe Albany .
