ACU Senior Research Fellow Kevin Donnelly says it’s “shocking” teachers have been told not to tell parents their kids want to become transgender.
Mr Donnelly’s remarks come after a leaked email to teachers was obtained where they were told to keep pupils’ preferred names, pronouns and gender identity a secret from their parents.
“It’s got to a point now … where in Queensland parents are not to be told if their children want to transition or are talking about it at school,” Mr Donnelly told Sky News host Sharri Markson. “It’s shocking, parents are their primary caregivers, their primary educators, so schools have no right to do that.”
