“For goodness sake, this is social engineering gone crazy…
Leave kids alone to be kids. Stop trying to destroy kids’ childhoods…”
That is an example of the furious reaction from parents in Victoria, Australia where the local city council has announced plans to audit children’s books and toys with a plan to ban them from kindergartens, schools and libraries if they don’t meet strict gender guidelines.

The Herald Sun reports that the local government’s justice warriors were inspired by research from the Australian National University that showed children were influenced by gender stereotyping, and urged a ban on the terms ‘boy’ and ‘girl’.
The research suggests educators should “minimise the extent to which gender is labelled” and avoid telling children what girls and boys should do.
Parents reacted angrily to the story on social media…
“This needs to stop. I’ve got a two-year-old daughter (yes I picked her gender based on what genitals she was born with) and she plays with cars, trains, tractors, Barbies, dolls and uses her imagination and pretends she’s cooking food or being a doctor…
Let’s just let kids be kids.”
Billie Deborah Chin wrote:
“Banning the availability of anything, or taking choice away, is definitely the wrong way to go about making classrooms gender neutral. It should be about making everything available to everyone.”
We leave it to Ron Wilson from Smooth FM, who told Sunrise “it’s about inclusion, not exclusion” but that it’s important “boys are boys and girls are girls”.
“I wouldn’t be banning things, but I would be including more things for everybody to be involved in. When you’ve got kids, you suddenly realise that boys are boys and girls are girls and viva la difference. I don’t want to see androgyny out there.
“I don’t want to see our children just being children. The fact (is) they are boys and girls and they are different and there’s no question about that. We should celebrate that...
I think we need respect. We don’t need social engineering.”
Following the uproar generated by the report, Melbourne City Council very quickly responded…
“Our libraries aim to promote diversity, not censor books,” adding that “none of the books mentioned in media reports have been banned. The books mentioned are in stock at City Library.”
So Winnie The Pooh and Thomas The Tank Engine are safe…for now.
Llpoh – do something!
Big Chief Squats To Piss suddenly feels more Australian than he ever has.
Flash- I read recently that Bobby Dylan was making the first (man-to-man) love song. What do you think about that?
Australia like the UK is so screwed in the head, it’s almost stupefying. Loopey will find there is no big advantage to Oz in the end. Not that this place is any better.
BL – you ever been here? Life here is far, far better here than in the US. Will it last? Who knows. But we control our borders, have massive natural resources, have a higher participation rate than the US, better medical care system, low level of student loans, low crime rate, low murder rate, etc.
How does the US compare on those measures?
I just hope we do not get invaded. No place is perfect.
How you guys doing on fat chicks? Hopefully not awash in them.
Llpoh- Like I told you before, the Chinks are colonizing Oz so it doesn’t matter what your crime rates may be nor the lack of student loans. Fortunately for you folks, the Chinese don’t go for gender bending and can certainly tell the difference between males and females. They are buying up your land and shipping their people in by the boat loads.
Meanwhile here in Merika, the Chinese are now the largest landowners in this country with 28 MILLION acres, 45% of our food supply etc., etc. John Q. Dumbass American is clueless so we are no better off.
He won’t do anything until Australia bans the word “injun”.
Hey Stucky, I saw on Drudge today that gas in NYC is up to $5 per gallon. I figure JooJersey is about the same price? The last E-Class I owned got 27 MPG, what are you getting in yours?
The article also said the price per gallon up there in Yankeeland is set to go even higher. I’m sure they will bend us over also, bastards.
“Hey Stucky, I saw on Drudge today that gas in NYC is up to $5 per gallon. I figure JooJersey is about the same price? The last E-Class I owned got 27 MPG, what are you getting in yours?” —–BL
Saw the article in the NY Post. That is NOT the average in NYC. It’s one gas station in an area of Hells Kitchen, and the gas station owner claims excessive taxes, rents, etc. … and that he’s barely staying afloat. I think the city wide average is four bucks and change.
Filled up the tank earlier this week, regular gas ….. $3.01 cash …. $3.11 credit
Mileage depends on the E-Class engines. The E220 is a 2.2 liter four cylinder which gets the mileage you do. I have the E500 (5 liter) and if I do mostly highway driving, I’ll get about 20mpg …. 15mpg city driving. Plus, I can only use premium gas. Good thing I don’t drive much!
Stucky- I had a E420 small block V-8 and I got 27MPG. Looked good as it had the AMG sport package on it, black on black.
It’s the Nopalitos, CA effect; one moron in a town of 3 does something and the entire state gets smeared.
It’s a tiny town (pop. 3) near Needles where the old man is the Justice of the Peace, maw is the municipal treasurer and sonny boy is the local cop who runs a speed trap on I-40.
This is fucked up!
They’re trying to eliminate places for white Americans to retreat to as their own nation is lost. New Zealand is next.
And now we find that the purple haired harpys are doing away with dates for the prom. You let the retards into the education system and now you have to suffer the consequences. As is pointed out above, you need to pay attention and you need to start doing something. So what can you do? Well, I have made it my goal in life to flag every single purple haired harpy video as offensive. Sooner of later it has to have an effect. If nothing else, I am forcing some purple haired harpy at google to spend some time reviewing the video. If you all did the same thing maybe we could clog up the system so badly that it can’t function at all.
Come on ladies…stop bitching about what’s gone wrong and start fixing it.
Burning the books will not solve Australia’s problem. Go ahead and nip all the peckers and balls off the male mutants at birth; that’s what the Feminist really want. Then let massively hung Negros into Australia and with their insatiable animal appetites to satisfy the Feminist. Then maybe the rest of Australians can catch a break.
We’re past the point where whining to the imaginary authority about this insanity is of any use. The ‘people’ in positions of authority want us dead. If you want this crap to change, you’re going to have to wade through rivers of blood in the streets.
“you’re going to have to wade through rivers of blood in the streets.”
Oh c’mon, that’s stupid. Get a canoe, or an inflatable boat. Or stay at the 2nd floor level, and cross directly from building to building, and in trees as needed.
Wow. Fake news. Headline reads “Australia”. In fact it is a whackjob local city council. City of Melbourne council it seems, which despite the name is not especially large, and is staffed and run by far left shit for brains. And fact is it is not happening. Guess you morons have not heard of San Francisco, hmmm. Sort out your own left wing shitholes first, then maybe you got some room to comment on ours.
Here s an idea, all of you dickheads running around like a mad woman pissing – what say you do something about the good old USA!USA! and the transgenders in the wrong bathrooms, or the sanctuary cities, or the crime rate, or the corruption in the American government? Nah, you are all talk and no action.
I kid you not, Australia is a damn paradise next to what is happening in the US.
Good luck on that giving up your guns thing. Think I’ll pass.
Regarding this gender stuff; this is conversation for adults. Keep the kids out of it until they reach puberty…they have enough distractions these dates and we don’t need to create insecurities in them.
More fake news. I got guns. All my neighbors got guns. Once again, USAUSA idiots show their ignorance.
LLPOH, it may be a trial balloon to see if we will bite. It’s the old ‘Everybody’s doing It’ excuse. You find this kind of malarkey everyday. If somebody in Nopalitos, California (pop. 3) does something outlandish like walk around naked in the desert, the screamers run down Interstate 40 – “Look what they’re doing in California now!!!!”

Hmm. Where would you rather live, where the median wealth per adult is $56k, or $195k?
Where murder rate is 5 per 100k, or 1?
Get a clue, folks.
All that health & happiness makes you weak.
Where do those numbers come from? And if you stay away from the ghetto and barrio, the US murder rate is minuscule, much less than 1…
Where do I get the numbers? I lok them up. Try it, you will like it.
And so what you are saying is that only the safe places are part of the US. Right, got it.
So, the average Ausie, is wealthier, safer, more secure and happier than the average American. But hey, USA! USA!
What a bunch of maroons.
Congratulations, you have been trolled again! Admin puts up shit like this just to piss you off, lol
Z- pissed off? Hardly. Just interesting to see how blinkered Americans are, and that they think theirs is the greatest show on earth. The US has insurmountable problems, as does much of the world. But anyone who thinks the US is superior to Oz, because USAUSA! really is not aware of the many, many areas where Oz is far in front re quality of life.
LLPOH, everywhere you go, it seems the media has managed to enclose the population into cubicles so that every state, county or precinct is blinkered with their own imprinted set of prejudices.
Mental boxes within boxes courtesy of the media. This allows us to hold two opposite ideas at the same time –> in the national box, I believe in individual freedom; in the neighborhood box, I believe in calling the cops on my neighbor because he is a transgender, black, open borders, Starbucks free-wifi aficionado.

I like the land down under. My cousin lived there for 15 years from 1980ish until 1995, when his kids were old enough to go to college. Their mother insisted on their coming back to Virginia for higher education. In hindsight, I think they all wish they’d stayed in the Land Down Under.
Maggie, your starting to sound like KeisterSoice; you have a story for every occasion.
I can see it now…

You think I’m joking but take a look at what is being taught and put together as curriculum in California

Where in California, Boron? Those guys are morons.
