Does Erica Stanford care about this? It is something the government should be controlling, though I am sure you have alerted the right people in government. As for funds raised on pink shirt day going to InsideOut - that is immoral in my opinion. Some years ago I was served by a young man in a furniture store that had a policy of requiring male staff to wear pink shirts on this day. The young man was quite embarrassed wearing the pink shirt and would rather not have if he had a choice - to me this is a clear example of bullying, but somehow the trans promoters never see it that way. I would say it would take a brave child to not participate in pink shirt day at their school - they would be bullied into it.
Will you publish that here? I think that showing people the letters you write helps them to understand how to write their own, if they’re not familiar with doing so. It’s also good to see the action that has been taken :-)
Hi Katrina - yes. In the article we state: "We’ve sent SchoolDocs a ‘please explain’ email - We have alerted SchoolDocs to the issues with their Inclusive policy, and we will update our readers when we get a reply."
What I was wondering was if you would publish the content of the email you sent here. I would find it interesting to see exactly what you wrote, for no other reason than I would find it interesting. Maybe that’s just me :-) If it’s not what you prefer to do, no worries.
Such important work you are doing
Thankyou!
Thank you! Please get this out to parents throughout NZ! So appreciate your encouragement
Absolutely!! 🙏🤗

Have you written to SchoolDocs to point out their misinformation?
Yes we have

We have now updated this post with links to our email sent to SchoolDocs. Thank you for the request!
Good letter. I like the last three questions.

We can do that, for sure. Will upload and add to Substack - thank you!
From what I can recall from being on a school board a year ago, that School Docs did keep us updated when changes were made to policies.
Generally that was usually legislation led, so not sure if ideology would be so transparent?
Schools also have an opt out clause if they want, and can review changes and updates.
But there is a lot of trust placed with that service provider to give the legal security to keep schools covered.
