Sex Education Experts?
Tabby Besley (InsideOut) & Tracey Clelland (Beyond The Birds & Bees) were interviewed along with Penny Marie from Let Kids Be Kids, on 1News recently about the RSE refresh.
Parent’s it’s time to wake up
The education system is no longer just teaching our kids the basics of biology in sex ed - it’s pushing a radical agenda under the guise of “sexuality education.” As Penny Marie highlights in her latest YouTube video, this isn’t about empowering kids; it’s about destabilising their identities and sidelining parents.
At Let Kids Be Kids, we’re fighting to keep childhood sacred, and we need your voice.
Penny’s video exposes how organizations like InsideOut, backed by hefty funding, have embedded gender ideology into schools. And are pushing their community to send feedback in to the RSE consultation, to keep ‘trans’ content in sex ed.
From InsideOut resources encouraging kids to transition without parental knowledge to an app developed by Tracey Clelland, university ‘expert’ Beyond the Birds and Bees - developed for 12-year-olds with graphic sexual content - these groups are bypassing parents and sexualising our children.
This isn’t education; it’s indoctrination
Comedian Tyler Fisher’s clip in the video nails it: The confusion around gender and identity is absurd, yet it’s being normalised in classrooms.
Meanwhile, advocates like Tabby Besley and Tracy Clelland claim kids need this, ignoring the parents who are horrified. The Ministry of Education even endorses these materials, while mainstream media celebrates pride parades and marginalizes common-sense voices.
Parents, Grandparents - get your voices heard
The feedback for the new Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) framework closes this Friday, May 9, 2025. This is our chance to push back. Penny urges every parent (and grandparent and teen) to submit feedback and demand that sex ed stays focused on biology, not ideology. We’re not transphobic—we just want kids to be kids, free from ideological agendas.
What You Can Do
Submit Feedback: Visit the Ministry of Education’s consultation page before May 9 and tell them to keep gender ideology out of schools.

Wonderful informative interview Penny. It certainly is a mad situation. Unfortunately because its our children involved we can't just dismiss it as mad, and that it'll come right. Meanwhile children are being damaged and possibly forever.
Thank you Penny and Steve.
