'Safe Schools' is not about bullying

'Safe Schools' is not about bullying, organiser admits!

Quote:

“We work deliberately and specifically around sexual diversity and gender diversity. Not all forms of diversity. We’re talking about sexual diversity and gender diversity. Now both of those things are not necessarily visible. You can’t look around the room and be like “You’re sexually diverse. You’re gender diverse. Whatever.” It’s not the same as saying “There’s a lot of people from different cultural backgrounds. I can see them in here.”

Not all cultural diversity is visible but there are those triggers to make you think “Are we doing stuff to make those students from different cultural backgrounds feel included?” There’s not the same triggers around sexual diversity. People can be invisible and there are schools where they say…still…we don’t necessarily work with them but we hear the stories of “But we don’t really have any gay students in our school.”

Because they’re not necessarily visible, right? So we’ve gotta think about really explicit visible cues that are very clearly about gender and sexual diversity. So we think very specific posters work really well. Very specific messages from school leadership. Very specific things within the school newsletter.

That Safe Schools Coalition is about supporting gender and sexual diversity. Not about celebrating diversity. NOT ABOUT STOPPING BULLYING. It’s about gender and sexual diversity. About same-sex attractive. About being transgender. About being lesbian, gay, bisexual – say the words – transgender, intersex. Not just “Be nice to everyone. Everyone’s great.”

"We're creating safer and more inclusive environments for homosexual, intersex and gender diverse students. It's our hope that LGBTI childrens will be bullied precisely as much as other students, but no less, because Safe Schools is not about stopping bullying. In fact, we think a bit of bullying helps thin out the herd."

-- Someone at Safe Schools, probably
