Christian teacher: Enrolling gay kids in faith school is like buying house under flight path

Should they be excluded?“No [but] the point is it’s like me buying a house under the flight path, it’s pointless me arguing two years late that there’s too much noise, I chose to do that.”Christian educator and Family Voice Australia spokesman Greg Bondar just told @PatsKarvelas on @RNBreakfast that sending a gay student to Christian school like #Citipointe (& complaining about their ‘contract’) is like buying a house on the flight path & complaining about noise.— Louise Milligan (@Milliganreports) February 3, 2022 Interviewer Patricia Karvelas pointed out it’s usually parents who decide upon a school, not the child.
Bondar went on to say you show “every compassion to that child”, but the kid must abide by the school’s rules: “It’s the difference between what you claim to be and what you practice.”Bondar went on to shoot down numerous studies that have found LGBTQ kids face greater mental health challenges during their school years than their heterosexual peers, and are more likely to consider suicide.“That research is skewed and it’s meant to give the results that they want,” he claimed.“If a person is gay, fine, but don’t start expressing your sexuality or gender identity that is in conflict with the school’s ethos.”Related: MAGA supporters tricked into agreeing with school Bible banIn 2018, the government of Prime Minister Scott Morrison pledged to outlaw religious discrimination.
