Waikanae Watch has published two photos that they found on social media: allegedly, pages from a New Zealand High School. They contain creepy and disturbing questions not only about all the made-up non-existent genders but also making 13-14-year-old students question their own heterosexuality!

  1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?
  2. When and how did you first decide you were heterosexual?
  3. Is it possible that your heterosexuality is just a phase you may grow out of?
  4. Is it possible that your heterosexuality stems from a fear of others of the same sex?
  5. If you have never slept with a member of your own sex is it possible that you might be gay if you tried it?
  6. If heterosexuality is normal why are so many mental patients heterosexual?

The questions fit in very well with the Mates and Dates curriculum that we previously published an entire series about.

Is this a clear-cut case of child abuse? As a parent, I view this as a really sick game to plant doubt in the minds of previously perfectly happy and balanced young people about their sexuality.

I find the questions incredibly disturbing and see them as a classic case of grooming. No ethical teacher should ever go down that road. It is seriously creepy and should make any responsible teacher very uncomfortable. 

I have been a science teacher, and teaching reproduction was actually one of my favourite topics, so long as it stuck with the facts and was delivered in a matter-of-fact manner.  Q&A was interesting but there were boundaries.  If I was told to teach this and ask these questions, I could not help but feel like a dirty old man. I would flat out refuse.

My heterosexuality is as unchangeable as my race. The gay lobby has always claimed that they were born gay so why does the same logic not apply to the majority of the population who are born heterosexual? Imagine if we asked the exact same questions but applied them to a person’s race.

  1. What do you think caused your Maoriness?
  2. When and how did you first decide you were Maori?
  3. Is it possible that your Maoriness is just a phase you may grow out of?
  4. Is it possibile that your Maoriness stems from a fear of non-Maori?
  5. If you have never slept with a non-Maori is it possible that you might be non-racist if you tried it?
