Fairytales under fire in state schools

Shadow Education Minister Nick Wakeling

Despite hundreds of jobs lost with the closure of the Hazelwood power station in the Latrobe Valley, and a crime tsunami sweeping across the state, Daniel Andrews is fixated on policing children’s toys and fairy-tale stories.

Daniel Andrews has released a new training kit for teachers that advises them to conduct an audit on toys and picture books in kindergartens that may encourage gender bias and stereotyping in four year olds.

The Andrews Government should be focused on improving education standards and not radical gender theories in our schools.

Instead of letting kids be kids, Daniel Andrews is focused on this ideological madness.

When will Daniel Andrews start addressing the bigger priorities for him as Premier, rather than policing gender bias in children’s toys and fairy-stories?
