Not In Our
Classrooms.
Explicit material is being shown to Australian school children without their parents’ knowledge. No oversight, no transparency, no say. We’re saying enough.

Protect our Kids is a grassroots
Australian campaign
We are parents, grandparents, teachers and concerned citizens. We are not a political party, and we are not funded by one.
We came together because children in Australian schools are being shown sexually explicit material — under the banner of education — and their families are the last to know.
In most cases it isn't even a teacher delivering it. It's a third-party provider, licensed to walk into the classroom with its own materials, its own funding and its own agenda.
We are asking for one thing: parents decide. Not a provider, not a department — the people raising the child.
See for yourself
Most parents have never
seen the material.
It’s delivered by a network of external providers who go into schools to run sessions which include explicit material and sexual ideologies. By the time your child mentions it — if they mention it — the visit is over.
We won't describe it for you. Watch someone who has seen it describe it, and decide for yourself whether you would have agreed to it.
Content warning: this discussion describes sexually explicit material shown to school-aged children.
Seen enough?
So have we.
Who's actually in the classroom
It isn't the teacher's fault.
Relationships and sexuality education in Australian schools are increasingly outsourced to external organisations — a different one in every state and territory. They write their own materials, set their own agenda and answer to their own board. No parent appointed them, and no parent can remove them. Most have never heard their name. And when it is a teacher taking the class, they’ve often been trained by these groups. They run sessions for tens of thousands of educators every single year - providing them with lesson plans, materials, and demonstrations.

Our demands
What we're asking for.
Three changes. We are asking state and federal education ministers for all of them.
Ban sexually explicit material from Australian schools — and the outside organisations that supply it.
That means no explicit images or demonstrations in primary classrooms, no third-party provider delivering them, and an immediate stop to the training these organisations give to teachers.
Publish every program and every resource in advance, and require real parental consent.
A signature on a consent form is not consent if nobody has seen the material. Parents should be able to read exactly what will be shown, before it is shown, and say no without penalty to their child.
Stop the public money flowing to the organisations delivering this material.
Governments choose who they fund. These arrangements were made without parents and can be ended without them — and until they are, taxpayers are paying for material most of them have never seen.
Three demands.
One signature.

A signature counts. A parent standing in front of a principal counts for more. Most people want to say something and don't know where to start — so we wrote it for you.
