In a speech to a church in August, ACL spokesperson Jasmine Yuen said that the Liberal Party would remove the Respectful Relationships program as part of a review of the Victorian curriculum.

Um... A review generally comes before the decision to change things comes. Sounds like the 'review' is a furphy to ram in what they've decided to impose.

Anybody in Victoria remember this SRI program? I never had something like that at my school in WA.

We used to have someone come in and teach about Christianity at my public primary school. Most kids sat through it. But I barely remember it tbh. It was pretty boring.

It's not really a school's place to teach doctrine. That's what Sunday school is for. I wasn't gonna vote Lib but that's another reason not to I guess

    I honestly think if they'd have tried it, it would've caused a big ruckus, and rather a lot of damage to the school, with the male students at my high school. Especially if there was any sense of it being unjustly forced on us.

    I went to school with a wild bunch, who have a strong sense of fairness. Not saying that attitude was always expressed in constructive ways though...
