An important read to give voice to Alex and his life. I have requested that @rnzrss.bsky.social take the article down, not expecting that they will but needed to push back in some small way. A young persons life matters - but needs to be their authentic life.

How does a party/person who received 6% of the vote in the 2023 election get to say what can and cannot be taught in schools? They are not sex-ed guidelines- they are Relationships and Sexuality guidelines. Shows a lack of media investigation. Do better Stuff www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...
