Two ordinary Kiwis go toe-to-toe with their local school over inappropriate gender-identity and sexuality content in the curriculum.

 “This is not for the faint-hearted” says Blair on engaging with his and Karen’s local school re: inappropriate content in the Ministry of Education’s ‘Relationships and Sexuality Education Guidelines’ (RSE). “You have to go in there with real determination.”

The school kids in Mangawhai, on the upper east coast of the North Island, are lucky that both he and Karen have that in spades.

Like an ever-increasing number of parents, grandparents, aunties, and uncles, Karen and Blair have strong objections to some of the sexuality and gender-identity content in the Ministry of Education’s ‘Relationships and Sexuality Education Guidelines’ (RSE). Here is a comprehensive analysis of those guidelines written by Family First.

Blair, a solo dad who now home schools his son, had already been trying to engage with his son’s school over inappropriate sexuality and gender-identity content in the RSE Guidelines before Karen also got wind of it, and joined forces with him. Together with others, they formed a Facebook group called PAGE NZ – Parents Against Gender Education New Zealand. The number of members quickly grew, and continues to do so as more people seek a place to talk, learn, and discuss what they can do about this content which kids are at risk of being exposed to now.

Not all schools incorporate the inappropriate content from the RSE Guidelines into their curriculum, but there are those that do. Karen and Blair talk with me here about the fractious engagement they’ve had with their local school in trying to get them stop incorporating this content. It’s certainly some story!

Two ordinary Kiwis go toe-to-toe with their local school about the Relationships & Sexuality Guidelines.



Since publishing this video, I’ve had another person tell me it’s similar to what she experienced when trying to engage with her kids’ school after discovering what the content was in the RSE Guidelines. She writes about this in the article called Redefining Boys and Girls on her Substack 'Arguments with Friends'. And Katherine Chua told her harrowing story about it, too, at the ‘Unsilenced’ event in Wellington in May (2024).

A bookshop dumps a cookbook sold as a fundraiser to feed people, because the book’s author isn’t woke.

 One of the best things to come out of cyclone-ravaged Hawkes Bay in the last year is Jane Morgan’s newly released cookbook titled ‘ The Dinner Club’ , which is being sold as a fundraiser to feed people. It’s selling like hotcakes online, but the only local bookshop which stocked it sent Jane a request to collect the remaining books from them asap, because Jane doesn’t believe men can be women. They also concluded, from trawling through Jane’s social media, that she was “anti-Māori”, which, in an extremely ironic way, is as funny as feck, seeing as Jane’s mother is Māori. However, a Māori simply being honest about Māori crime stats is not excused from being “anti- Māori”, it would seem. Work that one out, if you can. The dumping of Jane’s book from the bookshop, Wardini Books , is said to have been instigated by a complaint from a known troublemaker, who is also named in several Netsafe complaints. The bookshop owners, apparently being woke up the wazoo, immediately reacted against

Ex-Corrections NZ prison officer, Josie, shares her experience of dealing with trans-identifying-males (men) in women’s prisons.

 Josie worked for the New Zealand Dept of Corrections   from 2008 to 2021. The first ten years of that time were spent working in the Auckland women’s jail, and the remainder in the men’s jail. Whilst working in the women’s jail, known officially as Auckland Region Women’s Correction Facility , she experienced the first transfer of a fully intact male who said he was a woman from the men’s jail to the women’s. In most cases, a man who says he’s a woman is a transvestite and/or autogynephile. In other parlance, he can also be referred to as a ‘trans-identifying-male’ – a TIM - and in this piece will be referred to as such, simply for brevity. This is Josie’s story of how it was for her to deal with those fully intact TIMs who came in during the time she worked at Auckland women’s jail. In 2012, the first such TIM was first transferred from the men’s jail to the women’s in Auckland. He was in jail for the murder of an elderly woman . He was a habitual offender in other ways, too, and u

New Zealand Police and the TQ+ influence

  First published 5th June 2023 When violence erupted at the Let Women Speak rally in Albert Park¹, like many, I was shocked at the police inaction. Whilst trans activists aggressively mobbed Kellie-Jay Keen and the rally marshalls, and also behaved aggressively towards other women attending the rally, a handful of police stood by and let it happen. Their response, when asked for help, was “we’re not here to protect you”. It had the disturbing feeling of them being instructed not to act. It was only when Kellie-Jay Keen’s security team and citizen-protectors got her outside the park that the police took over, and got her safely away. Whoever gave the police the instruction not to help may never be revealed, but questions have been asked. If we ever do get a straight answer, I personally would not be surprised if a  Diversity Liaison Officer  featured significantly. Like much of New Zealand’s public service, our police force has been subjected to neo-rainbow² inculcation. An Official In
