The Dark Roots Of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), SOGI & RSE: National Citizens Inquiry CA

letkidsbekids — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 23:14:23 +0000

Penny gave this presentation at the NATIONAL CITIZENS INQUIRY in Canada on November 8 2025. The inquiry sought to answer the question ‘Are Children Safe In Canada?’

Warning: Contains some graphic content.

Explores who is behind the theories and ideologies that now assault our children in many western nations, that have come largely through the United Nations/UNESCO into our classrooms.

COMPREHENSIVE SEXUALITY EDUCATION (CSE)
In Canada this is known as SOGI or SOGI123. In other parts of the world it’s called CSE, or Relationships & Sexuality Education, RSE – as is the case in New Zealand.

SOGI ISN’T SEX EDUCATION
For those who may still think our kids are being taught what we were taught in school – about biology, how babies are made, and healthy relationships… NO. It’s not even in the name.

SOGI stands for ‘sexual orientation’ (teaching children about everything but monogamous heterosexual – or monogamous homosexual – relationships) and ‘gender identity’.

THE VIDEO ABOVE GIVES AN OVERVIEW OF THE THEORIES AND PEDAGOGY THAT HAVE PERMEATED ‘HEALTH’ PROGRAMMES AND THE EDUCATION SYSTEM AS A WHOLE:

1. ‘Sexual from birth’ theory – Alfred Kinsey
2. ‘Gender’ theory – John Money
3. ‘Queer’ theory – Michel Foucalt, Judith Butler, Prof Emma Renold
4. Critical pedagogy, (pedagogy means ‘educational approach’) with Paulo Freire

The Platform: Penny Marie On The ‘Lil Gay Out’ School Event

letkidsbekids — Thu, 22 May 2025 05:53:08 +0000

Penny Marie published a revealing exposé of Lil Gay Out, an annual event put on at an Auckland secondary school, which resulted, days after, in its cancellation.

The school sited’ health and safety concerns’ due to a ‘possible protest’ as their reason for cancelling the event.

The New Zealand Herald then published an article quoting the schools reasons for cancelling, however no evidence has been seen on a possible protest threat.

Penny Marie was invited onto The Platform for an in-depth discussion into this and the much bigger situation.

Thank you to The Platform for deciding to publish the entire hour-longer conversation, including a father who called in to share his heart-wrenching story.

Perhaps this is a watershed conversation, that will invite more people who have been silenced, to speak up. For our children’s sakes.

Have you heard of GoodSpace? And also the HEEADSSS Assessment.

(If you haven’t, Let Kids Be Kids has been talking about it since 2024 – check out our videos and report here, as well as a template t communicate with your school principal.)

GoodSpace Schools is presented as a schoolwide support system that “empowers school teams to create positive environments where every student can overcome wellbeing challenges and achieve their best learning outcome.”

But what information is GoodSpace (and HEEADSSS) asking students about, what age group, what happens to the information, and what involvement and notification do parents have in all of this. One parent is on a search to find out – and we thought we’d help.

KiwiBlog: Out Of Control Wakatipu High School

Featured on KiwiBlog, by David Farrar

Rodney Hide has a tale that should be in a Monty Python comedy, but sadly is the reality in too many schools. He wanted to address the school board over his concerns that the relationship and sexual education curriculum the school was using, was inappropriate for 13 year olds.
