Talking with Maree Buscke, Penny Marie says many parents wrongly believe changes promised by the coalition government have removed contentious relationship and sex education content from classrooms.

She argues schools continue using third-party resources despite revised guidelines, raising concerns about transparency, parental access to teaching materials and opt-out processes.

They explore the delays to the new curriculum, the role of advocacy groups and why parents should actively engage with schools to fully know what their children are being taught.

letkidsbekids — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 04:09:10 +0000

On April 18 2026, Public Child Protection Wales hosted their second annual conference.

This year they invited founding members of the International Child Protection Taskforce (ICPT) to speak.

ICPT specialises in researching in the educational, philosophical, legal and financial histories of how we ended up here – with children throughout western nations being subjected to sexualised education material and contested ideologies.

Penny Marie was privileged to join ICPT counterparts, bringing her latest findings including a timeline of how the Conversion Practices Prohibition Act 2022 was strategically curated into NZ legislation.

It was never needed. The UK doesn’t need it now, despite the pressure and noise from activists.

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.
