Parents Urged to Look Beyond Curriculum Changes

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.

Sex-Based Rights & Conversion Therapy: A Warning For Wales & The UK – From NZ

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.

Request for information about ‘Inclusive School Culture’ policy

letkidsbekids — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 20:04:30 +0000

80-85% of New Zealand schools outsource their policy writing and publication to SchoolDocs, a private company. Recently we discovered that they have imbedded ‘gender identity’ language into their policies, although this term is not in NZ Human Rights law.

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

Penny Marie of LKBK along with Michelle Pearse and Dr Julie Sladden on “The World Today”, a current affairs program which delivers national and international news and analysis to audiences globally. In this video, host Mike Ryan asks a panel to help us understand why our politicians are supportive of these cruel treatment of children, who or what forces – corporate, or medical are behind this phenomena of trans kids and how they have been so influential. What is what is the ultimate agenda of these social engineers and political apparatchiks and why are so many of us oblivious to the harm being done to our children before our eyes.
