'LGBT-Indoctrination' Shirt Day Is Coming
Pink Shirt Day is being used by activists to indoctrinate gender theory & sexual identity of school children under the guise of anti-bullying programmes
Pink Shirt Days are predominantly and have always been about promoting an LGBT-narrative.
And it’s back for another year.
Here’s another reminder why you should avoid it.
Pink Shirt Day is back for another year in June – although as we’ll soon find out, it’s not about a day. It’s about a movement. But all the resources are being sent to gullible schools who haven’t done their research.
So let’s have a look at some of the package. It’s very subtle. It mentions other forms of bullying, but there is a strong push to make schools LGBT schools with the help of InsideOut, RainbowYouth and the Mental Health Foundation.
If you read the blurb on Pink Shirt Day, it’s about creating a community where all people feel safe, valued and respected, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, religion or cultural background.
Well, valued and respected if you agree with the organisers.
Parents and school leaders need to understand Pink Shirt Day for what it is. It’s predominantly about promoting an LGBT-narrative. Um… It’s kind of, fairly clear, well blatantly obvious when you look at the main logo. Yep.
There’s a booklet for secondary schools – targeting the students as the driver of the ‘movement
And there’s the guide for primary schools.
Before we have a look at those guides, let’s have a quick look at the website and some of their social media – including last year. And there’s lots of role models and influencers
Happy Pink Shirt day – love from your dads.
Not sure what that has to do with bullying – but it pushes the general narrative
Last year we also had this role model for the kids against bullying – apparently. Kitamean the drag queen.
A wonderful role model for kids to look up to – and look up on the internet as well.
They’ll find….
Now why wouldn’t you want those sort of people as role models for your children, you bigot.
There’s nothing sexual about it – just as there’s nothing sexual about bussy galore and eggplants.
And I have a bridge to sell you.
Then there’s the real stories. About bullying you ask?
Don’t be silly.
“Nat identifies as queer, non-binary and uses both pronouns they/she.…” She’s also “a bisexual in a heterosexual relationship”
“Finding belonging in Te Ao Māori as a gender fluid person” “Tangaroa identifies as gender-fluid, not identifying with any fixed gender. Rather than ‘he’ or ‘she’ pronouns, Tangaroa has recently come to prefer the term ‘Irarere’, which translates to “gender-fluid” in te reo Māori. The term represents a unique coming-together of Tangaroa’s Māori culture and gender identity, mirrored by the term Takatāpui, which Tangaroa also uses to refer to being Māori and identifying with diverse sexes, genders and sexualities.”
Here’s “New Zealand’s first Māori transgender model.”
High school students launch nationwide campaign for gender neutral bathrooms in schools. Gender neutral bathrooms in schools should be mandatory and government-funded
Seems to be a bit of a campaign here, don’t you think
This next one isn’t even about a person.
Spark’s quest to make the internet more gender-inclusive
Recent years have seen increased discussion around the true meaning of gender. What is it to be male? To be female? To sit outside that binary altogether? Despite increasing awareness, many people and organisations have yet to come to terms with what gender diversity truly means, and how many of our day-to-day practices and language choices can leave those who identify outside the traditional ‘male’ and ‘female’ binary feeling invisible, excluded, or vulnerable.
Beyond Binary Code is a deceptively simple, yet powerful idea - a free piece of HTML code that anyone can copy and paste on their website’s backend. The code includes online forms with a variety of options that acknowledge gender-diverse communities such as non-binary and takatāpui, an open field for individuals to enter their own, and a “would rather not say” option.
There’s even a gay Auckland City Councillor, and a gay TVNZ reporter. Yawn.
Nicola says he is a woman. He’s a father. An Anglican Priest. And he is a transgender woman
“When I was fifty-three I was on a retreat, I had this profound sense of clarity that at some point in my childhood I had left my body and moved house into my head and been there ever since. I felt this sense of call to find this lost self.”
He read Georgina Beyer’s book
“As I was reading Georgina’s story of her childhood as George, I realised she was telling my story. That was the first inkling I had that I might be transgender. I didn’t want to be trans. But I felt that God had led me to stumble on this book. I prayed to God and said “God, if this is what I am meant to be, then I open myself up to that possibility.” [He] came to feel comfortable identifying as non-binary or genderfluid… I told my wife first and she said: “I’ve always known something like this about you, this gives me hope that you’ll become the person you were always meant to be.”
You sort of get the very strong narrative being pushed through all these stories and role models eh,
The focus is not on bullying. But you probably already knew that.
It’s on indoctrinating as many children as possible in radical sexuality and gender fluidity & confusion
Then we come to the books that they recommend
Here's the recommended book list for Pink Shirt Day which includes
My shadow is pink – a book about a young boy, born with a pink shadow that loves princess, dresses and “things not for boys”. According to Amazon, the book empowers LBGTQ children and teaches children the concept of diversity, equality and inclusion.
And note that I’ve circled at the top that this is for both primary AND early childhood education – yes, preschoolers.
They can’t start soon enough.
Raven Wild The tale of a mystical gem and one woman's journey of self-determination in transition from the boy she once presented herself to be into the woman and hero that she would come to know herself as.
Presenting to us a world in which those within the wider spectrum of queer identity are able to merely exist in a space outside of the oppressive cis-heteronormative patriarchal structures that we often find ourselves confined to, Raven Wild is the story of Raven and a young women's journey through self-discovery and the affirmation of her experience and existence. And an affirmation of the existence of gender diversity and of trans people.
Promised Land - an LGBTQIA+-themed children's book.
“This children’s picture book provides a beautiful and refreshing interpretation of what it means to be "normal" and that includes being LGBT. This is a rare text in which a typically minority identity is presented in an organic, natural and positive light. Unlike the usual expectation of an LGBT storyline, where the characters face fear of coming out and navigating a world that does not accept them, Promised Land presents the opposite… The main characters Jack, a farm boy, and Leo, a prince, live happily and peacefully in a world “where no one cares if you were straight or gay”. They both long to be free, not because where they live is unaccepting but because their spirit for adventure surpasses the idleness of their kingdom. Leo and Jack meet by chance on their adventure through the forest and immediately fall in love.
Maiden Voyage – the reviewer says
“What I liked about this book is that at no point did it feel different from the usual fantasy pirate adventure genre. It didn't focus on the relationship between the two females being anything different from normal. Two women whose friendship turns into love. Full stop.”
Notice how these are all cartoon image books – very attractive to very young children.
For intermediate and secondary students, in the past they’ve recommended
Seeing Gender: an illustrated guide to identity and expression.
The savvy ally: A guide for becoming a skilled LGBTQ+ advocate
Raising LGBTQ Allies: A parent's guide to changing the messages from the playground
“Rick’ is about an 11 year old asexual…not sexually attracted – but that means he must be LGBTQIA+
But note these books that they want intermediate and high schoolers to read
It gets better: a compilation of stories about “coming out” including activists Dan Savage and Ellen DeGeneres
Supporting Aotearoa's Rainbow People - A practical guide for mental health professionals. The authors are RainbowYOUTH, InsideOUT, and Gender Minorities Aotearoa, and Victoria University of Wellington’s Youth Wellbeing Study.
If that doesn’t scare you, nothing will. The guide also includes sections on appropriate language and pronoun use.
Phew!
Now to be fair there are some good anti-bullying books recommended which cover ALL forms of bullying – but it’s very obvious where the emphasis or focus starts
So let’s have a quick look at the Teacher Guide for what they’re saying to primary schools.
Pink Shirt Day is more than just a day – it’s a movement. Your donation fuels our ability to reach more people and create lasting cultural change.
KEEP THE KAUPAPA GOING - It takes more than one day to make Aoteraoa a place free from bullying. That’s why it’s
important to carry on the Pink Shirt Day kaupapa even after it has come to an end.
InsideOUT is a charity that works to give rainbow young people in Aotearoa a sense of safety and belonging in their schools and communities. It provides resources, information, workshops, consulting, and support for individuals, schools, workplaces, and community organisations. Check out InsideOUT’s resources, including ‘Ending Rainbow-Focused Bullying and Discrimination’, ‘Creating Rainbow-Inclusive School Policies and Procedures’, as well as video resources sharing the voices of rainbow tamariki.
… Use resources such as the Relationships and sexuality education.
Yep, the radical RSE curriculum which has just been withdrawn because its so extreme.
Remember, this is for primary schools.
And then Help and Advice from InsideOUT, Outline Aotearoa and RainbowYOUTH.
Let’s have a look at the secondary school guide. This stuff is probably more concnering.
Pretty early on, they reveal the real agenda
Page 5
Homophobic, biphobic and/or transphobic bullying all refer to bullying based on a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. In Aotearoa, rangatahi who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, takatāpui, or other sexuality and gender diverse communities (also referred to as the rainbow community)…,
And then the focus on the campaign they’ve highlighted on the website - High school students launch nationwide campaign for gender neutral bathrooms in schools
Page 6
Spread the workload by setting up a committee. If your school has a rainbow group, see if they’re keen
to be involved or just gather like-minded students to help organise activities and promote the day. InsideOUT has some great resources to help you. Check out page 9 of this guide for how to set up a rainbow group in your school.

Celebrate your rainbow friends, whānau and kaiako/teachers

Fund InsideOUT to provide free support to rainbow rangatahi in schools across Aotearoa
Page 9
Keep up the Mahi
Start a rainbow group (or join one!)Rainbow groups are student-led groups or clubs that offer a safe and supportive environment for rangatahi of diverse sexualities and genders as well as those with variations of sex characteristics (intersex), and their allies.
Celebrate Schools Pride Week! Sign your school up to take part in InsideOUT’s Schools’ Pride Week (2–6 June) and join a celebratory week of events that support rainbow rangatahi
Encourage your school to be inclusive. InsideOUT offers rainbow workshops and resources for schools across Aotearoa. Visit their website to find more information!
Check out InsideOUT’s resources, including ‘Creating Rainbow Inclusive School Policies and Processes’, ‘Making Schools Safer for Trans and Gender Diverse Youth’ and ‘Legal Rights at School for Rainbow Young People’.
And then some information to indoctrinate the teachers
Ensure language use and rules around events such as the school ball are inclusive of diverse genders and sexualities. Meet with teachers and coaches to discuss strategies to stamp out homophobic banter at team training sessions and in the stands.
Teasing someone’s looks, racial taunts, mocking people because of their lack of sporting ability, or teasting someone because they’re not that academically smart or have a learning or physical disability – that’s all ok.
It’s only the homophobia and transphobia that needs to be stamped out.
So there’s big advertising script for InsideOUT on the right hand side.
And lastly some stats about bullying – but note that the only bullying they’re really interested in is homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying – based on research from 2009!
In fact, on the resource, I did a check for the words race, ethnicity, religion / religious, Christian, Muslim, disabilities, weight (and reference to appearance). One mention of ethnicity! ONE – bullying of these groups is irrelevant. There’s token gestures to these groups by talking about bullying in general throughout the advertising, but no specifics.
Ironically, on this Appendix, it shows that one in five students from ethnic communities reported experiencing racist bullying. 20%. About the same rate as the very small proportion of students confused about their gender. How many gay students were bullied? Less than one in 10. 7.3% of same/both-sex attracted participants said that they had been bullied.
So 7.3% gay students are bullied, yet 20% of ethnic groups are bullied.
That’s a little awkward, isn’t it.
Yet what is the obsessive focus of Pink Shirt Day?
It’s all about your sexuality and gender identity.
However, on the other hand, the words ‘Gender’ or transgender appears 20 times, ‘sexuality’ or ‘sexualities’ 3 times, some form of ‘trans’ 8 times, some form of ‘phobic’ 10 times.
InsideOUT was mentioned 17 times.
That’s great marketing eh
Now who are the sponsors? The usual culprits – Mental Health Foundation, Inside Out, Human Rights Commission – all government funded
PPTA – this will give you a clue of their focus
In fact, they think it should be celebrated EVERY day!
the Peace Foundation – quakers
Cook Island Development Agency – never heard of them – but likely govt funded. Ironically the Cook Islands are currently in a battle to declare themselves a Christian nation.
TE KAHA O TE RANGATAHI Indigenous Youth Hub
Asian Family Services – which is kind-of ironic because bullying of ethnic groups isn’t really focused on
And Cotton On – remember that when you go shopping next time.
We’ve rated them as WOKE on our WokeUp.nz website
But the main sponsor is the Mental Health Foundation and InsideOut. And the Mental Health Foundation are did a failed campaign to retain the radical RSE programme in schools with extreme sexuality and gender ideology.
But the Mental Health Foundation isn’t too keen on parents rights.
Have a watch
VIDEO
It’s not the parent’s right to decide whether a child should be equipped for life. It’s our job. Parents are just “part” of the process.
5-8 year olds
Primary age should be indoctrinated with extreme sexuality and gender fluidity – because Shaun says its his job – it’s the state’s job - not you as the parents. Shocking.
This is the government funded organisation – alongside the radical InsideOut group which is part of RainbowYouth.
So – you can’t say you weren’t warned.
Please note – we’re not telling you whether you should or should not observe Pink Shirt Day. It’s your decision. We just think you should know what’s driving this day and the agenda behind it. Many people simply haven’t been aware.
If the organisers of Pink Shirt Day were just upfront and said “this is about promoting LGBT content in schools – end of”, then schools could make an informed decision.
But they don’t. It’s like the content in the RSE programme in schools. It’s always under cover – and that’s always a red flag for parents. They hate it when we expose exactly what they’re indoctrinating our children with, because they know that parents won’t like or accept it.
Let’s help schools focus on ALL forms of bullying, on ALL victims.
Supporting Pink Shirt Day – no matter how you do it – or what narrative you may present in your school – it’s still supporting a radical sexuality and gender ideology being pushed towards your children & grandchildren.
Let’s end ALL forms of bullying – not just the ones that the Mental Health Foundation and RainbowYouth and InsideOut are obsessed with.
