QLD school issues apology two years after gender contracts
==========
Brisbane's Citipointe Christian College in Carindale has issued an apology for introducing a controversial student gender and sexuality contract two years ago. The contract stipulated that the school would only enroll students based on their biological sex and stated that homosexuality was 'sinful'. The school eventually withdrew the contracts and the principal stood aside. The matter was referred to the Human Rights Commission and an agreement was reached between the school and parents. The school expressed regret for causing distress and concern to students and parents and stated its commitment to anti-discrimination and inclusion. Former teacher and parent Helen Clapham Burns welcomed the statement as a step towards reconciliation with the LGBTI community. The Public Interest Advocacy Centre called for changes to anti-discrimination laws to prevent schools from implementing discriminatory rules against LGBTI students and teachers.
