High school class explicitly explains bestiality as part of LGBTQ lessons

Pigs will squeal on you

A high school in Australia is under investigation by the South Australia Department for Education after it hosted an unsupervised presentation for young girls that explicitly explained bestiality as part of a sex ed lesson about LGBTQ+.

Renmark High School's principal, Mat Evans, issued a letter of apology to parents who heard that their children left in disgust during the session on March 22 given by a third-party presenter and put on by Headspace Berri.

The apology read that the school was “taking this matter very seriously” and had “raised concerns” with the speaker from Headspace located in Berri who has been suspended from operating in government schools while the Education Department investigates, per The Advertiser.

Evans also stated the school had launched an internal review due to the normal procedure of "notifying parents of specific presentations was not followed."

Horrified parents learned that their daughters in year 9 at the school had been pulled from their regular lessons and placed in a separate classroom with the Headspace Berri facilitators and the speaker without the supervision of a teacher. They had not been notified of the presentation or had consented to it.

The title slide of the presentation read "You can see queerly now. Now point in hiding."

14-year-old Emelia Wunderberg said all the girls felt extremely "uncomfortable" as the presenter went into graphic detail about their sexuality and then showed a slide about what each component in "LGBTQIA+" meant.

"There was a slide for what the 'plus' means, and they just started randomly saying words that no-one knew, like bestiality," Emelia said. "They said [the queer community] just accepts all of it, even though … isn't it illegal?"

"We're all just sitting there like, 'What the hell? What are we doing here? Why are we learning about animals having sex with humans?'" she said.
