PPTA targeted by Nats' PC eradicator
31 October 2005 - NZPA National MP Wayne Mapp says the secondary school teachers union stance on transgender issues is an example of how political correctness is out of control in New Zealand. Dr Mapp has been appointed as his party's political correctness eradicator and has come under fire from the Post Primary Teachers Association (PPTA) for backing the dumping of a bill to protect transgender people from discrimination. PPTA president Debbie Te Whaiti said Dr Mapp's position was a "glaring example of intolerance" as supporting the human rights of transgender and intersex people had nothing to do with political correctness. "A school that discriminates against staff or students because of sexual orientation or gender identity, or fails to take reasonable steps to prevent harassment of pupils perceived to be gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender is in breach of the Human Rights Act," Ms Te Whaiti said. "Affirming diversity is a fundamental value that must underpin the culture of a school, because without it, conflict is inevitable and a school is no longer a safe and affirming place for all members of its community." It appeared that the union supported cross-dressing teachers in front of students, Dr Mapp said. "Is this what our taxpayer dollars are funding in schools? They really are out of control and should stick to teaching," Dr Mapp said. "No one is supporting the harassment of anyone, but the PPTA should focus on children's needs not cross-dressing teachers." Ms Te Whaiti said transgender sexual orientation was not a choice and was hugely challenging for adolescents and their families. The PPTA had produced guidelines for schools on affirming the diversity of sexualities in the school communities. The debate was sparked by confirmation yesterday the Government was permanently shelving The Human Rights (Gender Identity) Amendment Bill. It was a member's bill sponsored by Georgina Beyer, but she said it had become the victim of a growing climate of intolerance in Parliament and society.
