ACDP members held demonstrations outside the WC legislature on Thursday to oppose the basic education department's guidelines for the socio-educational inclusion of diverse sexual orientation, gender identity, expression, and sex characteristics in schools
The ACDP held a protest outside the Western Cape legislature to oppose the draft document on the inclusion of children with diverse sexual orientation and gender identities.
The basic education department's proposal suggests unisex toilets in schools, with individual cubicles for privacy. Party members gathered outside the legislature on Thursday to protest the introduction of unisex toilets at schools. "As the ACDP, we are opposing the draft guidelines. Outside this legislature, almost 200 members came to protest against these unisex toilets they [the department of education] want to introduce," he said. "These things are unacceptable; learners are confused, and they get indoctrinated with wrong things. Our children must go through this. It hurts me as a Christian, and we are saying no to unisex toilets," he said.
