Australian school insists it will only recognize students' 'biological sex'

A Christian school in Australia is asking parents to sign an enrolment contract that requires students to follow gender roles of their “biological sex.”

With the school year beginning Feb. 7, Citipointe Christian College in Brisbane sent the contracts to parents detailing that it will not recognize gender identity — only the gender assignment given at birth.

“We believe that any form of sexual immorality (including but not limited to adultery, fornication, homosexual acts, bisexual acts, bestiality, incest, pedophilia, and pornography) is sinful and offensive to God and is destructive to human relationships and society,” states part of the contract, obtained by the Daily Mail.
Parents were given a week’s notice to agree to the school’s terms.

“Whilst each student is individually valued and equally encouraged to pursue opportunities in both academic and co-curricular activities, I/we agree that, where distinctions are made between male and female (inclusive of, but not limited to, for example, uniforms, presentation, terminology, use of facilities and amenities, participation in sporting events and accommodation) such distinctions will be applied on the basis of the individual’s biological sex,” the contract reads.

It then goes on to state that failure to agree to the terms could lead to a student’s expulsion, or in contract speak, will “afford Citipointe Christian College the right to exclude a student from the college who no longer adheres to the college’s doctrinal precepts including those as to biological sex.”

In a statement posted on the school’s website, principal and pastor Brian Mulheran said the school “has always held these Christian beliefs,” but went on to contradict the contract’s wording, saying, “Citipointe does not judge students based on their sexuality or gender identity and we would not make a decision about their enrolment in the College solely on that basis.”
