In Australia earlier this year, parents of boys in several Australian schools were shocked when their son's were forced to stand in classes, and public apologise for their masculinity. Two schools were publicly identified (Braurer College, Victoria and Parkdale Secondary College, Victoria). The teachers handing out this abuse were also identified by the schools, and parents were promised the allegations would be investigated, and the issues addressed.

To date, no-one has been held accountable for this public shaming and abuse of these boys. In addition, the Australian Human Rights Commissioner (Ros Croucher), the Australian Sex Discrimination Commissioner (Kate Jenkins) and the Australian National Children's Commissioner (Megan Mitchell), all women with entrenched misandrist beliefs about toxic masculinity, have done nothing to investigate, and have had nothing to say about these disturbing events. In fact, the Australian Human Rights Commission web site has no record of these events at all, despite both reported events and schools apearing in 100s of news reports over a period of several months.

It appears that the Australian Human Rights Commission supports and endorses the abuse of boys in Australian Schools, enabling the continuing discrimination against boys in the Australian education system and community generally, while blithely continuing to concentrate on the rights and privileges of women and girls.

Perhaps it's time to appoint a man or woman with less misandrist views to one of these important public offices.
