Repeal: “LGBTIQA Inclusiveness In Schools Act”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#2
Proposed by: Saint Tomas and the Northern Ice Islands
General Assembly Resolution #603 “LGBTIQA Inclusiveness in Schools Act” (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Educational) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Affirming its stalwart commitment to protecting marginalised communities from discrimination via World Assembly legislation, such as through “Defending the Rights of Sexual and Gender Minorities”, “Access to Transgender Hormone Therapy”, and “Ending School Segregation”,
Embarrassed, however, by the numerous flaws present within General Assembly Resolution #603 “LGBTIQA Inclusiveness in Schools Act”,
Lambasting the overly broad definition of “school” within GA#603, as “an institution designed for the organised education of students by providing learning spaces and environments”, which includes many entities such as junior football academies, martial arts dojos, and online coding courses,
Understanding that these “schools” consequently have to teach, along with their main educational purpose, a plethora of material concerning sexual orientation, romantic orientation, and gender identity, as well as provide resources to help minors question and accept their identities, even if these are already being provided by the main educational institutions that these students attend, thereby straining vital resources and almost certainly detracting from the primary educational function of these “schools” due to having to provide resources and lessons to all of the minors enrolled therein, hindering the holistic development of said students,
Disappointed that GA#603 requires that “schools” “otherwise support the mental health of students with diverse sexual or romantic orientations or gender identity”, which includes students’ mental health issues beyond being unable to cope with their sexual orientation, romantic orientation or gender identity; Since “diverse” would easily cover many people, leaving no doubt as to what the consequences of this are, this creates more inexcusable costs for these “schools”, as they may need to hire full-time counsellors or take less time covering core material and instead set time aside for therapy (for example); not to mention the inefficiency of it, since all of this would had already been provided in schools,
Stressing that these mandates not only detract from the primary educational function of these more specialized institutions, but in some cases also stop them from serving the primary educational purpose entirely, because running the normal operation as well as managing a system to identify minors using the learning space or environment, teaching them gender and sexual or romantic orientation material, and providing and funding resources to help every single user, (which may be thousands or even millions of people) come to terms with their gender identity, sexual orientation, or romantic orientation is simply financially impossible in the overwhelming majority of instances,
Concluding that GA#603 is an unmistakably flawed and poorly constructed piece of legislation, and that there is little reason for it to continue to be enforced as international law, and
Hoping that in the future, the World Assembly stops passing haphazardly written resolutions on the sole basis that they grant rights to certain marginalised groups, and instead consider the technical merit of a proposal before rushing to vote in favour based on premise alone, hereby:
Repeals General Assembly Resolution #603, “LGBTIQA Inclusiveness in Schools Act”.
