Would this be providing the highest level of care and protection possible for our students?" It's absolutely appalling, who is anybody to judge another for who they are - certainly in an educational environment," Lockhart said. "We believe God loves them and desires only the absolute best for them. "They are saying this is our view, if you don't like that, don't come to our school. But my expectations are all schools - including state-integrated schools - are safe and inclusive places for all of our students - very much including our rainbow students." I want to leave it with them to have those conversations with them. But the school's stance has come under fire from Pride advocate Gordy Lockhart, who said in his opinion the document was ''discrimination ... segregation, homophobia all rolled into one. Described by the school as a "working document", it was the "summary of beliefs relating to gender as a school of Special Character". The document states that "the biological sex of a person is determined at conception to be male or female and their gender identity should align with their biological sex". The school's Statement of Character in the Deed of Integration said it was a caring and openly Christian school, all fields of study are permeated with a biblical perspective, and that "each child has been created in the image of God". A leaked document reveals Bethlehem College will use biological pronouns for students, and the school needs to approve that their name "aligns with their biological sex". In response to the leaked document, the school said "it's not wise or kind" to support children down a path of experimental hormonal and surgical medical interventions.
