Where does it leave family values, how do you explain the different views advocated by the teachers
When the child believes everything the teacher says

Undermining of parental rights and family values

am writing as a deeply concerned citizen, father, and advocate for family values, to express my unequivocal opposition to the proposed implementation of the Early Childhood Education (ECE) Toolkit — a training program reportedly designed to equip educators with tools to promote transgender ideology to children between the ages of 0–9 years.

This initiative, in its current form and intention, raises a number of constitutional, ethical, and developmental concerns that I believe are being dangerously overlooked. My objections are rooted in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and are structured around the following five critical points:

1. Complete Absence of Public Consultation
Section 59(1)(a) of the Constitution obligates the National Assembly to:

"facilitate public involvement in the legislative and other processes of the Assembly and its committees."

No broad-based consultation, debate, or national awareness campaign has been conducted with South African parents, educational stakeholders, or religious communities regarding this ECE Toolkit. Proceeding with such a radical shift in early childhood content without parental or public input is not only undemocratic — it is unconstitutional.

2. Undermining of Parental Rights and Family Values
Section 28(1)(b) clearly states:

"Every child has the right to family care or parental care..."

This right implicitly includes the role of parents as primary decision-makers in the moral and psychological development of their children. Introducing transgender ideology to toddlers and young children without explicit parental consent is a direct violation of the rights of parents to guide their children’s upbringing in accordance with their values and beliefs.

This also conflicts with the spirit of Section 29(1)(b):

“Everyone has the right to receive education... that respects... the rights of parents to choose the form of education best suited to their values and religious convictions.”

3. Undermining of Relig

Undermining of religious/spiritual values

This is an absolute disgrace to undermine the family especially considering how vulnerable our children are as a result of the breakdown on the family.
