Darryl David on Constitution and Penal Code Amendment Bills relating to Section 377A
With the impending repeal of Section 377A, schools can play a crucial role in nurturing open conversations on the topic so that it is handled sensitively. Students who are exploring their own identities may also need help in their journey of discovery. Making that point in Parliament on Monday (Nov 28), MP Darryl David urged the Government to consider training educators to handle these issues and other related matters that might emerge from the 377A debate. He also said that while there are legal arguments for repealing 377A, it is even more important to recognise moral integrity - that it is the right thing to do. He said a truly inclusive society consists of people who are willing to not just tolerate but accept those who are different, and those who are different should not be discriminated against in any way.
