It was a school anti-bullying program that became a lightning rod for culture warriors and conservative MPs – Safe Schools was either protecting gay kids from bullies or trying to sell Marxism in the playground, depending on who was talking.
Now, as the program prepares to shut down, a coalition of singers, actors and other high-profile Australians is urging Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to reopen that tinder box by funding a new version of Safe Schools – without the ideology.
