The Independent Education Union has jumped to the defence of a Lake Macquarie Catholic school after it was targeted in a social media spray by NSW One Nation Leader, Mark Latham.
The outspoken MP took aim at a Personal Development, or PDHPE assessment task for Year 8 students at St Paul's Catholic College at Booragul, claiming they were being taught political lessons on diversity, racism and LGBTIQ discrimination.
Mr Latham says there's no place in the school system for political indoctrination.
The union has hit back saying the assessment task clearly addresses the syllabus content and there is nothing controversial about it.
