About Us — Welcome

A band of Postgraduate Education students at the Kuring-gai campus of UTS have acted on the need for change, formed an organisation and are seeking to turn our ideals on equality into reality. Martin J Porter, as club patron recognised the impact that teachers can have in shaping attitudes and beliefs, and that as a mature age student, decided to do something about it.

 

Foundation Club President (Gary Molloy)  has made a commitment that the

Kuring-gai Organisation of Educators for Equality (KOoEE) will be an organisation of men and women supporting positive changes for all people. KOoEE advocates a perspective for enhancing people’s lives that is pro-feminist, gay-affirmative, anti-racist, and committed to justice on a broad range of social issues including class, age, religion, and physical abilities. KOoEE members are committed to examining, and challenging racism, in our organisations, our communities and ourselves.

We affirm that working to make this nation's ideals of equality a reality is the finest expression of what it means to be alive.

 

We believe that persons can become happier and more fulfilled human beings by challenging old-fashioned rules of masculinity and race that embody many assumptions of superiority.

 
As an organisation dedicated to change, we care about men and are especially concerned with men's problems, be they emotional, sexual or intellectual.


KOoEE applauds and support the insights and positive social changes that feminism has stimulated for both women and men. We oppose such injustices to women as economic and legal discrimination, rape, domestic violence, sexual harassment, and many others. Women and men can and do work together as allies to change the injustices that have so often made them see one another as enemies.

 

We also acknowledge that many people are oppressed today because of their class, age, religion, and physical condition. We believe that such injustices are vitally connected to sexism, with its fundamental premise of unequal distribution of power.


We have a
Board, are currently working on our constitution and welcome any person who agrees in substance with these principles to contact Stuart Smith for information about membership in the KOoEE.
