How this no-nonsense Aussie dad is fighting to keep his children’s school free from the ‘woke mind virus’
An Aussie dad is petitioning to join the board at his children’s school to keep it free of the ‘woke mind virus’ he believes is infecting younger generations.
Perth father Dean Healy is one of eight nominees gunning for three positions on the Churchlands Senior High School board this year.
Mr Healy’s anti-woke petition believes that ‘gender ideology and other radical beliefs have no place in shaping young minds’.
‘I stand as a voice for parents who refuse to let the woke mind virus infiltrate our schools,’ he said.
‘I am committed to ensuring our schools prioritise academic excellence and remain free from ideological indoctrination.
‘Our children deserve an education that fosters critical thinking, not conformity to government-driven agendas or divisive ideologies.’
The father-of-two is a regional director at Info-Tech Research Group according to his LinkedIn profile on which he states: ‘I either want to leave my mark on the world, or be part of a company’.
Mr Healy said he wants to be on the school board member to ensure values that matter most to his children’s future are safeguarded.

‘Our schools should focus on equipping students with essential knowledge and skills, empowering them to think independently and succeed in life,’ Mr Healy said.
‘I will fight for transparency, accountability and an unwavering focus on real and practical education.’
Churchlands is one of Western Australia’s biggest public schools, with more than 2,300 students enrolled.
The school states its vision is ‘to develop a school community which encourages commitment to personal, social and environmental responsibilities’.
‘Churchlands Senior High School empowers every member of our community to be the best person they can be and to contribute to the wellbeing of self and others,’ the school’s website says.
The Education Department says public school boards exist to work with the school community to achieve the best outcomes for students, and hold advisory responsibilities.
It includes school governance, ensuring ‘community expectations and the school’s priorities reflect the needs of students’.
All board members must to act in the best interests of the school and its students, while encouraging diversity that reflects the student population.
‘Ensuring diversity on councils and boards contributes to effective school governance and leads to better-informed decision-making, new ideas, opinions, solutions and stronger connections with the school community,’ the department’s online public information page reads.
