You know you've missed the mark when a reviewer expressed such a visceral reaction of "stunned disbelief and shock" in response to your artwork. Julianne Moss, on reviewing the work, writes, " Issues of gender, class, identity, equity and ability are powerfully positioned—not for affirmative action, but to 'other' the very two groups of Australians that this resource is intended to be used by, students and teachers." Here's an F-2 resource, so you can judge for yourself, and here's the Good Society home page. Having looked through the site, I won't say she's wrong. It's intended "to support respectful relationships education in all Australian schools," but it's presented as if created by people who don't really understand or agree with the concept.
