FOR SA VIRTUAL ROADSHOW - UKZN’s Compulsory Gender Module Undermines Academic and Religious Freedom

In this thought-provoking segment of the FOR SA Virtual Roadshow, we discuss the concerns raised by members of the faith and academic communities regarding the Critical Social Justice and Citizenship module offered at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). This compulsory module appears to promote a one-sided and contested view of sex and gender, marginalising traditional, binary perspectives that are foundational to many religious and cultural beliefs. We explore why the compulsory nature of the module raises serious questions about religious freedom, freedom of expression, and academic freedom — and whether it allows space for critical thinking or amounts to ideological indoctrination. FOR SA has formally engaged with UKZN, requesting access to the full content and proposing a respectful, pluralistic alternative. The university's response has, however, been dismissive, leaving us to consider next steps. This issue also echoes broader concerns about ideological bias in public education, as seen in tools like the ECE Toolkit — challenging our nation's commitment to true inclusivity, diversity, and democratic freedoms.
