Melbourne woman Pia Cerveri emailed Bernardi on Monday night to express her concerns about his views on the Safe Schools Coalition.



Cerveri, who has two sons aged five and two, told BuzzFeed News she thought Bernardi was "allowing for state-sanctioned bullying" with the way he spoke about the program.



"I said to him, I want [my sons] to go to school in an inclusive and accepting society, and that doesn’t seem to be what you’re promoting," Cerveri said.



Minutes later, the senator replied, saying "you clearly haven't got any idea what is in the program".
