A tweet from Jess Phillips (retweeted by my mp)
As soon as Westminster resumes I'll be calling on Department for Education to make clear to parents and to change their guidance that inclusive education is non negotiable. The fudge has allowed this crisis and without firm action it will spread. This must end next week.
I assume this is a reaction to what's happening to schools in her area, where parents are objecting to LGBT 'education'.
While I believe it's wrong that the government have made this the responsibility of individual schools, I strongly dislike her attitude of 'we know better than parents' in this and I'd be interested to hear what others think.

Maybe she's talking about being able to opt of religious education too?

I’m reading it as it won’t be set in stone.

I just wish lesbian and gay rights didn't get lumped in with gender identity stuff.

Schools should encourage people to be respectful to all.
But parents should be respected too.
Especially about something with a poor evidence base like gender identity.
