NC but regular FWR poster.

So, as the nation's children are at home, Andrew Moffatt is going to be creating videos of his 'No Outsiders' books and assemblies for them to watch.

This is being promoted by schools already and I'm concerned parents will have no idea about the harm this material promotes in relation to girls and gender ideology.

If you work in schools please keep a close eye on this.

This brand new resource provides much needed support for every primary school in the delivery of the objectives outlined in the Equality Act 2010; and in the provision of personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) for every child. This resource provides teachers with a curriculum that promotes equality for all sections of the community. But more than that, the resource aims to bring children and parents on board from the start so that children leave primary school happy and excited about living in a community full of difference and diversity, whether that difference is through ethnicity, gender, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, age or religion. The resource includes 5 lesson plans for every primary school year group (EYFS- Y6)

A resource for schools all about the Equality Act 2010 but misses out sex as a protected characteristic.

Deliberate genderism.
Jumping ahead of the law.

"Wouldn’t this actually be an opportunity for parents to witness the material and see it for themselves rather than sending their children into school clueless and uninformed?"

My thought exactly.

He is a gay man.

I say that in a deadpan way as this seems to trump everything in that his viewpoint is from a male perspective, a man who supports other men first and foremost, steamrollering over the rights of girls.

One of the books in the programme, 10,000 dresses, is particularly worrying as it reinforces regressive stereotypes.

Shelley Charlesworth's investigation & analysis of 'No Outsiders' Primary school program is important reading for parents, carers & teachers:

April 2019 'No Outsiders : Queering the Primary Classroom'
(concludes)
No Outsiders, like the duck’s egg, has been a long time in the hatching. It began in academia, in thrall to queer theory, and made its first and unsuccessful outing as a teaching resource to counter homophobia. It was refashioned as a way of teaching the Equality Act. But its links to gender identity theory have again been its undoing. Fatima and Mariam, the two Parkfield mothers quoted above, are right to be worried about its effects on their children.

What has happened at Parkfield school is horrible for all concerned. For the children who have to attend school in divisive and disruptive circumstances, for the parents who feel they are not being listened to, for the teachers facing protests and criticism while doing their jobs. Nobody wins. It’s also horrible for Andrew Moffat who has had to endure threats and homophobic name calling.

But it’s time he dropped the No Outsiders programme. Primary age children should be given clear factual information about biological sex, sex differences between girls and boys, about boundaries, respect and privacy. They should learn to say no to bullying of all sorts, and practice respect for difference and diversity. The rest can come later."
