School of sexuality Education

*"They have learnt that the terms female and male have nothing to do with biology.

In what way is that good?"*

Because they will be educated about transgender, non binary and gender diverse people. With that education they won't end up on forums asking what trans or non binary means, the volume of posts on this forum alone is evidence that LGBT+ inclusive education is vital and should be part of the core modules. It will avoid a generation of people asking what to do when their ~insert relation~ comes out, it will avoid fracturing relationships when someone does come out as they will understand them. It will help those struggling with their own feelings to understand themselves.

Surely sex education needs to be biologically accurate... How else will kids learn about puberty, reproduction, and contraception?

If a young female believes she's a boy with a vagina, that's all good and well, but she still needs to understand that if someone (regardless of how they identify) inserts a penis into it there's a chance she could get pregnant. Saying you're a boy doesn't absolve you of all the inherent risks of being female.

Plain and simple language is important, especially when it comes to reproductive health.

Keep the inclusive stuff separate, and just stick to the facts.

From the links-

'Following this, the student teachers heard from Lucy Emmerson (director of the Sex Education Forum) and Rachael Baker (senior RSE specialist at the Sex Education Forum) who discussed the government 2020 RSE guidance and interrogated the idea of ‘age-appropriateness’ in RSE'

Sounds interesting...

In what way is that good?

Woman/ girl are not allowed so often now.
Female/ male are on the way out by the looks of it.

Do children not need to have any terms for the main grouping of humans? Baby ones and knob ones?

Being aware of who and what your child is exposed to at school, especially if it breaches statutory government guidelines and poses a safeguarding risk, is never a bad thing.

Allowing your children to learn a range of perspectives and keep an open mind and be respectful of all people will never be a bad thing

The student commenting has mistaken content that is utterly biologically illiterate and misleading as "inclusive". Try writing in a Biology GCSE or A Level that human beings with a penis could be male or female and see how well that turns out. Total nonsense that shouldn't be delivered to students.

You can withdraw your child from sex education up until the term before they turn 16.

This isn't an org I know about but would advise you to look at the resources page of safe schools alliance and ask the Head why this org was chosen, when you can see the materials and when they intend to consult with parents prior to children receiving these lessons.

How is inclusive education "very odd"?
I think it's great.
