Truly excellent news.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 10/11/2021 15:07

This is very useful information for parents to use when complaining to schools about some of the awful materials they're using about gender identity. Schools need to be impartial and not push the demands of groups like Stonewall promoting queer theory. If the BBC sees the problem with remaining impartial when following Stonewall's instructions, then so should schools.

Excellent news

Wow. This is good news!

Fantastic news! When I wrote to them, thanking them for posting that article about lesbians being coerced into sex/raped by transwomen, I said that I hoped it was sign that the BBC was ready to leave the Stonewall Diversity Champions programme, and it turns out that it was. Brave BBC! About bloody time, but better late than never.

I am so happy to see this. Much as I am frustrated with Stonewall there is a bigger issue. The BBC shouldn’t be beholden to any lobby group, it’s supposed to be impartial.

The other thing about the BBC quitting stonewall is that many schools have pshe leads who don't get paid for doing the role, or do it as part of a different role (eg head of year), and so the people writing the schemes of work and organising resources have no particular expertise. They would likely take bbc produced materials as a trusted resource and not refer back the equality act itself - which accounts for some of the stuff we have seen in schools. If bbc are now going to do their work properly, it will have a knock on effect. Similarly, this why it is so important to ensure police, government, judges and the equality commission are impartial.

A cynical person might say that stonewall deliberately targeted "trusted" organisations in order to actively prevent proper scrutiny.

Very good point made about future project funding from Children in Need.
Now is probably a good time to write to Tim Davie about where BBC's Children in Need passes on donated money; and to tell him why so many people are now withdrawing their donations.

I can't in all conscience give Gendered Intelligence a penny, or trust BBC's CiN.

AlfonsoTheUnrepentant · 10/11/2021 14:59

It's a step but I suspect that there is a man behind the curtain. I don't trust either Stonewall or the BBC at all.

oakleaffy · 10/11/2021 14:56

Thank goodness for that.

Purpletomato · 10/11/2021 14:54

Excellent news.

@MrsOvertonsWindow

So pleased the BBC said: has led some to question whether the BBC can be impartial

That's the question every government department, organisation and school should be asking. Following the demands of those enforcing queer theory is not impartial.

Hell, yeah.

Pleased about this, because it improves the prospect of the Beeb recommitting to impartiality- a very important value for an institution that effectively, we have no choice about funding.

MidsomerMurmurs · 10/11/2021 14:51

Hurrah!

I know it is early but to Stephen and all the reasonable people at the beeb and to everyone on here who has contacted them to leave comments Wine

Embroidery · 10/11/2021 14:44

Yes!
Brilliant news

bellinisurge · 10/11/2021 14:39

I love how binning the No Debate nonsense constitutes hate.

It's a great scam, to be fair, blocking all discussion of the implications for women and girls and then, when someone dares to have that discussion, call it "increasing transphobia in the media" which makes transgender people feel "unsafe".

The "moral panic " the TRAs blather on about is actually a panic they have created. They are panicking trans people into believing that discussion of anything to do with women's rights puts them at an existential risk.

doublemonkey · 10/11/2021 14:38

Wow, just WOW!!

WAGMI!

DumplingsAndStew · 10/11/2021 14:36

What a shame. The stonewall statement was trying so hard at pretending they weren't just about trans people 😂 They seem to have missed out the bit here where they change 'trans' to 'LGBTQ+'

The BBC announces it is leaving Stonewall
MrsJamin · 10/11/2021 14:35

@BloodinGutters I'm sure you're right.

lazylinguist · 10/11/2021 14:33

Brilliant news!

JoyousAsOtters · 10/11/2021 14:33

Will they be immediately reviewing their children's programming I wonder?
