Some eye opening stuff here: worth following up if your child attends school in Swindon.

Rishi talks well on this (see answer to excellent question by Nick Fletcher MP below) but when is the government going to produce guidelines and then enforce them? Schools, trusts and councils that are captured just please themselves at the moment.

"I don't like this casual normalisation of filming sex by a local borough council. Call me old-fashioned."

The text is up:

Nick Fletcher
"A school in my constituency was complaining that it could not afford to turn the heating on, yet that school and others are spending money on PSHE materials from organisations such as Stonewall and Jigsaw that are educating our boys and girls that they may not have been born in the right body or that they may have an inner gender identity. Will the PM meet me to see how we can stop this unscientific, ideological education being taught in our schools and get our children learning where they should be learning—in a warm, safe place?"

Answer from Rishi:

"We have boosted school funding by around £2 billion in each of the next two years, which will help schools to manage their energy costs, but we do expect schools to take responsible and sensible decisions on their RHSE materials and make sure that those materials are age-appropriate, suitable, politically impartial and value for money. I look forward to discussing this matter with my hon. Friend, and I will make sure that he gets a meeting with the relevant Minister."

The age appropriate and politically impartial points are very important because in the non-statutory guidance, politically impartial isn't really there. It's too arguable either way as regards sex education:

Of course the statutory guidance is worse as it does erroneously include "gender identity" and that has also got to change, to reflect the law and not Stonewall Law.

Good to see these issues getting some coverage. Safe Schools Alliance getting in on the action too.

I sense people are really sick of this, and I've heard anecdotally that more parents are asking to see PSHE resources. Quite rightly.
