But it is "in schools" - help SSA amplify these terrible failures of safeguarding

Linking this thread to flag up, Monday's woman's hour prog is on RSE in schools

I do understand the idea behind a public inquiry but it will take years. That's years in which those pushing this stuff can retire, move upwards, or move to consultancy. Children will pay the price.

The pressure to hold one can be useful in pushing for changes now and for the much-trailed consultation to
happen now. But it needs oversight as it does seem to be a concern held by many that the DfE appears to be compromised. Or: too involved in the current mess to engender trust in the process without maybe something like another department involved too.

But of course it's not happening

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/03/23/dont-know-who-fancy-queer-schools-tell-children/

"Scottish children as young as 11 are being taught in school that they are “queer” if they do not yet know their sexual orientation, it has emerged.
Teaching materials at Boroughmuir High School, Edinburgh’s top state school, also claim that there are three biological sexes and suggest that highly controversial conceptss_ around sex and gender are facts.
A presentation prepared for classes in the first year of high school is now being "reviewed". It follows a backlash from parents who fear the lessons have been taking place without their knowledge for several years.
A separate “gender neutral language guide””_ prepared for staff at another Scottish school, Wick High in Caithness, tells staff not to use terms such as mother, brother or sister to avoid upsetting pupils who identify as trans.
The documents were obtained by The Telegraph amid growing concerns that disputed gender ideology theories backed by the SNP government are being inappropriately promoted in classrooms."

CSA has been normalised, no arrests and prosecution happen.

Given what he's speaking about, recent revelations about UK groups suggest that identical allegations could be made against some of them, either for their materials for UK schools or worse, having the same type of discussions about porn & sex with children in schools. Think of the Proud Trust's dice game if you're sceptical.

This is from the US but demonstrates just how low a priority safeguarding has become.

Why is supposed to be a good idea to get all barely pubescent children masturbating?

Just horrible.

That thing that doesn't happen again:

Boom!
Thank you for this MrsOverton

It's so good isn't it Nils? The Transgender Trend website has so many informative in depth articles.

That is extremely well put! Thank you for sharing the link, a real precis of the key issues and dots joined.

A powerful intervention from Transgender Trend that spells out precisely how queer theory based gender identity teaching "has already undermined safeguarding in schools through an equality, diversity & inclusion and anti-bullying route".

Well worth reading:

It doesn't add up, does it? The lack of adding up is always stark.

On one hand shouting about love, inclusion, kindness, tolerance, diversity - and in another breath saying the most abhorrent, heartless, cold, intolerant and insensitive things.

But the common and consist factor you can always find, is that the sound bites about love are always about one group of people and their best interests and the appalling views that would do justice to Alf Garnett are always aimed at everybody else, particularly those not rushing to enable the first group.

That man raises so many red flags - a dreadful comment to make to a parent about their child (especially given the subject).

John Nicolson (SNP MP) asked about this on Twitter. He got an answer from a someone saying their 11yo child was taught inappropriate things. His response was to blame the child:

Never has it been more important to try to establish some clarity in the law related the the meaning and importance of “sex” as biological, so please if you have not done so have a look here and give it reinforcement:

But apparently, even if the BBC did withdraw their videos, the ideologues who made them are still out and about teaching PSHE in schools.

Thank you OP. This is so very important. No more pretending it isn’t happening.

I have just found out from this thread below that
the BBC itself was teaching gender identity ideology until it was forced to withdraw it!

Malcolm Clark on Twitter: "1./ What are your children really learning about sex and gender? On BBC Politics Live John Nicolson claims Miriam Cates MP was not telling the truth about troubling, unscientific gender ideology being taught in schools; in particular that kids were told there may be 72 genders.👇 t.co/uCEPN4XKS1" / Twitter

Oh yes, I hear you and fully agree.

What strikes me as a parent governor is that while I fundamentally believe teachers have the best intentions, the wave towards inclusivity has prevented people from speaking up where things have gone too far. Teachers need to be more open to the idea that there is more than one view and be respectful of that, particularly in a secular, multicultural society.

For example, my school has been part of a county wide agenda to 'decolonise the curriculum' (their phrase not mine). While a lot of this was needed to make black students feel represented, some of it goes just too far.

In the flurry to make everything inclusive and open, and not hurt anyone's feelings, I think we risk losing the benefits of what we already have in the curriculum and move schools away from teaching 'just the facts' into teaching opinions as facts. So instead of just the birds and the bees, you get how to have anal sex!

The prevailing wind for (in my view) overly "celebrating" and putting minority identities and interests on a pedestal we are ushering in some very extreme concepts and behaviours to kids who it's already been shown are massively vulnerable to sexual assault at school.

I've never been a Tory but advocating for a neutral, back to basics agenda is where I find myself as a result.

They've always been awful. Any teacher can wack something in and not all teachers are necessarily experts.

Thank you. I complained to the BBC about the evident bias in the AntiSocial programme.

Those TES resources are shocking. (Having said that, many of the resources on the TES site are awful rubbish. I wouldn’t even bother to look there.)

Jesus I missed this! Jfc

Well, these threads are extremely busy at the moment, I keep having to go back, having missed a sentence, or a post.
