parents evening tonight for my year 8.
Her teacher spoke about the upcoming lessons and mentioned that they'd be looking at gender identity. I asked her if they'd be approaching these lessons with the Cass review in mind and it was
the first time she'd heard of it! Seriously? She's teaching this without any knowledge of the Cass review?How would you approach? My daughter knows you can't change sex and knows that boys can wear pink and have long hair and like musicals and makeup without being girls
and that girls can have short hair, play football and like lego without being boys.
Would you email school? I suspect many schools
are willfully uneducated on this and pushing the harmful affirmative nonsense.

I'd.email about both the Cass review and the updated guidelines from the DoE. Hold on, I'll find them.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I think I'm the only teacher at my school who knows about the Cass review.

I would. Cass is very répand that teacher should read it before teaching. It may even stop a class of children being brain washed that a belief system is mandatory and lead to a more balanced introduction to the subject
