Schools minister Catherine McKinnell claims there's no evidence of a widespread problem.

This is utterly disgraceful, we know there are many issues with school RSE resources and there is no reason at all to stop parents knowing what their children are being taught in schools.

Not only are many materials politically motivated and biologically inaccurate, we been told by many distressed parents over the years - themselves the victims of CSA - that some school materials use the same language that their abusers did

Schools need to work in partnership with parents, not against them.

We gave evidence 2 years ago at the WESC, we have documented the issues, we have met with the Department for Education numerous times to share the concerns of parents and teachers.

No elected government should be forcing parents to send their child to school and then refuse to tell the parent what is being taught.

Thats dictatorship

And this is the sort of thing that sends people to Farage.

They could not have had more evidence delivered to them. This is a deliberate move to further undermine safeguarding.

Exactly what they said they'd do.

Everyone who put this government in must have known what they were voting for.

They're really not going to stop peddling this stuff, and without a good opposition party forcing them too we have no hope of getting them to leave the kids alone. 🤬

It's utterly dismal. Thank you for campaigning on this issue.
