Last minute school pride event- the rainbow flag award and other resources

My god. The head teacher is a fool in that case.

Do they have awards which celebrate the processes of reflection and self assessment by acknowledging the roles of women in science, the arts, sports, philosophy and literature?

Do they set aside curriculum time and awards to discuss how disability is reflected in our society?

What as a school do they do to combat racism and anti semitism , how much have they spent on resources in the last 12 months to specifically challenge these?

Why have they chosen to concentrate on one particular area ? Who has been the lead on this? Is this in the current School Development Plan, if so what are the expected outcomes and success criteria, how will they be measured and reported back, and by whom, and what is the expected cost?

A teacher who believes humans can change sex shouldn’t be teaching.

So she believes a fully intact male with penis and testicles (92% to 97% of transwomen retain them) is a woman? And she'd have this intact male with penis and testicles, only in a dress, in with women and girls, many whom are rape survivors? She's a sick predator then and has no business teaching vulnerable innocent children. She has no business even being near children.

And even trans people admit they haven't changed their actual sex, so she is really fucked up in the head.

I'd consider reporting her to the authorities, tbh. I think she's a safeguarding threat to children.

This is all so sinister. This fake nice “inclusion for all” shtick.

Shocking what young children are being taught at school these days

The teacher is a stupid, wicked liar, propagandising to impressionable young children so. I wish you the best in your complaints.

I despair that these people are teaching our children.

Agreed.

Good to know that the teacher saw this thread. Then they'll have an idea of how unprofessionally they're behaving, gaslighting primary children with age inappropriate issues, working with queer theory lobby groups to indoctrinate them and indulging themselves with their personal interests rather than behaving in a professional manner.

Take your kids out of school for the day and tell the school why. If it were me I would say, ‘I don’t have a problem with age appropriate sex education but I am not on board with discussion of complex ideas regarding identity with young children. This event should have been advertised well in advance and discussed with parents first with, at the very least, alternative arrangements on offer for parents who do not subscribe to gender ideology and wish to protect their children from it.’

I’m really sorry to hear that @bonusjonasus.

If you want to take things further, there are lots of resources in both this thread:

I agree. If you can possibly summon the energy to make this a formal complaint, please do. You would get plenty of support here.

What was said in the meeting OP?

I think you should formally complain to the school about the lack of notice. Argue it does not allow enough time for you to prepare for any questions your DC may ask when coming home from school afterwards, nor allow for any parent with a conscientious objection to withdraw their child from the school for the day.

Then to the governors if no satisfactory answer, and ask them how it squares with the protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010.

It's unsurprising kids feel like this when they've been taught from 3 years old that that is the case. Its very unfair to these children who, until puberty, basically can "switch sex" and be perceived and treated no differently to any other little girl or boy. But then puberty hits and the hard truth that changing sex is not actually possible and they now need to either commit to a lifetime of medication and surgeries or go through "wrong sex" puberty. Well with the puberty blocker ban the second option is really the only option. That's very cruel and must be hard to accept.

Sorry if I’ve missed it, but how old is your child?
Also, what is the rainbow flag award? What is it awarded for?

Well the teacher is bang out of order. 'Equality for all' is impossible to achieve and society is actually better off with some discrimination.

Are they going to ask a paedophile in to talk about their sexual attraction?

Don't they exclude children who have vomited for 24/48 hours?

Sorry, I see that you said you would, I should have RTFT first.

If you can keep your child/ren off today I would.

Loads of these organisations seem to be interlinked and mostly funded by JPMorgan. JLM was in my DD school and I was equally concerned and did some digging. Was not pleased by what I found...

Grateful for the additional links and info on this thread.

And all those organisations are political activist groups. Schools are legally required to be politically neutral. Groups that push queer theory are not meant to have access to children to promote their niche political beliefs unless they're part of a balanced curriculum offer that explores all aspects of a political issue. Examples might be whether men can play in women's sport? What's the history of single sex spaces for women? Those issues could be discussed with contributions from both sides of the debate.
Pride activities in school fail to have that debate, promoting only regressive stereotypes and seeking to remove the rights of girls to single sex sports, showers, changing rooms etc.

Ah, that’s a better one than the one I linked!
