Why are ASDA normalising paedophilia and Child Abuse?

[Sunkisses]

Is it OK for ASDA to send parents emails linking to an organisation that normalises paedophilia with red flag phrases such as "love has no age", and recommending books for children that contain explicit descriptions of child sex abuse? Why are they doing this? Are ASDA experts in home schooling and safeguarding? More details in this excellent thread by Safe Schools Alliance: twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1272638132589035520

@AntsInPenzance I’m with you. People do get hysterical though about their kids being ‘turned’ trans or gay by being taught age appropriate diversity. The post early in the thread about ASDA selling mermaid and unicorn clothing for kids is particularly batshit... next it’ll be complaints that llamas are somehow subversively furthering the ‘gay’ agenda.

Walmart have very little to do with the running of asda. Walmart buy large chain supermarkets to increase their buying power.

Asda is run from the UK. They pay walmart to do some process some high volume HR work, just as processing holidays etc.

This wouldn't have even hit walmarts radar. Probably still won't.

Are people contacting Asda to complain about this?

They could have done something useful like teach about nutrition and healthy eating.

Oh no, we'll talk to children about sex. Not same sex / other relationships which most kids are used to now with having friends or relatives with two mummies / daddies etc. But oral sex for a six year olds.

This is so worth tweeting Walmart over. I can't imagine they'd be very impressed. I don't agree with their right wing Christian stance but I do agree this needs gone ASAP.

Hit 'post' too soon.

I'm truly fed up of supermarkets, banks etc trying to get involved in social issues, campagns etc - they usually fuck it up (like Asda have) and it just smacks of them 'parenting' us somehow - it's just not their remit.

montyliesandmontycries aww it must be lovely living a world that is so black and white.

I'd be more than happy if my dc have gay relationships when they are older as long as they feel happy, respected and safe. I hope we have cleared this up.

These materials are not going to turn anyone gay. However they are promoting child abuse. Have you actually read the Magenta book extract? It normalises child abuse of a 6 year old.

Telling children that love know now age limit is grooming them. If the slogan is only about older people, why include it in a Sex ed PDF for primary school kids? For what purpose. Sure they see tehir grandparents holding ands, do they know they have sex? bleurgh.

@montyliesandmontycries my daughter is gay. I don't believe anyone turned her gay. It was the biggest non issue in our family. No issue even from my very strict Catholic mother.

If a company is going to affiliate themselves with an organisation, they absolutely should look at that organisation and their whole message and any negative sides of it.

And asda absolutely did, but still chose this organisation to affiliate themselves with.

You may be surprised to find that lots of gay people are unhappy, with the message of 'age doesn't matter. Because it absolutely does.

You will also find that many gay people do not support this organisation, for exactly this reason.

Any adult interested in talking to kids about sex is a pedo.

It didnt take long for the enablers to show up with accusations of hysteria.

If you aren't angry at gay and non gender conforming children being told they are in the wrong body, the story of a 6 year old giving oral sex, or the fact this is being promoted via a supermarket you are probably on the wrong website.

Is Walmart conservative? I'd love to be privy to the conversation between the Asda wokies and their US bosses. I hope they will be dealt with robustly.

Why have the red tops not picked this up and where the Asda's statement?

ASDA are Foul.

This seems like a small cock up in a very informative and helpful pack. May have meant that there's no age limit on learning about the different sexualitues/types of relationships people have.

As for this whole 'pushing the trans ideology' thing...

You can't turn a kid trans the same way you can't turn a kid gay. 90% of people on mumsnet need to get over themselves and stop being such transphobic bigots. I'd rather raise my kids to understand any trans peers they may come across than be as toxic as you lot

‘actually read the Magenta book extract?’

The extract that isn’t actually in any of those resources? Or are my eyes worse than I thought?

We will be switching to Morrisons who are supporting food banks and creating safe spaces in their supermarkets for victims of DV. No preaching, no questionable outsourcing of resources aimed at children, just practical solutions.

And yes "love" is absolutely used to groom children. "Love" is not a magic wand that makes everything ok. Children can be told they are loved and still be abused, either through neglect or through abuse. Love and all that rainbows and unicorns crap is being used to put a brake on people's thinking skills.

Supermarkets don't need to teach children about love and nor should they. Especially not under lockdown where the usual safeguarding frameworks of school are not available to most.

If this campaign is about diversity then make it about diversity, not love. Better still let's have Asda campaign about something it can actually do something about like food and cooking and health. Or in-work poverty...

as for the Magenta extract...Jesus.

@montyliesandmontycries

Have you read the resources? Where is the ‘promotion’ of paedophilia? They’re resources available for anyone who wishes to use them- if you don’t find them useful or want to use them then don’t.

Peter - is that you?

Isn't it fascinating how people come to the thread to tell people off for noticing inexcusable and wholly unacceptable safeguarding breaches?

While implying that you're silly for not being broadminded enough.

And generally signalling at you to sit down, shut up, accept your ignorance in minding about such progressive stuff and Let It Roll.

No thanks. I support safeguarding and safety for children. I don't support progressive adults pushing boundaries for their own reasons. And I am LGBT before you add the slur mentioned a few times through here that minding about all this is somehow homophobic.

‘Any adult interested in talking to kids about sex is a pedo.’

And does that include their teachers in PSHE or not? ASDA are ‘talking’ to kids, their providing some resources that some adults might find useful.
Not most the ones on her obviously.

How can anyone describe introducing anal sex as normal and the description of child sexual abuse as a small cock up. It wasn't missed. No one fucking misses a page about a 6 year old giving a blow job! It was deliberate and unveils the whole agenda.

Aren’t...

You can't turn a kid trans the same way you can't turn a kid gay. 90% of people on mumsnet need to get over themselves and stop being such transphobic bigots.

You can’t ‘turn a kid trans’ but you can contribute to a culture where children and/or adolescents mistakenly attribute the after effects of trauma or the struggles of puberty to gender dysphoria and attempt to transition in the belief it will resolve that distress.

Just ask the growing numbers of desisters/detransitioners/reidentified women.

Michelle you mean like the way some ppl piled on the people tweeting the NSPCC that having a staff member post photos of themselves in the work toilets in a rubber fetish suit was a very serious safeguarding issue, to call them homophobes and bigots?

Only for the NSPCC to quietly suspend & then fire the person later proving that there was in fact a safeguarding issue after all? That sort of thing?

I agree, if society has become so regressive that a boy liking sparkles means they’re born in the wrong body as opposed to being just a boy who likes sparkles, then you really can turn them trans. Kids should just be taught that is perfectly okay for anyone to have any interests they want

That makes me so angry that people says kids don't need to know about different types of relationship. Of course they do! We went to a wedding when DD1 was 3, and DD2 was a newborn - DD1 knew from then on that girls could marry girls and boys could marry boys. Even though some kids at nursery tried to tell her otherwise.

The DVD DD2 watched in Y5 last year was from the early noughties, before section 28 was repealed. No mention of "you may have feelings for someone of the same sex" at puberty. Unbelieveable in this day and age.
