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

Thanks @Sunkisses, I have had a good look through our school's and can't see anything that concerns me. Perhaps they're on it, or maybe I'm naive.

I'll definitely have a good look through the website resources you suggest, thanks.

FFS. Where is fucking Lang when you need her? This is a safeguarding shitshow. For various reasons I can't type much atm but I will point a friend this way as she was questioning what the 'end game' was for all of this yesterday whilst discussing JKR. I said PIE and she thought I was being a twat.

ASDA stay in your aisle indeed.

It is demoralising, but parents can achieve things just look at what Safe Schools Alliance has achieved with so few resources and Transgender Trend.

fairplayforwomen.com/chromosomes-biological-sex-gender/
I've only been aware of these issues since the GRA consultation after a friend pointed me to Fair Play for Women then you can't un see what is going on.

I was very much live and let live but unfortunately there is a sinister side. It is my duty to protect my daughters and build a society where they have rights protected.

I have made a difference as an individual. I've ensured my school quotes the Equality Act protected characteristics correctly (should say sex not gender). I've got harmful trans toolkit took down for my county. I've had Transgender Trend listed on the LGBT advice pages on a county website as an alternative to Mermaids who only believe in affirmation. We can make a difference, you just need to take a regular break to detox and re-energise.

You don't need to reinvent the wheel the above mentioned grass roots organisations have loads of resources and letter templates.

But most importantly I have buying power. This morning I was on the Asda website ordering a microwave and some clothes, needless to say I did not complete the order once I read about this and their cover up had made me even more angry. I have two Asdas in my locality but I won't be spending there anymore.

Yep, where the fuck is Lang indeed.

Emailed Roger Burnley for all the good it will do

Let’s ask MNHQ if we can have a webchat with a safeguarding expert . I can think of one who’d be great but if that name is not acceptable then another safeguarding expert to put our questions to.

Sadly it's not just Adds. Warwickshire Council had to take down the Respect Yourself website because of some seriously questionable material. I can't remember if it was them that included discussion about bestiality in their education. Maybe someone with a better memory can correct me.

This kind of material is everywhere and after children have been taught this in school they can go to university to learn about Queer Theory.

Yep, where the fuck is Lang indeed.

I was always hopeful that Lang's spirit might be channeled through another user!

So that's the Proud Trust (mentioned above) with their "game' for school children about anal sex being funded by local authorities & the Tampon Tax. And Asda funding Diversity Role Models to the tune of £100,000 for this stuff.
It needs repeating - no child should ever be exposed to materials like this in schools or at home via a supermarket. Safeguarding should be the highest priority. With so many children are being home educated maybe Ofsted should be investigating organisations sending this stuff into people's homes?

There are many Langs on FWR.

Formidable, intelligent women. Fighting the fight.

@FemaleAndLearning 🌻🌻🌻

You have done fantastic things, and you are absolutely right - this war will be won at the grassroots. Everyone has a part to play.

Be vigilant, always.

Be critical of everything. Think, read, and challenge.

Speak up about it where you can. Even if you only ever get one person on side, you will be part of the solution.

Quite.

I am gobsmacked

@FemaleAndLearning thanks for the pep talk.

Less despairing, more activity.

I'd like to encourage everyone who is concerned about this issue to write to their MPs too, and make sure they know your feelings.

It's really not acceptable that safeguarding is brushed under the carpet under the guise of inclusivity.

I don't know if it's been pointed out, but the original PDFs are still up on Diversity Role Models's website, and the links in the George email still link to the original PDFs. They have only uploaded the edited PDFs and changed the link on their website.

What a shit show. NYC Thanks for pointing that out. I’m going to have a look now as I’ve just managed to get to the end of the thread.

email Asda: [email protected]

Has Asda addressed this?

It’s the same (I think) as 8 looked at way way back. Why the bloody hell are they talking about being attracted to men / women or both etc to little kids? Match these terms up. What a shit exercise. Grooming.

I won't be spending a single penny in Asda after learning all this, can't quite believe what I'm reading

That’s how I felt about the NSPCC employee wanking in the works toilets whilst wearing a rubber outfit and putting footage of it online.

And then their Twitter people telling us we were homophobes for pointing out how inappropriate it was.

And then some months later it transpired that they had very quietly let him go.

The NSPCC, for fucks sake!

Totally. Each new scandal feels like the one that will be the final straw. And it isn’t. How big does it need to be?

I wrote to my MP about the Proud Trust using taxpayer money to indoctrinate children about the joy of anal sex. It’s so obviously appalling it’s a no brainer. And it’s not an intractable problem like poverty that can feel beyond any one of us. Perfect issue for her to engage with and do something about. She’s on the Women as Equalities Committee ffs.

No reply. When will the world wake up ?

I've emailed ASDA, not that I think they'll care. This may be triggering (child abuse related) so please don't read on if that's the case for you. I have name changed for this as my main account is quite outing if you know me and usually that's fine.

Good evening.

I have been reading with some upset and dismay, the information that is being promoted by ASDA and distributed in schools with regards to sexuality and the like. I was in particular horrified by the material shown in the picture I have attached. This may be too much information, but as a mother of a daughter, in the interests of protecting others, I am willing to share my story.

For the person telling that story, to say that he was sexually mature and that he enjoyed performing sexual acts on others at age 6 was very upsetting to me.

For 6 year old me, when this happened, my abuser, not much older, aged 8, enjoyed it. I did not. I cried myself to sleep every night for most of my childhood. I felt shame and guilt around sexual activity for many years because my abuser took from me any confidence I would ever have around myself. I have been overweight most of my life to discourage any kind of sexual interest in me.
This has affected me every day of my life since then, emotionally and physically. It was abuse, it is abuse, it is not sexual maturity. This should not be normalised.

I felt shame, guilt and sadness that these things happened to me. To be reading that that it isn't bad, that it was normal and totally natural, diminishes my rightful feelings of being wronged. It may stop an abused child speaking out, and to allow a child to suffer more for some agenda or other is despicable and I can not, will not, stand by whilst this is happening.

Remove the stigma of abuse from the victims, not from the perpetrators.

I look forward to your response.

Ive just been reading on Twitter

mobile.twitter.com/ripx4nutmeg/status/1272798823925104642. I don’t know if anyone has an account on there but it might be nice to make people aware about the £100,000 payment Asda have paid to promote this group.
