I wonder if theres a way to use The Equality Act to challenge this?

Are you really surprised?
As we've seen at several schools recently the only people that trump them and manage to draw a line in the sand are Muslim parents.

I'm not at all surprised but we need to put the pressure on them to know it's not acceptable!

Signed ffs what is wrong with theses idiots stopping women from talking

Signed. Particularly angry as my local women's network has refused permission to advertise a lesbian event...as unsuitable. I know it's not a feminist group but I wasn't expecting this ... Women and lesbians are expected to shut up.

Signed
