Stonewall poster in school telling students to fill in GRA

I was just in a school and saw a stonewall poster telling students to be good trans allies and fill in the gra consultation. Obviously out if date now but I'm alarmed to say the least. Do schools normally direct students to respond a certain way on political issues? It was a girls school as well. The safeguarding blindspot to self id continues to blow my mind. I was at a job interview and knew the school was pretty 'woke' but the direct poster on the GRA surprised me. I didn't see it until I was leaving so couldn't bring it up in interview, although I'd have probably been too terrified to bring it up anyway. The school is a great school providing fantastic opportunities for girls in a single sex environment...

Here is a video on the YouTube channel Pop'n'Olly, whose material is used and recommended by the current No Outsiders programme in primary schools. It is aimed at young children and encourages them to fill out the GRA consultation using Stonewall-supplied responses.

Why are lobby groups being allowed to advert like this in schools?

Wait until Jeremy Corbyn gets in on the act.

'Here nursery kids, learn how to vote Labour as Conservative/Lib/Green/ independent parties are all terribly bigoted and wrong'.

That is really massively inappropriate. Is there a safeguarding lead you could anonymously report to?

Campaigning groups seek access to schools or other groups of young people, and ask them to "write to their MP" or otherwise get involved with the democratic process. It shouldn't mean that they are dictating what the YPs tell the MPs, although obviously it slants it.
