Help me write to school about this LGBT+inclusion homework

[Aprilfoolaround]

I've just been checking through my year 7 daughter's homework and found this survey. It's optional. I am really passed off about it as the possible answers are not even correct in some cases. Dd had to ask Alexa the answers so god knows what ages answered but essentially she didn't understand what she was being asked. She's very scientific minded and as GC as a 12 year old can be I think. Her 14 year old sister doesn't get it either. I'm not sure I can attach all the screenshots so might have to put them in a collage.

Even non 'Stonewalled' schools are teaching gender ideology as fact. I have to teach a lesson on it in a few weeks. Am gearing myself up to challenge it....

Wishing you all the luck with this Valancy 💪💪💪

they are all either male or female though it may take additional testing to determine this.

I think we need to keep on repeating this about people with DSD. Their situations are too often used wrongly or in a cavalier way.

Don’t let her answer the questionnaire. Her opinions on these things are political - the school has no right to demand her to make political statements, even anonymously.

I've filled it in and made my views very clear especially on intersex being conflated and the whole teaching of ideology as fact. Sadly there wasn't a free text box to add anything else but I will be contacting the school about the complete lack of anything to do with the L or G. Seems a bit homophobic to me or that they are insinuating that homosexuality is not worth discussing or somehow unimportant.

That looks to me like some woke teacher knocked it together on survey monkey.

OED (Oxford English Dictionary) is your friend for most of these, see OED (Sign in free with your normal library card.)

So, for instance,
What does the term asexual mean?
-- Ans: (Other): 1. Biology. Lacking sexual organs or function. ... Also of reproduction: occurring without the fusion of male and female gametes, e.g. by fission, budding, or parthenogenesis; produced by such a process.

I suppose this (main, primary) definition could then be discussed by teacher and pupils with relation to other more, um, outré definitions or explanations.

But alternatively perhaps a parent might simply ask the school in question to stop being so silly, develop some common sense and get back to educating children.

Oh dear, you got that wrong!
