How activist teachers recruit children in US.

Terrifying read.

Thank you Scraggythang for this.
I can guarantee that similar is happening in British schools. Apart from the dubious trans guidelines that "advise" schools to transition children without their parents knowledge, I know of one secondary school that has an unqualified "mentor" for children believing they can change sex. Zero psychology / child development or medical qualifications. Very professionally dangerous.
I know of several schools where teachers actively recruit children to attend the LGBT groups that they run. Now imagine heterosexual teachers recruiting particular children to attend groups they're running at lunchtimes about sex and sexuality??
None of these groups ask for parental consent and there's an alarming thread on here from a parent who has uncovered a completely unregulated by the school group where the teacher allows older pupils to run sessions with younger children.

There's a massive naivety amongst school leaderships about the safeguarding risks these unsupervised groups pose and a stupidity and arrogance amongst the adults running them in believing that it's their role as teachers to open up these discussions with children in their care.

I am dealing with exactly this - in England. First term of yr7 has turned her into a self-loathing and alienated wreck.
Apparently her sixth form mentor has been welcoming her to their Sexuality and Gender association 'club'. Have had a face to face meeting with school and written a long detailed letter asking for safeguarding assessment. Got nowhere.
About to draw up a formal complaint.
Have woken in a nightmare, estranged from my mighty girl - although am

.....changing that gradually.
Can't fathom how we got here, although am educating myself.
Found this today:

The link is to the recently formed Evidence-based Social Work Alliance - Uk

Please make sure you scroll down in glinner's article and watch the powerful, raw, angry speech by the mother and share it widely.

@DoubleTweenQueen how awful for you. It’s a hideous mess. I can see the backlash coming, but it’s the casualties in the meantime that that concern me. Parental and human rights nightmare. Stay strong 💪

It’s definitely happening here, thanks to Stonewall using similar tactics I assume.

It is a mess. The "inclusion" and "bring your whole self to work" mantras have led many teachers to fail to appreciate that recognising different sexualities with lesbian and gay teachers quite rightly not having to fear being outed (as those of us who taught in the 70s / 80s feared) does not mean that it's OK to actively involve children in adult discussions about sexuality.
It's a challenging dynamic as children are naturally curious. But all adults working with children have to establish boundaries, disclosing only limited information about our lives. Setting up groups to discuss sexuality is inappropriate for schools. It's outside their educational remit but as Stonewall / trans lobby groups have captured the DfE, civil servants, unions etc none of them now dare challenge any of this and put in place safeguarding boundaries.

The casualties will be some children.

@DoubleTweenQueen oh for sure. It’s scary to think how bad this needs to get before the rest of society takes notice and the press gets braver in it’s coverage. At the moment it feels like smacking your head against a brick wall, screaming into the abyss… friends think I’m believing in a conspiracy theory… I guess I would feel the same if I didn’t do the research.

@Scraggythang I might have thought you were slightly crackpot too, a month or so ago! Can't quite fathom the reach of this now though. It should be unbelievable :(

@DoubleTweenQueen it’s flown under the radar. Unless you’ve had something peak your interest and started to dig further, there’s no way you would necessarily have known. The reporting on this has been sparse and not widespread, for dubious reasons. And as you touched upon in your previous post, it was not so long ago in our history that homophobia was tolerated and ruined many people’s lives, this movement relies heavily on public guilt and putting gender identity and homosexuality in the same box.

The whole thing reads as a conspiracy, but the facts and real lives affected mean it sadly isn’t. Which is why we are all so obsessed and frustrated. How this isn’t bigger news is shocking.
