Sex ed law in Wales

[ArabellaScott]

This is from last week, I coudln't see a thread on it:

' the Welsh Government has come in for criticism for almost entirely removing the word “sex” from its curriculum along with the terms male and female.
...

Welsh Conservative Shadow education minister Laura Anne Jones claimed children are being "indoctrinated" in gender identity ideology.

“The erasure of sex undermines safeguarding and erodes the concepts of privacy, boundaries and consent putting girls particularly at risk.

“A code where girls and women are invisible, apart from a reference to their bodily functions, is more than counter-intuitive.

“Girls and women exist, and it is staggering a small minority are trying to erase us from society.”

Plaid’s Sioned Williams said opposition raised during the consultation to the code earlier this year “often masked prejudice and discriminatory attitudes against transgender people”.

Staggering how anybody even raising the subject of women, girls, or women's rights now has accusations of being 'discriminatory against transgender people' thrown at them directly.

Plaid’s Sioned Williams said opposition raised during the consultation to the code earlier this year “often masked prejudice and discriminatory attitudes against transgender people”.

The prejudice and discriminatory attitudes towards women and girls however are wholly unmasked and wandering around helicoptering.

If I lived in Wales I’d insist on my child not attending PSHE lessons or set up home school.

I understand that in Wales you cannot remove your child from these lessons so you would have to home school or look at private education.

'The Code was debated for 30 minutes in the Senedd before members voted to make it mandatory '

A whole 30 minutes.

'The Code was debated for 30 minutes in the Senedd before members voted to make it mandatory '

A whole 30 minutes.

That's how quickly women can be erased by a government

Stand by your votes, guys. It won't be long before women having a political voice gets really inconvenient. And we've seen how fast it gets ripped away.

The debate is here:
www.senedd.tv/Meeting/Archive/5cb9f4be-1fae-4c74-9ec2-3282c78f7360?autostart=True

It starts at 4h 42 mins in.

The only people who voted against this were the Tories. Labour and Plaid are totally captured.

I do live in Wales and when the time comes I'll make sure that any kids of mine are kept well clear of state education here. I simply don't trust anything run by the WAG. Just got to see how sensible the local privates are.

It's so shocking this should be necessary though. So many people have no real possibility of removing their children from state funded education. It's very wrong.

I've come to think that state funded schools need to stay well out of values based topics, apart from requiring respect within the school and looking at different ways of thinking. But not promoting any. They just aren't the right place to drive social change, no matter how good we might think that change would be.

It is tough in Wales. However people are getting organised, and protesting with Merched Cymru and Wales-Women’s Rights Network . We finally got some coverage in Welsh media too. Going to be a long long haul from the looks of things because the Welsh Labour/Plaid totally buy into genderism.

Ordinary people don't really agree with it, but they are generally ignored and don't realise what is happening.

Have they also applied this to the biology syllabus? What about other words donating sex that might be relevant in farming communities - ewe/ram, bull/cow, boar/sow, hen/Cockerel, duck/drake?

Thanks for the link, OldCrone. I searched on 'Wales' and didn't find it!

Merched Cymru are doing wonderful work, more power to them.
