It's all so shocking, the absolute abandonment of journalistic integrity, the abandonment of proper safeguarding in schools, and perhaps most chillingly the abandonment of schools being willing to work co-operatively with parents. Viewing of reasonable requests by parents as aggression - why? You only act that way if you have something very damning to hide.
Thank you those women who are brave enough to fight this very clear injustice which goes against all the principles schools are supposed to sign up to - that they are acting in the children's best interests.
However, most parents - especially those struggling to feed, clothe and house their families - would be silenced.
It's clear in this example, just as with Vebrithien's thread, the parent is being seen as an aggressor - simply for asking why the hell their child has come home talking about 'heteronormativity' and 'sex-positivity', which any decent parent would. The fact they've described this parent as in 'bad faith' is just staggering - when it's clear this parent was initially acting very much in their child's best interest and now in all children and parent's best interests (thank you).
The fact they denied access to resources is illegal - and goes against KCSIE - the statutory safeguarding guidance. When are heads going to roll over this? Why is one of the chief architects of this staggering safeguarding failure invited on BBC Radio 4 to justify their safeguarding failures?
Personally I think it should now be illegal to use outside organisations which are not bound by the same safeguarding rules as schools (staff with enhanced DBS and trained on KCSIE every year).
What they are doing in these lessons fits the description of abuse in KCSIE for goodness sake! It IS - as described by the statutory safeguarding guidance for all schools - abusive.
