I’m appealing to headteachers to stop the SRE curriculum immediately. Educators cannot afford to ‘wait’ until perhaps a transparent enquiry is conducted. The clock is ticking whilst damage is being done. This is not OK:

This is what I think: How long is this UK Government enquiry going to take? Surely all SRE (Sex and Relationship Education) should be stopped immediately pending a full enquiry. Time delays are the equivalent of being fobbed off. Meanwhile children are not being safeguarded. And rational children who are older are losing respect for teachers.
Drag Queen story time is not acceptable. There are thousands of families expressing their deep concern about this development including by approaching their children’s schools, their local members of parliament, signing petitions and active protesting. I myself have heard from people from America and the UK – parents and teachers – who are deeply worried about the developments in their countries and in their children’s infant, primary and secondary schools regarding Drag Queen story times, gender identification, curriculum content that is not transparently available to parents, and associated issues. It is looking, however, that not only children are being groomed, but many of the teachers themselves. Some teachers have told me it is impossible to broach their worries in the staffroom about curriculum content (and its effect on children) such is the intensity and differing of opinions of this topic:

Buried quite deeply in the Daily Mail article is the statistic of 14,000+ people signing a petition to protest this event. That is not a small ‘right wing’ fringe group:
“A petition against the event was signed by more than 14,000 after being created by the group Art Not Propaganda.
The petition demands Tate stop imposing ‘gender ideology’ on children and claims that, as a state-funded institution, Tate is accountable to the public.
Previously, a spokesperson for the Tate said: ‘We do not programme artists in order to promote particular points of view, nor to reconcile differing points of view.
‘Our galleries offer a broad programme and visitors have the freedom to choose which aspects of it they engage with.’
Women’s Rights Network’s Claire Loneragan, previously said: ‘Drag Queen Story Hour is very far from the innocuous presence that many people assume.
‘Quite aside from the fact that drag is adult sexualised entertainment, children are already being force-fed gender ideology — drag further normalises this in the adult world and confuses them.’
The Met and Tate Britain have been contacted for a comment.”
Meanwhile, Nicola Sturgeon is feeling the backlash of ‘gender reform’ in Scotland (please note: Nicola Sturgeon went on to resign as First Minister on 15th Feb 2023, staying in post only until the Scottish National Party finds a replacement):

The descriptions of sex and relationship activities described in Miriam Cates report are totally unacceptable – and the mere notion that the curriculum is not transparent to parents, and withheld from parents, is outrageous. Whose children are these? NOT the state’s:

How many children and young people have already had their minds and psychology filled with ideas that are not age-appropriate or, quite frankly, unacceptable as standard curriculum content:

If any teaching unions are promoting Drag Queen Storytime in schools, this is a disgraceful development. The world has gone mad in whichever direction we look – heartbreaking and totally unacceptable. If I had school aged children now, they would not be attending school to be groomed in the care of the school. This is not ‘care’:

I find it very unacceptable that schools are passing judgements on parents who are concerned about the LGBT++ content and ethos currently being delivered in schools that, arguably, are not the domain of schools – and certainly the rights of schools over children should not be greater than the parents for their own children – this is outrageous:

I’ve started a new thread featuring this issue of truly inappropriate curriculum content in our primary and secondary schools – starting with a short, powerful and important statement by Anna Loufti describing that The Bad Law Project intends to sue the Department for Education (in England) for the PSHE content in our schools – this is a ‘must watch’ statement of a VERY IMPORTANT issue:
