In 2021, my year 7 child was exposed to an assembly where the teacher spoke about her ‘queer’ identity and said that companies should be donating more money to LGBT+ causes. It was a highly politicised personal speech, completely inappropriate for the audience.
The same teacher had written the school equality policy, which was full of conflation of sex and gender and other inaccuracies.
At the same school PSHE resources have incorrectly defined homosexuality as same-gender attracted and invited discussion about what ‘gender’ a person might be, whilst showing a picture of a female with short hair.
The school have been unable or unwilling to answer questions on safeguarding – for example the framework they use to work with pupils claiming a trans identity, and also regarding the ‘Gender & Sexuality Alliance’ club.
My experience has been that staff are under informed on the issues surrounding gender identity ideology and that activist teachers are not kept in check.
