Another three councils drop their ‘trans toolkits’
Dear marriage supporter,
We recently wrote to you with several pieces of good news in the battle against harmful transgender ideology. I am pleased to say that there is now more to share.
After being threatened with legal action, Warwickshire and Oxford Council pulled misleading materials which promoted transgenderism in schools. Increasing concerns over the legality of the ‘trans toolkits’ has now seen Shropshire, Kent and Barnsley councils follow suit.
These ‘toolkits’ promote transgenderism to young people. They encourage schools to allow pupils who identify as the opposite sex to use their preferred toilets or changing rooms – even “sleep where they feel most comfortable”.
A 14-year-old girl is threatening fresh legal action against the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) over its controversial LGBT hate-crime guidance for schools.
The unnamed girl recently forced the CPS to drop guidance warning schools they could face prosecution if they did not allow boys into girls’ changing rooms.
She is now arguing that the CPS will be unable to review that guidance properly, due to its alliance with Stonewall. The brave girl has told the CPS to withdraw from Stonewall’s Diversity Champions programme, which gives awards to employers who promote LGBT ideology.
By seeking to destroy what it means to be ‘male’ and ‘female’, transgender ideology undermines true marriage – that between a man and a woman. This momentum against it is great to see. We hope it will continue.

But it is not all good news:
Teachers at Archbishop Sentamu Academy in east Hull asked 11 to 14-year-olds to "define pornography, soft pornography, hardcore pornography and transsexual pornography, as well as female genital mutilation, wet dreams, trafficking, male circumcision, breast ironing and more."
The Mirror reports that "a mum was 'fuming' after her 11-year-old daughter's schoolwork asked her to define hardcore pornography and other topics she deemed 'inappropriate'.
"Youngsters in years 7, 8 and 9 were set the work for their Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) class, as part of their home-learning during the coronavirus school shut down."
Following complaints from parents, the academy apologised for any offence caused.
The children were also asked questions about alcohol, drugs and smoking.
Recalling my own recollections of childhood and my experience of parenthood, I'd say that eleven's too young for exploration of these topics, but then both relate to a time before the internet came to be. But, especially given the ubiquity of the net, I can certainly see the relevance of some of them for kids 13 - 14+.
ReplyDeleteIn fifth form, we had a careers advisor come to visit. We all had interviews with him. He asked me what I thought I wanted to do / be. I said I wanted to be a priest. (I was 16 at the time). The response was, for goodness sake, you are far too young to think of that as an option!
ReplyDeleteHow right he was!
DeleteI take it that, as you self-identify as an organist rather than as a cleric, that you took his advice?!
DeleteYep. Music won!
DeleteSound choice, give how things have evolved?!
DeleteWhoops - 'given' ...
