What I suggest that the queer inclusion of bodies,
pleasures,
desires
in the place of education confounds " straight time", or heterosexuality 's linear future

'Simpletons and homophobic '
Muslims parents banners say,

"DON'T CONFUSE OUR CHILDREN "

#NoOutsiders

This is not only cos it tampers with the supposedly natural time & order
of the development of
innocent children
but more saliently,
it engages schools & children in a temporality not oriented..

The work of the #NoOutsiders Project

Note Educate & Celebrate at AP Primary

the elision of sexuality, pleasure, bodies & desire in schooling is said to protect the child's innocence & to protect it from the spectre of the child molester, a figure, conflated with the male homosexual recruitment & contagion

this idea of protecting childhood innocence

this idea of protecting childhood innocence denies children engagement with crucial knowledge, silencing children (and adults) & erasing their sexual agency
This adult and expert discourse of innocence-to-protect ...

Recap

TAMPERS with the natural time & order of the development of innocent children

PROTECTING childhood innocence denies children engagement with crucial knowledge, silencing children (and adults) & ERASING their SEXUAL AGENCY

Anderton Park uses Educate & Celebrate

twin Queer Theory projects embed Gender Identity/ Sexual Orientation into curriculum ages 3+

Under guise of anti-bullying, diversity, equality

'Safe, troubled & dangerous spaces'
Moffat & Atkinson examine

👆explore the ways in which the unspeakable -the recognition/ expression of non-normative gender & sexualites usually silenced/ forclosed in
primary education contexts

Imam caused outrage by losing it
over the Sex Ed resources (not taught at AP school)
'they keep saying that's not what we're teaching what's this Gingerbread (Gender Identity)
The people in that school don't feel sensitivity towards it 0:23 secs

👆Imam spoke of gingerbread man in connection with AP school

Gender identity is embedded by Educate & Celebrate trained staff at AP school
He held this resource up 👇
Judge Warby to my knowledge doesn't acknowledge gender identity teaching at school just 'equalities '

Yorkshire man really loses it & is mad at the Sex Ed materials he waves (rightly pointed out at court with kids present) says about the material as he holds them high

0: 18 secs
"Quick flashes quick flashes thats all we can do
this is paedophiles in there!"
pointing at paper

Yorkshire man says,
" There are paedophiles in there ( pointing)
I can't put half of it up
(Holds up another sheet) there are paedophiles in there !
This is a paedophilia agenda!
There are paedophiles in there!"

birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

Yorkshire man doesn't SAY the school or resources or paedophilia agenda is at the school directly as Court & media states

he does with the Gingerbread man that is used to teach gender identity

Gender identity IS embedd at Anderton Park,
staff trained by Educate & Celebrate

Educate & Celebrate is mentioned in court as having trained staff but NEVER in media before the court case

Strategic
So we don't connect Moffat,
No Outsiders author & his earlier project Challenging Homophobia In Primary Schools ( CHIPS) is taught without parents consent

Anderton Park HT Clarkson
bought in CHIPs in 2014 as reported without parental consultation

Parents also say she didn't consult in 2019
Court sees school/ HT can do no wrong

All focus is on protesters actions only
surprisingly

theguardian.com/education/2014…

CHIPS is gender identity/sexual orientation biased anti-bullying resource

Parents always framed as homophobic or backward

👆See guardian article

Safe at School campaign website says CHIPS can also be seen as priming susceptibile young children for gay sex later "

Reminder
No Outsiders author Moffat wrote his CHIPS anti-bullying resource as part of Educate & Celebrate team

He was 1 of 16 teacher-researchers on the No Outsiders project 2006-2008
from Interrogating Heteronormativity in Primary Schools paper
started this thread

Elly Barnes CE0 teams with Moffat for CHIPS anti- bullying resource which embeds gender identity/Ssexual orientation at ages 3+

CHIPS is a No Outsiders baby & twin Educate & Celebrate project

Strategically kept out of media & no real comments after Birmingham CC v Anderton Park Protesters court case

"Throughout this resource reference is made to an ethos of "No Outsiders "
2006-2008 project"

Safe at Schools campaign & Muslim/ Christian parents are 'homophobes' & 'bigots '
if agenda was different familes & gay people exist

What about in light of the truth of the No Outsiders project?

Indoctrination
Sexualisation
Against our moral/religious philosophies

Gender identity is not law or in the Equality Act

Relationships & Sex Ed (RSE) schools must consult with parents,
must take background & the moral/ religious philosophies into account
must be age- appropriate

Belief/ Religion is protected characteristic in Equality Act

Should anti-bullying resources, 'equalites',
diversity & Inclusivity ethos be forced on kids from another protected characteristic & infringe on their rights

Sex erased as protected characteristic also,
girls rights impacted the most

Time to debate now
we have more facts

Is this sexualisation of kids against most parents moral philosophies?

This supposed childhood innocence that Moffat & teacher researchers in No Outsiders project resent

Going beyond govn guidelines to destabilising the identities of all kids in their formative years,
ethical?
