It is #RainbowDay of #SchoolDiversityWeek. Here is a roundup of all the issues with @JustLikeUsUK’s resources. We first wrote to @GavinWilliamson expressing concerns a year ago. It is very worrying to see
@educationgovuk still promoting them.

KS1 (age 5-7) maths resources which seem to be more about indoctrination than improving mathematics skills in small children.

#SchoolDiversityWeek

Irresponsible attitude towards suicide. Imagine being a teen just realising you are same sex attracted & being told this means you may kill yourself? Or being told being black means you may kill yourself? Where are the @samaritans?
#RainbowDay #DiverseEd

Claims that secondary aged pupils may be taking cross sex hormones.

#RainbowDay #SchoolDiversityWeek

Denial of lesbians rights to be same sex attracted and libelling of lesbian rights group @GetTheLOutUK

#RainbowDay #SchoolDiversityWeek #WomenEd #edutwitter

Guidance on supporting ‘trans’ pupils in schools. This contains all the same inaccuracies as many other toolkits which have had to be withdrawn following legal action.

#RainbowDay #SchoolDiversityWeek #LGBTedchat

Links to contentious resources that schools should not be using.

#RainbowDay #SchoolDiversityWeek

Political indoctrination of small children just beginning to learn to read.

#RainbowDay #SchoolDiversityWeek

We have looked through the hashtags #RainbowFriday #RainbowDay #SchoolDiversity week to see what schools are doing. Are they using resources from @JustLikeUsUK? Some schools are doing some lovely diversity & inclusion based around their own communities. #edutwitter #WomenEd ImageImageImageImage
There are a lot of rainbows on #RainbowFriday #RainbowDay #SchoolDiversity that while we’re not sure what the learning objective is or what’s being achieved, look pretty harmless. ImageImageImageImage
And then there is political indoctrination (including of what appear to be quite young children) & homophobia all wrapped up in a bright rainbow bow. Don’t believe us? Check the hashtags #SchoolDiversityWeek #rainbowfriday #RainbowDay using resources from @JustLikeUsUK & others ImageImageImageImage
Was this really what you intended with LGBT inclusive education @educationgovuk? Credulous school staff with seemingly no understanding of #safeguarding telling same sex attracted teens that this means they are ‘non-men’ or ‘non-women’. This is homophobia.

#SchoolDiversityWeek
Parents you need to #CheckYourSchools what are they actually teaching for #SchoolDiversityWeek #rainbowfriday #RainbowDay? Is it #inclusion? Or is it homophobia & political indoctrination?
If it is inappropriate complain & contact @Ofstednews.

1. Children questioning whether they are trans need shielding from content on @cbbc & Childline, a mother has said…
Both the @BBC & the @NSPCC, which runs Childline, have come in for criticism for providing a one-sided view of transitioning.” #LGBT

2. We have reviewed the guidance provided by @NSPCC (lesson resources and guidelines) and @childline (guidance on their website). We have concerns with the content they have produced. See our report here: safeschoolsallianceuk.net/resources-2/fa…
3. Let’s look at all the ways their resources breach @educationgovuk This thread includes examples and is not exhaustive. Read the full guide for a thorough analysis.

“Supporting trans pupils in school” from @JustLikeUsUK for #SchoolDiversityWeek

They state ‘do not share this document with staff outside of your school’. We wonder why?

Is it because it undermines #safeguarding? Breaches guidance & law or says biological sex is a spectrum?
#SchoolDiversityWeek promotion of puberty blockers taking no account of #KeiraBell ruling. Repeated conflation of sex with gender.

#WomenEd #Teachertwitter #edutwitter
More misrepresentations of the law and undermining of #safeguarding from @justlikeus for #SchoolDiversity week. Advising hiding of child’s sex & mixed sex facilities, leaving schools open to legal action.

Next up from @JustLikeUsUK for #SchoolDiversityWeek we have this libelling of Julia Long (pictured).Julia & other lesbians have every right to assert their same sex attraction at a #pride march. Denying this is homophobic/misogynistic & a breach of 1996 Education Act. #WomenEd
Julia Long is a lesbian feminist activist. She campaigns against porn & the damage it causes women & girls as well as being a researcher for the femicide census #CountingDeadWomen. Julia & her wife @sargesalute are excellent role models for lesbian & gender non conforming girls.
We are appalled that @JustLikeUsUK are telling girls, just becoming aware that they are same sex attracted that they have no right to exclude ‘lesbians’ with penises from their dating pool. This is #rapeculture. It is abhorrent that @educationgovuk are endorsing this.

Inclusion & inclusive language: Balancing the rights of all.
This morning we have seen a lot of confusion in the education community regarding sex & gender, when children should & shouldn’t be separated by sex & ‘inclusive’ language.

#edutwitter #WomenEd #UKedchat
‘People who menstruate’ is not ‘inclusive’ language. It is offensive & dehumanising. When used in public health campaigns it excludes many women. Women with LD’s, women with EAL, women with poor literacy skills. The @educationgovuk is clear that it is girls who menstruate.
As well as being offensive (it is akin to the old fashioned misogynistic slur ‘bleeders’) ‘people who menstrate’, ‘cervix havers’, ‘uterus owners’ & all the other appalling euphemisms used for women & girls. It is politically motivated language & as such has no place in school.

Once again we have problems in Warwickshire. @EquipEquality1 are misrepresenting the Equality Act to schools. Are you endorsing this @Warwickshire_CC? Have you not learnt from previous debacles?

@ChtyCommission is it acceptable to misrepresent the law?

headsup.warwickshire.gov.uk/assets/1/equip… Image
You can read about previous issues in Warwickshire on our website. These include @Warwickshire_CC promoting a resource called ‘respect yourself’ that among other #safeguarding concerns told children that bukkake was empowering.

#edutwitter #WomenEd

safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2019/11/05/cou…
For anybody who would like to know what ‘bukkake’ is without googling, this is how @Warwickshire_CC described it - to children. They also graphically described ‘fisting’, ‘felching’, ‘sunflowering’ & how normal it was for 12 year olds to be addicted to porn - to children. Image

Please keep signing & sharing this petition. The response from @NSPCC & @peterwanless has been unacceptable. This video must be withdrawn & lessons learnt about #safeguarding.

#everyonesinvited

@proftanya @ChildrensComm

ipetitions.com/petition/open-…
This is the latest response we have received from @NSPCC ‘supporter care’ (@peterwanless didn’t have the courtesy to reply himself). This is unacceptable. If Childline are no longer endorsing this video, they need to say why. All other unsuitable material must also be withdrawn
This video is still up on YouTube, stating that it was made in conjunction with Childline. If the @NSPCC no longer endorse this video they need to say so & ensure its removal. It has been viewed 3m+ times & is still being promoted by @ScotGovEdu rshp.scot/wp-content/upl…
