@school_sexed we have reviewed a book they wanted to get into every single secondary school in the country. Suffice to say, it's another huge #safeguarding fail. #edutwitter #EnoughIsEnough @GillianKeegan @RishiSunak

It is steeped in ideological language, it sexualises children, talks inaccuratly about biology, & does not talk about the dangers & reality of porn. It gives an introduction to polyamory and an uncritical mention of surrogacy - we would say it is written by activists not experts.
This image places the penis and vulva on a continuum, showing genitals as ‘variations’. This image perpetuates the myth that is possible to be neither male nor female. It is untrue, ideological, exploitative and will confuse children about biology. 
It is never appropriate for adults to discuss sex toys with children, but vibrators & butt plugs are mentioned several times, along with how they may be used (to be clear: the authors think this book is suitable for ten and eleven-year-olds).
The authors refuse to correctly identify which genitals belong to which sex which robs children of accurate vocabulary to describe their bodies. The word ‘mother’ is not mentioned once, and according to the book, it is “people” that become pregnant, not “women.”
We are once again appalled at this book & wonder just what is happening at the @educationgovuk for them to continually ignore the concerns raised by parents, teachers & other professionals. @GillianKeegan @RishiSunak what are you going to do about the state of RSE in our schools?
