Thread for ‘but is this happening in schools’ #Edutwitter. Yes it is. Firstly personal testimony: “the school nurse had referred her to the school counsellor [who] informed [her] that a hatred of one’s breasts could be an indicator of a non-binary” safeschoolsallianceuk.net/our-stories/ou…

More testimony: “I am utterly horrified at what was taught at a PSHE lesson at my school recently. It was to a group of children, most are 11-12 years old. It is so, so much worse than I thought.” #Edutwitter #DiverseEd #LGBT

safeschoolsallianceuk.net/our-stories/ou…

More personal testimony: “We did request to see their transgender policy and it was kafkaesque – it repeatedly conflated sex & gender… & downplayed the effects of binders, blockers and hormones” #Edutwitter #WomeEd #PSHEPeeps

safeschoolsallianceuk.net/our-stories/ou…

And more personal testimony: “but the children were told they MUST address this person as he, ‘whether they agreed with it or not’.” #EdChat #TeamEnglish #SEND safeschoolsallianceuk.net/our-stories/ou…

And more, note lots of this personal testimony is from teachers: “I am a high school teacher & have seen, first hand, the damaging effect that gender ideology is having in schools. It scares me” #TeamEnglish #TeacherTwitter #UKEdChat

safeschoolsallianceuk.net/our-stories/ou…

& more: “The local sixth form was also teaching on their health & Social course the inference that ‘non-binary’ & ‘gender-fluid’ were protected characteristics… a senior member of staff was not even able to answer the question ‘Do lesbians have penises?” safeschoolsallianceuk.net/our-stories/ou…

We reviewed @stonewalluk home learning pack as parents are often refused access to school materials. #Edutwitter #RSE safeschoolsallianceuk.net/sdm_downloads/…

We reviewed several leading providers of #RSE & #PSHE that parents sent us BECAUSE THEY WERE BEING USED IN SCHOOLS #teacher5oclockclub safeschoolsallianceuk.net/sdm_downloads/…

We reviewed resources for #LGBTHM looking round all the proud posts from teacher’s on twitter, yes we do think these homophobic & sexist resources were used in schools. safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2021/02/23/lgb…

Do look at the hashtag #SchoolDiversityWeek to see that yes, this was IN SCHOOLS

https://twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1408343870677700612

We reviewed resources from @barnardos, lots of schools tweet about barnardos, so yes we think it was IN SCHOOLS #Edutwitter #teachertwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/sdm_downloads/…

We reviewed resources from @NSPCC schools are always tweeting about #NSPCC so yes, this was IN SCHOOLS #Edutwitter #UKEdChat #PSHEPeeps safeschoolsallianceuk.net/sdm_downloads/…

Interestingly the only person to reply here about good resources said they would recommend NSPCC resources in their entirety. Again evidence, they ARE being used in schools without critical assessment. #Edutwitter #RSE #PSHEPeeps

https://twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1635025947069120512

More here on why @NSPCC cannot be uncritically used. Rather than teach children about harms & exploitive nature of porn - they gave them new terms to google! “has an online YouTube video that tells children that “porn is fun to watch” and “sexy to enjoy” safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2021/04/11/por…

If you want to check what’s happening in your child’s school (or indeed any school, send an FOI safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2022/02/05/foi…

Though of course an FOI won’t pick up what’s being taught under the radar by activist teachers (and yes we have independently verified this story) #Edutwitter #PSHEPeeps #RSE #SafeguardingFail #PolicyFail archive.is/B8ROn

Many of our template letters were developed in response to specific incidents such as the genderbreadperson being used in schools. So yes we cannot stress enough that this IS HAPPENING IN SCHOOLS & has been for years. #EdChat safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2020/10/03/sup…

This is a letter from a parent who successfully stopped her school introducing the illegal mixed-sex toilets that many schools have introduced. There are schools that now have school refusals, girls with UTIs & rioting thanks to misrepresented law. safeschoolsallianceuk.net/sdm_downloads/…

Our original campaign was about @NSPCC #safeguarding failings. They must take some responsibility for the many inappropriate materials that have entered schools. #Edutwitter #WomenEd safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2019/06/07/ssa…

This has all been going on a long time. This is correspondence from 2019 with @EHRC regarding LA’s misrepresenting the law to schools. #Edutwitter #WomenEd #UKEdChat #TeacherTwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2019/07/10/cor…

This farce regarding @educationgovuk refusal to clearly instruct schools to use the safeguarding frameworks & protect all children, has been ongoing for 4 years, they appear to be enthral to ideologues. #PublicInquiry is overdue. @GillianKeegan #Edutwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2019/09/02/equ…

This is the (now withdrawn) @BBCTeach video of ‘100 genders’ fame. Just because it was withdrawn doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. The young CHILDREN in this video were shown being misinformed. #Edutwitter #Safeguarding #DoYourJob #PSHEPeeps #UKEdChat #RSE safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2019/09/04/ssa…

Original tweet thread on @BBC_Teach 100 genders, it is well evidenced that this DID happen, so we do not know why on earth everyone is denying this!? @PSHEeducation who produced this absolute shambles of a resource is still being promoted by the education sector #Edutwitter #RSE

https://twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1169174010732695557

Books that contravene #safeguarding & science being promoted to children IN SCHOOLS has long been a problem. Latest issue is this book being promoted to girls as young as 11 by their schools. There will be more on this breaking story later. #Edutwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2019/09/05/ssa…

We have long been raising concerns about Peter Tatchell’s involvement with #RSE & educate & celebrate. Absolute baffling that @NEUnion a union full of TEACHERS who should understand #safeguarding should continue to promote its use in schools. #Edutwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2019/09/14/eas…

Again for the ‘but is this being used in schools’ brigade, there is testimony, from teachers, on their website. #Edutwitter #PSHEPeeps #RSE #PolicyFail #SafeguardingFail educateandcelebrate.org

The #safeguarding & #RSE failures by @Warwickshire_CC are well documented. Inappropriate materials were being recommended to & used in schools. The council seemed committed to undermining the rights of girls to single sex spaces. #Edutwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2019/11/05/cou…

Warwickshire has continued to be an area of the country we receive complaints about, so we are incredibly saddened to read of the vicious attack on a teenage girl in mixed sex toilets. Failure to provide single sex toilets is a failure of #safeguarding coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-…

This is the law on toilets @Caludon why we’re you not following it? Why did you not protect your pupils? Why did you not ensure they were safe in school with their privacy & dignity protected? #Edutwitter #SafeguardingFail #PolicyFail #teacher5oclockclub safeschoolsallianceuk.net/sdm_downloads/…

It is way past time for @educationgovuk @ChildrensComm to uphold the law & ensure all children have the safety, privacy & dignity of single sex toilets. What happened to this consultation? Why have schools not been made to comply with the law? #Edutwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2021/02/27/toi…

All the information on the legal action that had to be taken to ensure the withdrawal of @CPSUK unlawful schools pack can be found here. Despite its withdrawal materials from it are STILL circulating in schools. #Edutwitter #PSHEPeeps #RSE safeschoolsallianceuk.net/legal-action-a…

Information on the legal action that had to be taken to ensure the withdrawal of @OxfordshireCC unlawful ‘trans toolkit’ can be found here. Again the problems caused by this undermining of #safeguarding continue to rumble on in Oxfordshire. #EdChat #PSHE safeschoolsallianceuk.net/legal-action-a…

Lots of legal action has had to be taken & STILL #safeguarding has not been restored. Read about action taken by parents against Rhondda Cynon Taff council here. If anything @WG_Education have allowed safeguarding to be undermined more than @educationgovuk safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2021/08/23/rho…

There are huge problems in Wales with the #RSE curriculum. Follow @MerchedCymru @LGBAllies_Cymru @LauraJ4SWEast @SWWalesReSister for further information #curriculumforwales #SafeguardingFail #PolicyFail

More on Wales getting things very, very wrong. #curriculumforwales #SafeguardingFail #PolicyFail #Edutwitter

https://twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1360320342141653006

If you want to read in depth about the sheer horror @WG_Education have allowed to be unleashed on schools, it’s all here. #curriculumforwales #SafeguardingFail #PolicyFail #DoYourJob @MarkDrakeford safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2022/10/09/wel…

Another one for the #NameThatSchool crowd. We would like @LSP_Headteacher to confirm or deny if this occurred at @LSP_Wales. Why was a man whose digital footprint includes ‘love has no age’ & other sexualised content invited in? Is he qualified to discuss suicide? #Edutwitter

https://twitter.com/AidaHDeeDrag/status/1635563361747320832

There are so many #safeguarding issues , including political indoctrination with the above thread & the generally lackadaisical attitude to online safety from @LSP_Wales & it’s staff we do not know where to start. This needs looking at @WG_Education @LauraJ4SWEast @childcomwales

Who is actually going to address the many #safeguarding fails around #Curriculumforwales? Are you going to do your jobs @EstynHMI @MarkDrakeford @childcomwales @WG_Education or will you leave it to the few MPs like @DavidTCDavies & @RobinMillarMP who care & voluntary groups?

There are many voluntary groups in Wales such as @MerchedCymru @LGBAllies_Cymru @WRNWales @SWWalesReSister doing sterling to protect children from #Curriculumforwales & @WG_Education, but why should they have to? Why are those charged with child protection failing to do their job

We wish that the failure to have an in depth understanding of #safeguarding & #saferrecruitment demonstrated by the school above was an isolated incident - but it is not. Many people are determined to not understand that some people are unsuitable. safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2019/09/21/par…

Working with children is not a ‘right’. The needs & safety of the children in your care are paramount. If you do not understand this, than you are unsuitable to work with children. It is not about your rights it is about the needs of children. This is why we use #SaferRecruitment

We have written here, exactly what is wrong with @AidaHDeeDrag’s of @DragStoryHourUK online presence & why he should not be being invited into schools to speak to children. Why is this happening? @ChildrensComm @childcomwales #DoYourJob #Edutwitter #RSE safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2022/08/07/aid…

We should point out that we have absolutely NO expectation of @EstynHMI & @WG_Education to address this #safeguarding nightmare as they are under the erroneous impression this car crash is ‘best practice’. Culture starts at the top. #CurriculumForWales estyn.gov.wales/system/files/2…

So why is #CurriculumForWales being driven by individuals such as @Addysg_Cymraeg who appear to have their own agenda, rather than by child development, #safeguarding & the needs of children? @childcomwales you really need to step in here. A lot of training is required #Clywch

The ‘love has no age’ slogan was being promoted by @DiversityRM who are partnered with @NAHTnews (note connection with the head of the above school) Are people really trying to tell us that these resources are not being used in schools? REALLY? #Edutwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2020/06/18/lov…

It’s NAHTnews all the unions are demonstrating a frightening disregard for #safeguarding. From @NEUnion’s promotion of educate & celebrate to @RealGeoffBarton of @ASCL_UK’s bizarre insistence that scrutiny of what is occurring in schools is a bad thing. safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2022/02/20/the…

And let’s not leave @NASUWT out, they too have been instrumental in undermining #safeguarding & the rights of women & girls. #NotAnAlly #Edutwitter #SafeguardingFail #PolicyFail

https://twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1272154870133522433

We also would want to leave out Scotland, teaching unions there are also heavily involved in proselytising to children. Follow @sos_scotland @ForWomenScot @ParentsAcross for information on #safeguarding fails north of the border & the women who are fighting back to protect kids.

https://twitter.com/EISUnion/status/1635603511160324096

*wouldn’t

Here we have have a resource, linked to by @educationgovuk that defames @jk_rowling. Spoiler: We know about this because a parent sent it to us because it was BEING USED IN A SCHOOL. This is a breach of 1996 Education Act. #Edutwitter #RSE #PSHEPeeps safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2020/06/20/dfe…

We wrote to @GavinWilliamson back in 2020 (& every education secretary since) about schools resources. Surely both teacher’s & journalists would want to join us in our call for a #PublicInquiry into what on earth is going on at @educationgovuk? #Edutwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2020/06/29/a-l…

We’re pretty sure @bbcbitesize is a resource used by many schools, children are constantly directed to it. If you haven’t read the whole thread yet @BBCElaine read this. #WomenEd #edutwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2020/10/27/the…

Should be noted that schools are not the extent of our concerns about the indoctrination of children & the widespread undermining of child #safeguarding @BBC must also accept their own culpability here. @BBCElaine safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2020/12/09/whe…

. @cbbc also involve here. So many groups, individuals & government departments complicit in this undermine of #safeguarding & outright attack on #safeguarding. #SafeguardingFail @BBCElaine safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2020/09/18/boi…

Here’s a critique of ‘Let’s talk about porn’ from @SWGfL_Official. This was written by Dr Lynne Harne of Lesbian Rights Alliance, a group that includes teachers. Again this was critiqued because it was BEING USED IN A SCHOOL #WomenEd #Edutwitter #PSHEPeeps safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2021/03/16/let…

So many parents contacted us with their concerns about mermaids & schools directing children to them, being trained by them & even fundraising for them that we produced a template letter. That’s mermaids now under investigation by @ChtyCommission safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2021/02/20/doe…

A reminder of one of the reasons mermaids are under investigation by @ChtyCommission. Some of his research was not dissimilar to research that has seemingly been allowed to infest #RSE education. #PublicInquiry needed. Now. #Edutwitter #PSHEPeeps dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

For anyone reading who still thinks this is all fine, it’s inclusion & diversity, it’s progressive, whatever you’re telling yourself to help you ignore what’s staring you in the face read previous inquiries & see why #safeguarding matters. #SheldonReport safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2021/03/18/the…

Here’s one for the ‘but they’re following the guidance’ people. The guidance is not up to scratch, especially in Wales. People told @WG_Education their guidance failed on #safeguarding & were ignored. Safeguarding is being ignored. This is the problem. safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2021/06/26/wel…

Do the ‘but is it happening in schools’ people think it’s acceptable to endanger children anywhere? Is it OK for indoctrination & undermining of #safeguarding to happen @Girlguiding? #SafeguardingFail #PolicyFail safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2021/11/02/gir…

A reminder of the sort of person attracted to your organisation if you are not absolutely stringent about #safeguarding. Safeguarding matters you do not allow individuals with sexual online content to work with children! #SafeguardingFail dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

And for the #NameTheSchool crowd we occasionally do, when it’s public interest (previous issues with rioting at this school). It’s not acceptable to direct them to websites that promote self harm & fisting, even if you don’t ‘teach’ fisting in school. safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2021/05/09/bre…

We would #NameThatSchool but the parent is terrified of retribution & their child being discriminated against. This broken trust between parents & teachers is not in the best interests of children. Why past time @GillianKeegan @educationgovuk @ChildrensComm should have acted.

https://twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1636474864650387457

Anyone who doesn’t understand why these are all #safeguarding concerns & why #saferrecruitment matters your can read the text of a speech spokeswoman Tanya Carter was invited to give to a group of parents. #Edutwitter #PSHEPeeps safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2022/03/07/saf…

More on #safeguarding and why a #safeguardingfirst approach must always be used. Teachers cannot abdicate their responsibility to safeguard, to others. If someone tells you to do something you know is wrong you challenge it. #ChildQ #Edutwitter safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2022/03/21/chi…

But is this in schools? Yes 3/4 of them “According to research, three quarters of British children had been exposed to some kind of critical social theory (including gender identity) and 68% of those questioned had been taught those views as fact” #WomenEd safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2022/12/22/is-…

But was it in schools? Yes, according to @school_sexed it was in a 1’000 of them. We will be on @BBCRadio4 with their Sophie Whitehead tomorrow to discuss how we protect girls from sexual harassment in schools. Does modelling playdough genitalia help? safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2023/02/05/the…

We hope to also discuss this book. Whilst the topic of tomorrow’s debate is explicit sex education & not gender identity ideology in schools, there is very much crossover between the two subjects. #Edutwitter #PSHEPeeps #RSEDebate #WomenEd safeschoolsallianceuk.net/2023/03/05/inc…

Listen to Tanya Carter talking to Sophie Whitehead of @school_sexed here? Will Sophie acknowledge that adults discussing ‘sexual pleasure’ with children is a breach of necessary boundaries? Will Sophie reflect on how abuse victims will experience this? Reflection is important.

https://twitter.com/BBC_CurrAff/status/1636736346638237697

But is this happening in schools? It is beyond dispute that there is no regulation of the #WildWest that is the #RSE & #PSHE sector. There are lots of these pop up groups going into schools who is checking content & suitability? #Edutwitter #WomenED

https://twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1637056472222769154

It is disingenuous to suggest the only issue is what these educators are doing in schools. Many of the complaints are about what children are exposed to if they google whose been in their school. Meg Veit was going into schools in Cambridgeshire on behalf of @dhiverse #Edutwitter

Here’s @ShonaghDillon in @TheCriticMag talking about her experiences with RSE & what children will find if they look up providers online. The provider here was @EnrichRSE we’re happy to name. We don’t think ‘world hand Jon’ day is suitable@for children. thecritic.co.uk/we-need-to-tal…

Huge amount of complaints about books which are being actively promoted to children. For the people at the back, not wanting children to read about 6 year olds enjoying performing fellatio is #safeguarding not censorship. Mind boggling that this is considered controversial. #RSE

https://twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1636868326960902144

Elly Barnes from educate & celebrate of ‘don’t tell the parents’ fame was definitely in schools. Why are people trying to deny this? What have you got to hide? #Edutwitter #SafeguardingFail #PolicyFail

https://twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1636830605357772801

This was being taught in a sixth form in Cambridgeshire. Children who pointed out that non-binary was not a protected characteristic & that Miss Green & Adam’s classmates also had rights were failed. Complaints had to be made. #WomenEd #edutwitter #PolicyFail

Another #ThisWasInASchool children taught that lesbians must accept males as partners, they have no right to their own boundaries. This gaslighting was brought to you courtesy of @stonewalluk. Are you still defending this #Edutwitter? Really?

https://twitter.com/safeschools_uk/status/1589262920084762626

Thankfully with our help the mother was able to get this withdrawn from #resources but it has already been shown to 11 year old children. #ThisWasInASchool @BBCElaine this is not OK. #Edutwitter #WomenEd

https://twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1591158519448842240

Another for #NameThatSchool crowd, they often are. Then it’s ‘but it’s the daily mail’. That’s because for years @guardian have refused to #DoYourJob How many excuses are people going to make before they acknowledge what is going on? dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…

Here is a really detailed thread of what happened when one mother challenged her school. We don’t share this to put others off challenging, quite the opposite, we share it so you know you’re not alone & support is out there

https://twitter.com/nosecretlessons/status/1637187426605989891

Here’s one for all the people who think @PSHEassociation are the good guys. The page has been taken down now, but it is simply NOT acceptable that unpaid members of the public have had to do their job for them & explain the law. Where is @educationgovuk? Note the date. #PSHE

This absolute gubbins is from @northyorksc. Look at who they’re recommending. Look at how long ago this was. Why is everyone denying what is going on? Why are you so invested in denying this appalling #safeguarding scandal? #Edutwitter

This absolute car crash of a video that claims sex is fluid & that circumcision can change your sex was shown to yr 7’s. When a parent challenged they were told it was from ‘a well known PSHE resource body’. #CheckYourSchool they could be teaching anything

Another resource from the archives. We have all these because parents send them to us BECAUSE THEY WERE BEING USED IN UK SCHOOLS. What do you a yr 7 feeling a bit unsure of themselves may think reading this? #ThisWasInASchool #CheckYourSchool #Edutwitter #PSHEPeeps #WomenEd

Despite the desperate attempts to ‘debunk’ what is going on in #RSE lessons, one of the major concerns (as we keep saying) is where schools signpost children. Who is responsible when schools signpost children to organisations that harm them? How many have been harmed by Mermaids?

A lot of issues came to light during lockdown. One school in London sent this to all parents ‘for use with your sons’. The parent who sent us this had a 7 year old.

For all the people saying ‘but we follow the curriculum’, ‘we use trusted providers’. THIS is the problem, the ‘trusted providers’ such as @NSPCC @ @PSHEassociation are producing resources that contravene @educationgovuk guidance & no one is stopping them. #Edutwitter #PSHEPeeps

https://twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1638185047835516928

. @thetimes did an investigation into another ‘trusted provider’ @tes, lots of people were surprised at what they found. We weren’t. There was both materials that sexualise children & anti-choice propaganda. There is NO quality control whatsoever. A #PublicInquiry is needed.

https://twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1637897353649700864

To be clear we also do not want whatever this is being taught in schools as fact. Teenagers should be taught the facts & the law around abortion in #RSE in a neutral way. The differing views on abortion is a debate for ethics or RE class. Nobody should teach opinion as fact.

https://twitter.com/FamEdTrust/status/1638510207209820168

By Matilda’s own admission she is alienating boys, who dominate her classes, make jokes & mutter stuff under their breath. Perhaps Matilda & split banana are really not very good at teaching #RSE? Maybe they should leave it to those that are good at it? schoolsweek.co.uk/inside-todays-…

. @bold_voices are another grifting outfit who need to stay away from schools. You might think Women’s History Month was an opportunity to discuss how far we’ve come & the plight of women in countries such as Iran.
Oh no, ideologues want to@tell children the best women are men.

https://twitter.com/carolinefff/status/1638560651147714572

We’ve been told today that this straight up flat eartism is still being taught in schools, to very young children. Please do explain to us how this challenges gender stereotypes? How is this for the benefit of children? #Edutwitter #PSHEPeeps

For the #NameThatSchool crowd @HarrisFed school @HPAOfriends has just proudly announced it’s ‘Gold Equalities Award’ to parents. This seems to have involved rewriting the Equality Act so that the school can discriminate against girls. Top work guys! How much did that cost you?

A reminder who @EqualiTeach are, they’re the incompetent shambles that @trussliz had to instruct to remove the @GEOgovuk logo from their misleading resources. @HarrisFed @HPAOfriends need to seek independent legal advice & find out how much risk they’ve just exposed themselves to

https://twitter.com/safeschools_uk/status/1256893180513058816

Another for #NameThatSchool @SentamuAcademy “A head teacher says he is "sorry" if homework asking pupils to define types of hardcore pornography led them to undertake inappropriate web searches.” Even @BBC admitted this happened #Edutwitter #PSHEPeeps #RSE bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

& another #NameThatSchool this time @shevingtonhigh “A dad has slammed his 14-year-old daughter's high school for 'promoting fetishes' after she came home with a sex education leaflet advocating 'toe sucking'.” How much evidence do you want #Edutwitter? manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

Another for #NameThatSchool @ErnulfAcc the reports we have from parents are that the school has employed activist staff & that the ‘homophobia’ is in fact parents & pupils reacting to their attempts at indoctrination via @TheKiteTrust rainbow flag award. cambridge-news.co.uk/news/local-new…

. #NameThatSchool @BoroughmuirHS “A presentation prepared for classes in the first year of high school is now being "reviewed". It follows a backlash from parents who fear the lessons have been taking place without their knowledge for several years.”archive.is/L9GMa

. #NameThatSchool @KingEdVISchool are using the tried & tested & ILLEGAL method of the older students indoctrinating the younger ones. Why are so many schools oblivious to the existence of the 1996 Education Act? #Edutwitter #WomenEd #CheckYourSchool #RSE view.publitas.com/king-edward-vi…

Today in the inbox we heard from a Mother whose 12 year old was deeply distressed at @jk_rowling being defamed in school. We can’t #NameThatSchool as both parents & child are terrified of retribution. This is unacceptable #Edutwitter. Teachers are not there to proselytise.

‘But how do we know the dodgy groups are actually in schools?’ Well apart from the fact that parents & teachers keep telling us, the dodgy group’s advertise the fact themselves. They’re proud of indoctrinating children while everyone whose job it is to stop them, fails to do so.

https://twitter.com/SafeSchools_UK/status/1638943681330704385

We are far from the only group (or individual) who has spent years collating evidence & raising the alarm about what is going on, in schools. If you still haven’t seen any evidence, you are being wilfully blind. You could take a look at @Transgendertrd @ForWomenScot @FamEdTrust

@Isla_macy @JamesEsses @ParentsAcross @ParentsForED @sos_scotland @DontDivideUsNow @prof_curiosity1 @MerchedCymru @NoSecretLessons @sexgenderined @genderisharmful @jo_bartosch @BayswaterSG @STILLTish @carolinefff @leakylike @ripx4nutmeg @HJoyceGender to name but a few.

So #Edutwitter having read the whole thread (& we do only want votes from people who have read the whole thread, including links) what is your position? Our position is Public Inquiry as we do not know how widespread this is. But one school failing children this badly is too many

PS We do have more evidence, but that’s for the (inevitable) Public Inquiry, not twitter. Final thought: If you are ignoring #safeguarding concerns because you don’t like what you perceive to be the politics or religion of those raising them, you are morally bankrupt. #Edutwitter
