Education culture war is raging in the UK and it's becoming much more than background noise. Lately, the confluence of different scandals involving schools indirectly or directly has shocked. Lobby groups weaponise the curriculum and challenge safeguarding. This must stop.

Imagine how different things would be if schools, health care and social workers were geared up to prioritise and reinforce family bonds? To respond to parents’ instincts, avoid medicalisation and to help kids deal with the immutable reality of biology? https://t.co/LK5HDy2Owf

Good.

Now we’re getting somewhere!

@RishiSunak please respond strongly.

- RSE needs rethinking from first principles.
- All school materials need to be published.
- Exit the UNESCO CSE
- Safeguarding comes before ‘EDI’
- Depoliticise the classroom.

And that’s what happens if you deny the reality of biological sex.

@SafeSchools_UK @hllyflx In case it is helpful, the relevant clauses on transparency in the RSE 2019 Guidance say:

Since the schools have gone back the inbox is filling up faster than we can answer with political propaganda, #safeguarding failure’s & misinformation being taught at fact. The rainbow flag award features heavily, look out for it in schools particularly around Cambs & Manchester.

Please keep sharing & donate if you can. @NoSecretLessons work on establishing transparency in schools is essential to #safeguarding. Parents need to know if schools are using homophobic, sexist or misogynistic resources so they can challenge #edutwitter https://t.co/PmcgkHIXat

With thanks to @SafeSchools_UK for their support, and to all donors. You are supporting a cause that is really important for both safeguarding and democracy. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Today's focus: In the wake of the @ICOnews decision to keep an RSE lesson plan secret from parents (prioritising the commercial secrecy of a porn-promoting teacher over parents' statutory right to know what children are taught) I ask, is the ICO suitably impartial re sex/gender?

Educators and parents: read this thread

Last year, following new RSE Guidance from the DfE, my 15 year old daughter was given a lesson on 'Consent' as part of the PSHE curriculum at Haberdashers' Hatcham College, in London. It was described as a "trusted and high quality session".

[Safe Schools Alliance @SafeSchools_UK]

Please support Clare Page of @NoSecretLessons who is challenging @ICOnews on their refusal to allow her access to lesson plans. We believe this is an important case for the #safeguarding of children. It is vital schools work with parents. #RSE #edutwitter https://t.co/PmcgkHIXat

This crowdfunding raises the legal fees necessary for overturning the Information Commissioner's Office's decision to keep secret an inappropriately explicit lesson plan advertising porn & masturbation.
If you support transparency in schools, please share.

Participating in and encouraging children's gender confusion is a violation of dignity. Either safeguarding protocols are not being used correctly, or they are dysfunctional. Whether it is one or the other, parents must feel empowered to dare challenging it.

[Not Safe For School @NotSafe4School]

A step in the right direction.

This also confirms that the government will consult on new Relationship & Sex Education Guidance this autumn, rather than just ‘go to print’. Great news. @SafeSchools_UK @Transgendertrd

Formally on https://t.co/EXoin1umcB from 2017 to 2021, it was sponsored by *Durex*, supported by a number of leading RSE organisations & even accredited by the PSHE Association. What does it mean concretely?
