Boomer complaining about young people having money given to them, yet they’re the generation that had free university tuition, winter fuel allowances, triple lock pensions, and free bus passes - all while sitting in houses worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. Give over.

@olivertudge1 Great, maybe you kids can give all the money back that has been given to you. Selfish little prick

@Stevebates5 I never said it didn't. But fairly certain those who died weren't playing in the heat were they? Would you call them fannies for suffering and dying from the heat?

@Stevebates5 @ChelseasTopBoy It's quite easily searchable Stephen

@Stevebates5 @ChelseasTopBoy 2000 people died as well, just so we're clear

I barely got any LGBTQ+ education when I was in school. It started and stopped at "some people are gay". RSE becoming more inclusive towards LGBTQ+ people is only a good thing, it teaches children to be more empathetic towards their peers and the wider community. Get fucked Lee

Dear Secretary of State,

Re: Parental right to withdraw from Relationships and Sex Education

I am writing to raise my serious concerns around the teaching of RSE and the lack of a parental right to withdraw.

I have recently been in contact with a constituent regarding teaching materials and lesson content presented as part of a school’s RSE curriculum. The lesson in question covered LGBTQ+ relationships and identities as part of the school’s RSE curriculum.

I understand LGBTQ relationships are covered within the ‘Relationships’ strand of RSE which does not provide a right to withdraw. This is very concerning given the modern LGBTQ+ framework is still widely debated. It promotes controversial theories, including transgender identity, and there is a growing amount of evidence to show that these ideas encourage peer pressure and confusion amongst young people.

These concerns aren’t just hypothetical. There have been several examples of Local Authorities having to withdraw RSE resources due to potential legal action over recent years.

This is not the first time I have written to you with my concerns around ideological activism in our schools. Both Sections 406 and 407 of the Education Act 1996 ban the promotion of political views and require schools to provide a balanced representation of political issues, yet many teachers continue to push their political views on all sorts of topics without consequence.

How did we get to the point that teachers are being drawn into pushing controversial ideas on young people and young people are being forced to learn about totally inappropriate ideas? It is madness that this part of the curriculum was made compulsory in the first place.

Parents must be the primary educators for their children. This is basic stuff. It is completely unacceptable that parents are being denied control or influence over whether their child is exposed to these types of topics. Parents must have the right to withdraw their child from any PSHE or RSE lessons and challenge materials that promote gender identity and similar themes.

Teachers can already make allowances for students with religious beliefs and many faith schools state that RSE will be taught in line with their religious beliefs. In fact, all the RSE policies I've seen from Islamic schools say the compulsory RSE curriculum will be taught in accordance with Islamic beliefs.

However, there have been many examples of Christian and non-religious parents with children in non-faith, state-funded schools who have not been afforded the same level of flexibility or consideration. How do you justify this?

I have two simple requests. First, will you introduce a full parental right to withdraw children from any RSE lessons that include teaching on ideological concepts like gender identity? Or, even better, will you remove this ideology from the curriculum altogether?

Second, will you also issue clear guidance to schools so that teachers are equipped to tell the difference between facts and political theories and ensure schools can respond to teachers who openly ignore their responsibility to remain neutral?

Schools are currently being forced to work in a broken and confused system. I know many teachers will be uncomfortable with what they are being expected to teach their students, and many head teachers are currently bound by the statutory RSE curriculum imposed by your department.

Parents deserve transparency and must have the ability to protect their children from material they believe is inappropriate or ideological without facing a fight with school staff or guidance from the Department for Education. Their concerns must be responded to.

I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Lee Anderson MP

I’ll be honest. I think it’s weird energy if a gay person has their hogwarts house in their bio.
