Reactionary Policy Was at End of Tory Govt

23/07/2024

The left wing weekly paper Socialist Worker says that "Teachers, parents and students must rebel against the bigoted and dangerous new guidelines to ensure every child has access to proper sex education."  The paper says "The government is set to ban explicit sex education until the age of 13—and any mention of transgender identities. This is an attack on every school pupil and their right to access education about relationships, consent, abuse, LGBT+ people, abortion and safe sex. This would be the first imposition of explicit age limits on such education.   The chipping away at trans children’s rights in schools, and healthcare, has paved the way for further attacks on not just LGBT+ children, but all children."  NEU education union general secretary Daniel Kebede said ministers are “seeding doubts” that schools are not already delivering sex education in an “age-appropriate and phase-appropriate way”. “This is yet more culture war noise from an ill-informed and out of touch government. Schools need clear and constructive support”, he added.
