Teaching Unions Slam Tory Education Chief

27/11/2023

The communist daily newspaper The Morning Star reports that educational trade unions and teachers organisations have hit back at remarks by the Conservative whack-job and current Education Secretary Gillian Keegan which implied that schools should have to pander to bigoted parents in teaching sex education.  The Association of School & College Leaders and the National Association of Head Teachers said they believe the vast majority of schools share RSHE materials with parents.  School leaders general secretary Geoff Barton and head teachers’general secretary Paul Whiteman have asked Ms Keegan to think more carefully about the impact of her future statements.

They said: “This sort of thing undermines public institutions and feeds a breakdown of trust that is corrosive.   “We need political leaders to be encouraging parents to support schools rather than making that relationship more difficult.”
