Tory garbage - Gillian Keegan trotting out the usual dog whistles and nonsense about RSE and inclusion of #LGBTQ+#Section28 part 2.

gilliankeeganmp Over the past few years, we've seen too many reports of children being taught inappropriate materials in their RSHE lessons.
Absurd views like that there are 72 genders should not be taught in our schools.
When it comes to educating our children about important topics that set them up for life, what matters.

Absurd views like that there are 72 genders should not be taught in our schools.
When it comes to educating our children about important topics that set them up for life, what matters is fact.
That's what we're ensuring today.
So what are we changing?
1. Children must be allowed to be children, and whilst they need to be prepared for issues they will face in the future, they must not be rushed into being adults.
That's why we're introducing age limits so that children are taught these subjects at a time that is appropriate.
2. Parents are their children's primary educators. They have the right to know what their children are being taught in school. Our guidance makes that crystal clear.
3. We're banning the teaching of the contested issue of gender identity. We are very clear - teachers are there to teach facts, not to push the agendas of lobby groups.
Headteachers and teachers have been asking for this guidance for a long time.
As Education Secretary, it's my job to support them.
