I have some good news to share!

The Government has published new RSHE guidance, which explicitly states that “the concept of gender identity and should not be taught.”

This is a big win!

At CitizenGO, we’ve long fought to protect children from the insidious harms of gender ideology and have offered our support to the many teachers who have lost jobs for not wanting to teach it.Teachers such as:

• • Glawdys Leger who was sacked by a CofE school in Kent for refusing to ‘teach’ 11-year-old children they could be born in the wrong body or that they may have a “gay heart” hidden within them.
  • Joshua Sutcliffe who was an exemplary math teacher but lost his job and was subsequently banned from teaching for ‘misgendering’ a student.
  • Kristie Higgs who lost her job at one school for expressing concern over the LGBT teaching at a different school attended by her sons.The RSHE guidance issued today validates years of campaigning against explicit and extreme sex education and exonerates the many teachers who stood up against it.

However, the government hasn’t yet “finalised” the guidance and could make changes after its consultation closes on 20 July 2024.

We need to keep the pressure up and make it crystal clear: the new RSHE guidance for schools MUST not be watered down!

Help protect children and teachers from the harms of insidious transgender ideology by signing our petition to the Education Secretary, Gillian Keegan, urging her to ensure the guidance is made statutory in its current form.

Just like the government’s transgender guidance for schools, there’s a serious risk that a future government will undo all the progress if these changes aren’t made law.

Neither Labour party leader Sir Keir Starmer nor the shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson has committed to retaining the new guidance.

Many Labour MPs have already grilled the Education Secretary on the changes, with many calling for the new guidance to be withdrawn.

In addition, extreme LGBT groups like Mermaids, Stonewall and Pop‘n’Olly are aggressively pressuring the government to reverse its stance. They are also urging the opposition to pledge to withdraw the new guidance.

With a General Election less than a year away, we need the government to make this new guidance – and the transgender guidance for schools – statutory to protect it.

Labour would have a tough time finding support to overturn statutory guidance because they want to teach primary children extreme sex ed and harmful gender ideology.

Sign our petition to the Education Secretary urging her to ensure the RSHE guidance is made statutory in its current form.

Another crucial part of the guidance gives parents the right to see what their children are being taught.

Groups like Stonewall, Mermaids, Education Solutions and more have attempted to block parents from seeing the explicit and extreme sex ed materials they are using in schools to promote LGBT lifestyles and transgender ideology to children as young as four. They achieve this often by claiming their ‘resources’ are protected by copyright.

If this new guidance becomes law, LGBT groups and schools won’t be able to prevent parents from seeing the ‘resources’ being used in their children’s classes.

But if the guidance doesn’t become law, parents will stay in the dark about what their kids are being ‘taught’ and, in some cases, who is visiting their child’s school.

Sign our petition to ensure parents have the right to see what their children are being taught.
