Thank you Hugh for your timely and thorough work on this important subject. As I know you are aware, these RSE guidelines are developed through the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, which informs many of the seventeen "development" goals, wherein we are informed that "no child will be left behind" and education will be "equitable" whatever that means!

The UNESCO vision for education was heavily influenced by such luminaries as Alice Bailey, a new-age loon and protégée of Madame Blavatsky, who founded the religion of Theosophy, and Robert Muller, lifelong United Nations civil servant who had no training nor experience in education but yet authored the infamous "World Core Curriculum" upon which the deranged policies being forced upon our schools are based. I personally believe we should extricate ourselves from the UN as a matter of urgency, but if this is not possible, it would be nice if someone with Hugh’s experience and knowledge was in charge of education pollicy-dream on, Anne, I fear.

For you interested readers, especially parents, the American James Lindsay, who is to be found at www.newdiscourses.com has a range of excellent publications and podcasts on this subject.

I feel that anything endorsed by any branch of the United Nations should be taken with a grain of salt. It has been shown that their environmental and pandemic responses are problematic at best. At the heart of the trans argument is the deterioration of the family. It unfortunately is also the trendy form of group think and mental illness that will lead to depopulation.

Absolutely agree! The UN is the PR-hub of the NWO.

This video contains timeless information!

As a grandmother, and a mother of three adults, I do agree that children should be allowed to discover -after they finish being children - what path they might prefer.

It is not only illogical, immoral, scientifically inaccurate, medically ill-conceived but altogether hideously cruel to label a half-grown creature with this label.

Thank you so much Hugh. To state the obvious... schools are supposed to educate children in various subjects such as maths, english, history, geography etc, so that they gain the knowledge and skills to set them up for successful futures as adults, nothing else.

I posted an image in my local community's Facebook group that was taken from the local school's Facebook page and showed a teacher and two 11-year-old children in front of an LGBTQ flag with a caption that said #We are LGBTQ anti-bullying ambassordors [sic]", and a comment that the school is proud of its inclusivity. Yes, they couldn't even spell ambassadors correctly! The admin of the group took it down, probably due to comments that I didn't have time to read, preventing any honest debate about what I consider to be dangerous indoctrination of young children at a very vulnerable age. The problem is that so many people have been brainwashed into being "inclusive" without any discernment, or are completely ignorant of the indoctrination happening in our schools in the UK. They need to wake up and demand that this, and other similar material, is removed from our schools, like parents at the US School Boards have done. When you object, as I did, you get accused of being homophobic, which is not the case, as I have gay friends. Even gays take issue with the LGBTQ flag because of the promotion of transgenderism, expecially accounts like Gays Against Groomers on X.

In my opinion, most children are not trans. Children are merely trying to figure out what it means to be male or female. Society, with the help of some agenda setting groups have blurred the lines.

The goal is to take us to Transhumanism, to merge us to a super computer for control and more. The agenda behind transhumanism is to disconnect us from our souls and the source that is love. They are about to tell us that you are not a man, a woman but a robot connected to a super computer for a better ¨you.¨ The New You :(

And then, they will tell us that robots don't procreate. We don't need you for that. We clone human being in our own factories. We all have to say no to this diabolical agenda.

I do not consent! We do not consent!

It is important that you state out loud or silently the statement : I do not consent. It has to do with vibration and Free Will. If you don't say anything, It can be consider as consent.

This is the goal, I agree, bu these are merely algorithms and language models. They are corruptible and liable to catastrophic hallucinations and errors. Only humans have intelligence. This too will pass.

As an add on, I have a grandson that was born with undecided testicle, if you read about that, that can actually cause cross textual tendencies, im tired of people thinking someone just decides to be trans

I am writing about the promotion of such through the school curriculum-whereby children are being encouraged to challenge their sexuality. The circumstances to which you refer should, in my view, not be the subject of whole class debate. They should be addressed individually and via a medical not a school route.

Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) are everywhere. They are nicknamed: gender benders. They confuse X and Y chromosomes -- most damage occurs in utero.

If the conclusion here is that crazy parents are somehow labelling their apparently normal children "trans", you've entirely lost touch with reality. What parent would do that? And why??

Nearly all parents of trans parents children will report that their child insistently and consistently reported being the other sex, without being exposed to any outside or undue influence. For many, this happens under the age of 10, but some stay hidden until later, generally reporting that they always knew.

Meaningful research on this area needs to include both trans people and clinical staff working in the area, rather than just selecting someone who is anti-trans to head up a study. Evidence needs to be considered from a variety of sources, both pro and against trans people.

There is no such thing as trans. God did not make a mistake. This is massive spiritual warfare and a war against humanity at every level. All of these ideologies are rooted in the contraceptive mindset that has destroyed women, men, families and society.

In a spiritual war the weapons are faith and asking fundamental questions of truth. There is only one source of truth which is God.

We are eternal beings created in the image and likeness of God and we simply cannot go along with destructive nonsense. If we buy into the possibility that it’s possible to change your sex we are lost!

You see, that’s the thing though. Trans people aren’t “changing” their sex, they’re becoming who they really are, who they’ve always been.

Thank you. Does that mean the issue should be taught in schools? Surely it is a private and a medical issue.

I think it should be taught as being a normal human variation worthy of acceptance and kindness, to help in reducing the incredibly high rate of suicide in trans kids. I don’t think it should be promoted though, it wouldn’t even make sense to kids. I don’t believe it even had been promoted much; usually just mentioning and explaining it is considered to be promotion. But mentioning it doesn’t turn kids into trans.

It depends where you are.

That is why I encourage all parents to find out the curriculum of their child’s school.

Bullying, of course,should be addressed for all children.

The problem of course is that while bullying should be addressed, it rarely is, and almost never for trans bullying. It’s hard for educators to catch bullying, and harder for them to prove it so the offender can be punished.

Really? What if they had never been exposed to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals? (EDCs).

I have a granddaughter that let us know how she felt about her gender at age 11, no one was teaching her anything...it is something innate in her soul, it can also be caused by all the hormones in our food or just a mix up in genes as she was being formed...nobody is pushing this"agenda"!

actually you are wrong, that is exactly what the education authorities are doing and if you read my 3 previous articles you will see how they are doing it.

I have 6 grandkids in middle, high school and college and none of them have heard or seen anything like this.

Debi - In the US, Escondido School District, one of the largest in California, teachers were told they had to 'respect' a student's preferred pronouns WITHOUT LETTING THE PARENTS KNOW THE CHILD'S WISH to be trans. The teachers were expected/ demanded to support and go along with the child living a dual-personality and to lie to their parents! A lawsuit is still in process -- some teachers resisted this illegal, immoral, unethical nonsense.

You are lucky--research shows 4 out of 10 schools cover this.

In N.Ireland 73% of people voted against it BUT 3 out of the 5 parties making up the N.Ireland government are CURRENTLY trying to introduce it. (The government meets at Stormont-I was there on Wednesday). I know for an absolute fact that some of our schools are allowing use of girl toilets by biological males. And if you read the article, you will read the Education Authority guidance is quite clear--schools should affirm a child who wishes to transition AND schools must teach this material--as dictated to by the Secretary of State at Westminster --see Hansard.

You will find out that many Local Authorities in England and Wales have Trans Tool kits.

Perhaps you might ask your children to ask the schools their children attend for their RSE policy. It is already law in England,Wales and Scotland.

Well these are 6 kids in 3 states and different schools, so I think that's a pretty good indication of it not being wide spread

Hello Debi.

What country are you in?

I am writing about UK policy and practice.

My point is that it is there at all—-and if it becomes policy where you are then it will become widespread.

I and others are trying to stop it becoming policy in N.Ireland.

"No one was teaching her anything?" Maybe not directly, but kids are biological, psychological and physiological sponges. Was your g'daughter home-schooled? isolated from other children? teachers? adults? Was she conceived by parents with no/low exposure to EDCs during their entire lifetimes? Was her 11-yrenvironment free of EDCs? Did she live in a home with no paper or electronic media? no videos, no cartoons, no movies? no trans Barbie dolls? no Disney? no Hallmark? etc etc etc
