- Gillian Keegan said she has seen evidence that children are being taught in school about “choosing lots of different genders” and that gender is “fluid”.
Asked to give an example of non-anecdotal evidence she has seen of inappropriate material being taught in classrooms, the Education Secretary told BBC Breakfast: “It was actually more of a request as a result of that review to provide more clarity.”
Asked to give a specific example, Ms Keegan said: “There have been materials which I’ve seen … things like choosing lots of different genders and identities, and saying which ones of these are gender identities, gender spectrum, it can be a spectrum, it’s fluid, you can have different genders on different days.”
Asked whether there is evidence of this having been taught in classrooms, she said: “We’ve received evidence with those slides to say that they’ve been taught in classrooms.”

Heaven forbid we might allow children to be children instead of pawns in activists games
Leave the kids alone fs
Hopefully the pendulum swings back to the side of sanity soon
If they are not old enough to choose wether to smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol then they are certainly not old enough to choose their gender, a young girl is not yet a woman and a young boy is not yet a man so making them choose before they have even reached adulthood is a severe breach of their human rights, it’s a disgrace.
"Statutory Guidance" sounds good, but activists in teachers unions will still instruct their members to ignore it.
Then they will be removed. Statutory guidance sets out what schools and local authorities must do to comply with the law.
Why did this ever happen when the conservatives have been in power for 14 years?
Who is behind this? Who is responsible?
Important questions the media avoids on purpose
Satan
Blackrock, vanguard and DEI scores!
You’re wild if you think this is a conservative issue. It’s present in every western country
@@davidshepherd8917That’s true
This has gone to far ,Parents you must stand up for YOUR children
And love them for who they are and chose to be?
The only thing teachers should be teaching is the Three R's.
Exactly
Need to go back to real British living when no teacher had to tell children anything about sex education because they see it irl in all the animals and wildlife around them. Every person living in this modernity hellhole is screwed from the day they are born. If you aren't living in close relationship with nature there is no value, and humanity will ultimately self destruct because of it, as we are indeed doing. There will be nowhere left for anyone to teach anybody anything anyway soon enough.
@@ivy-fo3bxheaven forbid children learn that having sex like they see squirrels doing might lead to contracting an incurable disease.
Get this the schools are not allowed to administer medicine ,,not even a painkiller for headaches,, your child will suffer unless they are allowed to go home,, yet they are allowed to teach the children ‘ filth’ ? 🤷♀️
Does it really not occur to you that she's lying? JFC you people are gullible.
@@mikeenwright2622 weather she’s lie’n or not it’s irrelevant to my comment ,,, 🤷♀️ ,,, I’m speaking the truth….
So the gullible one may be you,,,
You're speaking your truth which differs from facts.
@@Todischo NO,, if I’m speaking the truth then they are facts… There is only one truth… 🙄
Wow, you're dumber than I thought.
The people teaching this degenerate evil stuff in schools needs investigating for damaging these kids
Its absolute madness. 3 children in my daughters primary school identify as a fox
Glad I am not in west😂
I'll just file that under 'things that never happened'.
You could make it up. You probably did
Why you so surprised? That is the new new in UK, go to my kids school at Marlbhroug Science Academy in St. Albans and look for a teacher called “ MIX “ she is happy to give extra points for the students that agrees calling her “ MIX “. That is just absurd !!!
What tf does that have to do with anything?
Mx. Get it right and stop being so precious.
Poor children, they create big mess in mind.
Remember when kids attended school to learn academia? 🤔
They still do. Remember when politicians stopped lying? No, me neither.
OMG are the government actually do something with common sense.
Imagine you send your children to school to be taught confusion by confused adults. Homeschooling
Hey teacher... LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE!
Not in school
It's right, but very wishy washy, and ridiculously late.
be interesting to see the paperwork, I doubt it bans it at all
@@user-wu1dv6jk5s I suspect you're right. The fact they've left it so late, in the run-up to an election, and seem to be doing the vaguely defined minimum, tells us they're heart isn't really in it. It's for show.
Oh my God! What hope is there when those in charge start spouting such garbage! Children can choose and understand genders? Please! Teach realities please!
I can sympathise with your understanding and I agree there are people who question their identity and struggle to feel accepted in society and as much as I would like to help, I unfortunately am not free to. If I express my concerns around this topic, I risk imprisonment as I live in Scotland! Should someone feel upset by my words regardless of my intentions, I could be arrested. I am not free to disagree or voice opinions within this narrative, for fear of being accussed falsely of hate speech. Scotland is becoming a scary place to live. 😔
There's sex and there's gender
There's male and female
There are only 2…..teach yr children parents……it’s on you
More things to worry about than what gender someone chooses to be. The Tories are good at encouraging the vilification of others to distract us from the real issues (them).

🤮
Joke lol
Man, Woman 👍
genderfluid people exist. people don't choose their gender identity, it chooses them. The idea is just to give more detailed language people can use to more accurately describe the vast spectrum of ways humans can experience gender. Decades of medical research has supported the theory that gender identity is a real thing in our brains, separate from chromosomes or external appearance of the body, and millions of people throughout history have expressed this same experience of being the opposite of their assigned gender at birth or just falling between the arbitrary categories westerners made up millennia ago before we even figured out the earth is round. I'm fine with this topic being described as contested or controversial because it is, but to hide this history from young people or punish teachers for talking about it is censorship.
There will be students in every one of these classes who are trans, non binary, genderfluid etc and this information could save them years of torment and confusion as well as help reduce bullying, all things that could help reduce the disproportionate rate they become victims of violence and suicide. But at the same time PSHE/sex ed classes have always a joke anyways and any kid with internet access will know more about the subject than their teachers by the time it's introduced to the curriculum. This is just a symbolic gesture for Tories to try and win favor from people who have fallen for the media fear-mongering and hatred.
I agree with you, but this is not something that's being taught to 9 year olds. She's lying. And she will never be able to provide any evidence to support her clap trap. It's the same thing we see playing out in the USA. It appeals to the bigots, the permanently outraged, the gullible and the hard of thinking. But more importantly, it isn't true.
