Tory MP: Schools are ‘not the place’ for education on LGBT issues
by Nick Duffy, Pink News:
A Tory MP has come out against LGBT-inclusive sex and relationship education, saying that schools are not the place for LGBT issues.
Craig Mackinlay, the MP for South Thanet, made the comments after former equalities minister Maria Miller led calls for statutory sex and relationship education in all schools.
Mrs Miller, who was honoured with a PinkNews Award in 2015 has pressed Education Secretary Justine Greening to make good on her promise to pursue SRE reform, urging her to mandate age appropriate, LGBT-inclusive SRE in all schools.
However, Mr Mackinlay told his local newspaper that he would not be supporting proposals for LGBT-inclusive SRE.
