Beware: Brexit is being used to bury bad news
by David Kurten, Bruges Group:
The Alinskyite activist and former Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emanuel, inspired by Machiavelli, coined the phrase ‘never let a good crisis go to waste’.
[…] It should come as no surprise then, that one of the most unpopular policies of the current government is being quietly pushed through Parliament with very little attention. The Children and Social Work Act 2017 allows provision for a statutory instrument to be laid in Parliament to make Relationships Education compulsory in primary schools and Sex and Relationships Education compulsory in secondary schools.(2),(3) The draft statutory instrument was published on 25th February, and must be voted on in both Houses of Parliament within 40 days. The votes are highly likely to take place during the week of Brexit at the height of a potential crisis, when very few people will be paying attention.
If it passes in both Houses of Parliament, it will become law for all schools to teach these subjects from September 2020. This is despite a consultation in which respondents were overwhelmingly opposed to these new subjects, particularly as guidance from the Department for Education has said the subjects must be ‘LGBT-inclusive’, and the right for parents to withdraw their children from Relationships Education and its highly sexualised content will be abolished. This especially tramples on the rights and wishes of Christian, Jewish, Muslim other socially conservative parents who want to bring up their children according to traditional family values, and hold to the scientific fact that there are two sexes: male and female, determined by anatomy and chromosomes.
Books such as ‘My Princess Boy’ which promote transgenderism to children as young as five-years-old are already widely available and used in primary schools, usually without the knowledge of parents.(4) Worksheets like ‘The Genderbread Person’ usurp the innocence of the childhood activity of cooking gingerbread men, and warp it into promoting the ideology of genderqueer theory to innocent children.(5) Similar materials teach children that they are not boys or girls, but can choose their gender out of dozens of options when they get up in the morning. They can be a boy on Monday, a girl on Tuesday, a mermaid on Wednesday, androgynous on Thursday, and end up the week being a queer butch demi-girl.
