Christian parents ‘vindicated’ by Attorney General speech
by Rebecca Bensted, Christian Concern:
Rebecca Bensted comments on the impact for teachers, parents and governors of MP Suella Braverman’s speech on schools and trans guidance.
Rebecca is Barrister and Centre Manager for the Christian Legal Centre, and a lay member of the Church of England’s General Synod.
The impact of the Attorney General’s speech to the Policy Exchange on 10 August is bound to be wide-ranging. Her clarification and guidance on the law on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion will be welcome news to many parents, teachers and governors.
Parents Nigel and Sally Rowe were the first people to shine a light on what was going on in schools up and down the country. They blazed the trail which led us to this point when the Christian Legal Centre supported them in their challenge to the Secretary of State.
The Rowes removed their son from a Church of England primary school after a 6-year-old boy started sometimes coming dressed as a girl. They were told that their son would be demonstrating “transphobic behaviour” if he demonstrated an “inability to believe a transgender person is actually a ‘real’ female or male” or refused to “acknowledge a transgendered person’s true gender e.g. by failing to use their adopted name or using gender inappropriate pronouns.”
