Diversity Role Models promotes gender ideology to school children
by Caroline ffiske, Conservatives for Women:
In November last year, as part of ‘anti-bullying week’, the Department for Education announced that it had handed a new round of funding, worth over £1 million, to five organisations to help schools and colleges ‘tackle bullying’.
One of the organisations to receive funding was Equaliteach, an outfit whose output was previously publicly disowned by the Minister for Women and Equalities, Liz Truss. Equaliteach had slurred organisations who combat the influence of gender ideology on school children, including Fair Play for Women and Transgender Trend.
Equaliteach overtly promotes gender ideology to school children, introducing them to concepts such as having an internal ‘gender identity’; advising schools that trans-identifying boys should be allowed to use girls’ toilets; and suggesting that teachers keep secrets from parents, such as that a child has come out as transgender at school and is using different pronouns.
Never mind that; the Department for Education offered Equaliteach a further round of funding totalling over £160,000 and invited them into more of our schools – ‘over 80 a year’. As a result of which, how many more children will be persuaded they were born in the wrong body?
Another organisation which received money in the same November funding round was Diversity Role Models (DRM). Now a parliamentary question tabled by Conservative MP, Tim Loughton, has revealed that the DfE has paid DRM £187,530 to work in schools from August 2021 to March 2022. The DfE is actually increasing DRM’s role in our schools. DRM received £57,057 in 2016, and £131,231 in 2019-20 when it was part of the DfE’s ‘anti-homophobic, biphobic, transphobic bullying’ programme.
Let’s look at DRM’s track record.
