Identity politics and sex education in schools

The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has announced that a review of government Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) guidance will be brought forward following a disturbing report on external RSE resources, commissioned by Miriam Cates MP. But a review of RSE guidance does not go far enough without looking at the root cause of how extreme, age-inappropriate sex resources have been accepted into schools in the first place.

Extreme sexual practices and age-inappropriate material in schools RSE resources are linked to the Queer Theory-based gender identity teaching which has already undermined safeguarding in schools through an equality, diversity & inclusion and anti-bullying route.

Now under the banner of ‘LGBT inclusive RSE,’ Queer Theory is the basis on which more and more extreme RSE resources have been built.

The infiltration of gender identity politics into schools has snowballed over the last five years, under the guise of ‘trans rights’ and promoted by LGBT groups backed up by so-called Third Wave feminism.

LGBT and Third Wave feminism are part of a broader identity politics movement which also encompasses groups such as Black Lives Matter. Critical race theory, gender identity theory and Queer Theory are packaged together as one social justice movement that promotes a victim hierarchy based on degrees of oppression and degrees of privilege.

Thus a ‘cisgender woman’ (a woman) has privilege over a ‘transgender woman’ (a man).

This is incompatible with UK Equality law. There is no hierarchy of rights within the protected characteristics of the Equality Act.
