In new guidance due to be issued by the Government today, schools in England will be told that if a child tells a teacher they are trans or gender non-conforming, the school must inform the parents and the school cannot start calling them by different pronouns or allow them to wear a different school uniform without their parents’ consent. In addition, children who want to be called by another pronoun won’t be able to take part in competitive sport and teachers and students won’t have to call them by their preferred pronouns if they don’t want to. At this point, the new guidance is just in draft, with a consultation expected to take place over the remaining weeks of the summer term and the guidance coming into force later this year. Expect a lot of push back from the woke lobby. The Sun has more.
The Prime Minister has also expressed huge concerns over the content of sex education being taught to some pupils, where teachers are refusing to hand over the curriculum to worried parents.
In a move which will be seen as the PM taking on militant trans campaigners, teachers will be forced to tell parents their child is questioning their gender — even if the child objects.
The new guidance is set to spark a fiery backlash from the trans lobby and other campaigners, who will argue it is up to the children themselves to tell their parents if they want to change gender.
Under the new plans, heads in England will be told that parents must always be consulted if a child wants to be called another name, or wear a different gender uniform.
And the school will not be able to use the child’s new preferred pronouns until parents give consent.
Teachers will be ordered not to recognise a transition within the school gates if the parents do not agree with it.
And neither students nor teachers will have to call another pupil by their preferred pronouns if they do not want to.
Even if parents do give the move the green light, heads must also consider the mental effects on other children before approving the gender change, following a long period of consideration.
Schools will be ordered to take a “precautionary” approach to transitioning kids and will be urged to keep an eye on them at the first instance.
But critics have warned the new rules may put kids at risk of harm.
Teaching unions say they are dealing with a “minefield” around issues of gender, while trying not to offend anyone.
But the new rules will say that if there is a “significant safeguarding issue” where kids may be put at harm, schools must always act to protect them.
The PM will also insist that sport should be protected for children in the name of safety and to keep it fair.
Where a child is questioning their gender, they should not be allowed to play competitive sport.
A government source told The Sun: “Parents have got to be kept in the know about their child while they are at school and be consulted when sensitive matters arise.
“If their child expresses a desire to transition, for example, it’s vitally important that parents are made aware and have a say.
“It is in everyone’s best interest to ensure this happens, so that the child is looked after, teachers are clear in how they must handle the situation and parents know so that they can handle it appropriately and sensitively.
“The guidance will be crystal clear on all fronts.”
Worth reading in full.

Will the teacher sacked and vilified for simply que4stioning a child’s decision get her job and reputation back now.
What? Could you repeat that please?
”A government source told The Sun: “Parents have got to be kept in the know about their child while they are at school and be consulted when sensitive matters arise.”
Does this statement include informing parents on the explicit and inappropriate material their kids are being taught without the parent’s knowledge or the fact gender ideology is being brainwashed into them I wonder? Because from what I’ve read and seen online ( as previously shared yesterday ) this significant information is deliberately being withheld from parents. The above article is just some sort of lame, ineffectual olive branch offering, a show that the PTB actually care about kids’ welfare, when the main problem is the indoctrination and sexualization of kids from schools in the first place. Pathetic!

It is meant to. Allegedly in response to some seriously sick shit children of ten were being reportedly ‘taught’ like How to choke your partner safely. My suggestion would be Choke the guy delivering this lesson instead.
And WTF was with that sheet the lady was holding up in the vid, about anal sex that showed a picture of a banana being dipped into a jar of Nutella ( other brands are available ) all about??
This is literal teaching material being shown to kids? It’s beyond rank!
I’m now checking Pornhub to see if there’s a banana-Nutella channel …
This is about as reassuring as them saying that they’re going to stop the boats.
A small step in the right direction …. IF the Government carries it out.
I suspect when the woke and trans-activist start creating merry-hell, the proposals will be watered down.
This is guidance everybody is legally free to ignore. Hence, it’s a PR exercise.
Yep! all guidance and including heath and Safety guidance/ laws have been written so they can be twisted into your own agendas. This is just another exercise of trying to appear to be doing something whilst achieving very little if anything at all.
Quick, throw some bread at the angry people! ‘Guidance’ coming into ‘force’ is still guidance and will be ignored. But they know that and we know that.
Yeah, this won’t go far, The Blob will make sure that the titular PTB will back off under pressure from the QUERTY+ imperialists. They are attempting every other method of wresting kids away from their parents for various nefarious reasons through curricular indoctrination, social media propaganda and other perversions, why bother with this?
Well as I have said before.. I work in a school… too little too late… many year groups of children teenagers already taught the ideologies of the left in general… done…cooked…finished.
They are now adults or young adults and teaching these ideologies to next generations.
And Labour authoritarianism will be in power shortly and they don’t know what a penis is.
Game over.
That’s what all the female Labour MPs have who don’t have vaginas.
Ha ha they don’t know what a vagina is either
but Anyway it is all distraction too but an evil one at that! Still needs calling out!
a distraction as James Dellingpole describes in his latest sub stack recommended read for dailysceptic think or thunk
Maybe I am an old cynic, but doesn’t this show how considerate the government are to the wishes of the public while deftly omitting the fact that they have let this diabolic nonsense get so far already?
Schools should TEACH…………..Nothing Else.—— It used to be that our kids went to school to learn HOW TO THINK, not WHAT TO THINK.
Quite right, a teacher should teach, that is their job title. Grooming for potential sexual exploitation is another issue all together, illegal in all places except the class room apparently.
Guidance, huh.
Let’s hope the majority comply with this “guidance” in the same way they complied with the “guidance” on unnecessary injections and social isolation.
In my school everyone complied with virtue signalling obedience so the rot is set in stone unless there is more direct challenging from public forums like the so called counter voices more bravado needed. See James Delingpole’s latest sub stack.
only two of us not taken the jab, children jabbed with it at school. Blind obedience of the not to be trusted sources. ‘Nice people’ Following the crowd.
The majority in many countries did comply, repeatedly.
So now, teachers have to remember who is what actual sex, who claims they’re something else (or a cat) and which ones are valid because of parental consent. I guess this is why our teachers always used to call us by our surnames only.
“Children who want to be called by another pronoun won’t be able to take part in competitive sport”
Wow. A Godsend there for kids who want to get out of playing Rugby. All they need to do is question their gender. They can even quietly tell their friends to go on using their normal pronouns, because “students won’t have to call them by their preferred pronouns if they don’t want to”.
Can people see how ridiculous this whole thing is? Far from being sensible, these guidelines are tip-toeing around the issue. The truth (not fashionable these days) is that you are stuck with the sex you were conceived with. It depends on your chromosomes. You can’t change it just by having bits of you surgically removed.
As for “gender”, that didn’t seem to actually mean anything so can be safely ignored. (Except in French lessons, where houses are masculine and dogs are masculine even when they are female.)
