A lot of fuss has been made to changes to the Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) curriculum, brought in recently. But is it really such a big deal? Do parents really have reason to worry and protest?

Steve Beegoo, Head of Education at Christian Concern, believes there is reason to be concerned: following a build up of pressure from LGBT campaign groups, schools have seen a “tsunami of free resources, officer visits, drag queen story times, and [have been] wrongly telling schools that if they didn’t teach their kind of RSE, then [schools] could be breaking equality laws. So now, children are routinely taught by their trusted teachers about how being a lesbian is just when two girls love each other, or that Christian views on sex or marriage are actually homophobic, or that you can change your sex.”

Responding to concerns raised from the Izzy Montague’s case, whose four-year-old son was forced to attend a school’s LGBT Pride march, Steve highlights a statement by the UK government which confirmed schools are “not required to teach LGBT content“ and reveals what you can do if you’re concerned about LGBT content being taught in your child’s school.
