About

We reviewed the equality policies of schools in Bristol, and found that 40 out of 117 had fundamentally flawed policies. The nine Equality Act Protected Characteristics are:

Age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation

A lot of schools have misrepresented the protected characteristics, by replacing sex with “sexual identity” or “gender” for example.
We continued this research throughout Devon and Cornwall. In Devon, 73% of schools had equally flawed policies, and in Cornwall it was 61% of schools. Of 97 Church of England Schools in Devon, we found only 24 had suitable policies. This means over 75% of Church of England schools had fundamentally problematic policies. We are in discussions with the Church regarding this and their trans activist policy “Valuing All God’s Children”.

In the news

Our research was covered by the Telegraph in three articles: Schools defy ministers to let children change gender behind their parents’ backs; I found out my daughter had changed gender
when teachers called her ‘he’ at parents’ evening; and Denying pupils can change sex may be breaking law, teachers warned. This was followed by a powerful editorial – Trans ideology is making a comeback – our children are the first victims. This was also picked up by The Times and the Daily Mail, as well as being discussed on GBNews.

Policies

Further research into the schools showed the scale of indoctrination our children are facing, with policies encouraging binders, mixed sex toilets, changing and boarding if a pupil wants to “socially transition”, keeping secrets from parents, as well as policies which essentially restrict the freedoms of belief and expression of other students and staff.

Cass Report

In the vital Cass Report, Dr Cass states “The importance of what happens in school cannot be underestimated.”(12.6) and highlights the fact that “…it is important to view (social transition) as an active intervention because it may have significant effects on the child or young person in terms of their psychological functioning and longer-term outcomes.”(12.5)

The law

Schools must follow the law, not Stonewall’s version of the law. We’d like to share our response to the government consultation on their RSE review. We have also written a statement on the update to KCSIE.
