The message is not just that sex stereotypes are bad but that it doesn’t matter if Tiny is a boy or a girl, that it is nobody’s business but your own to know what sex you are. There has been much talk of late in the field of education on the promotion of British values and the vital role that schools can play in this process. This is far away from the truth and my kids are in another school that has taken on this programme and unfortunately the head teacher, supported by some politicians and Ofsted are smearing the parents in the same manner as Parkfield School. Andrew Moffat is a qualified Senco and has a MA in Emotional and behavioural Difficulties (University of Birmingham). There’s genuine concerns of decent citizens worried about the future of their children but Mr Moffat, Parkfield School, Birmingham Council and Ofsted, all seem to be unwilling to listen to the community they serve and seek to downplay what is going own and depict the protesting parents as simply homophobes and Muslim extremists!The not-for-profit company has been working for the last decade in schools, youth projects and universities to promote ideas of gender identity and gender expression.

NB: There is no requirement at all to “teach” the Equality Act so the basis for this programme is flawed. The lesson plan tells teachers to ask the class if the Princess Boy feels like a girl or if he just want to wear dresses.

The growing unpleasant and threatening behaviour coming from the trans lobby absolutely must continue to be challenged. One commented if she made the niece wear something she was not comfortable in, she would not enjoy being a bridesmaid and this would affect the bride's happiness knowing that one of her brides was unhappy. The community in Alum Rock like many other communities across Britain holds a certain moral position on sexual relationships which are traditional and perfectly legal. Sometimes she would wait on the platform a little longer just to hear his voice every time a train in.

Listening to what the mothers have said when they are interviewed, rather than the men with megaphones, it’s clear that it’s the actual No Outsiders programme they don’t like. Books used in the No Outsiders programme include My Princess Boy, King and King, Mummy, Mama and Me, And Tango Makes Three and Julian Is a Mermaid. She is one of the only back children in the school and her beautiful afro-textured hair is different to the hair on most other children. b) in the case of an application under paragraph (b) of that subsection, the gender to which the person has changed under the law of the country or territory concerned.People in Norway in 1940 felt that London represented the "Spirit of freedom" during the difficult war years. Since then Andrew has worked in a behaviour unit, a Nurture group, as an AST in behaviour management and inclusion, as manager of a behaviour resource in a primary school and, since 2014, as Assistant Headteacher at Parkfield Community School in Birmingham. The resource includes 5 lesson plans for every primary school year group (EYFS- Y6) based upon a selection of 35 picture books. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. As a radical feminist I have no argument against people who choose to dress in that of a prefered gender, matching traditional stereotypes.

After graduating with a degree in Politics and International Relations from the University of Reading, Elizabeth Holmes completed her PGCE at the Institute of Education, University of London.There is some background into why the author thinks the subject needs to be taught, some background on Mr Moffat himself and a discussion about the difficulties teachers face coming out as gay or lesbian. The bride pulled out her phone and showed the niece pictures of suits and trousers and said she could even wear jeans and trainers if she felt more comfortable. I would like to thank Shelley Charlesworth for writing this detailed and well referenced account of the No Outsiders programme. The question of why the Equality Act was chosen by Andrew Moffat as a vehicle for his teaching programme remains. I do not see why it is necessary or expedient deliberately to alienate and exclude fundamentalists, by expressly opposing their beliefs, and therefore implicitly adopting beliefs that contradict theirs.
