Lessons: Rights Campaigner and Lgbt Orientation

lessons: With religious extremists trying to hijack the issue a culture of fear around mentioning LGBT orientation has sprung up, according to Rabble. Many teachers are left feeling very uncertain about what they are required to do or what they're allowed to do or say. To its credit, the government has spoken out in defence of LGBT inclusive lessons but it hasn't backed this up with explicit, concrete guidance to schools about what they can and should do, says the veteran gay rights campaigner. Instead of spelling out what it expects schools to teach, the government's guidance on the new relationships and sex education RSE lessons, to be introduced in September 2020, is vague, says Tatchell. This lack of support for schools already implementing the policy is a de facto green light to parents who want to raise objections. While in principle it says that LGBT issues should be addressed it doesn't state how they should be addressed and to what extent, he says. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
