Kirsty illiberal Williams determined to make RSE compulsory in Wales

Welsh Education Minister keeps religious education, makes it compulsory and inserts trans-ideology into the 7-16 curriculum.

You might see her determination to carry it through, despite the criticisms even hostility in the public consultation, in the unsmiling eyes and tight mouth chosen for her picture/
It's not difficult to spot the hidden agenda in cancelling the parents' right (and duty) to protect their children from religious and trans-promotion.  The documents use "LGBTQI+" which is Stonewall's latest claim for their 'trans' community.  They consulted only Stonewall and not the independent L or LGB organisations, nor did they involve women's organisations like FairPlayForWomen, WomansPlaceUK and Transgendertrend (this latter has excellent record and experience of schools material; all are hated by transactivists).

The covert trans-agenda was blurted out by an LGBT-campaigner journalism student, over from Wisconsin - 3rd Sept student piece and  7th Nov. article. This Christian Phelps seems unaware that in Wales and the UK, the trans-cult has to be more circumspect.

Let's remember that Kirsty Williams signed up to be a ‘Stonewall ally’.  She runs a department whose Equality Impact Assessment is based on Stonewall’s bastardisation of the Equality Act.  It conflates Sex/Gender and redefines Gender Reassignment as “the act of transitioning and Transgender people”. They don't let on this is the hoary old error of citing the Dept for Education in England and ignoring modern guidance from the EHRC (Equality and Human Rights Commission).  The EqIA adopts Stonewall’s fiction of LGBTQI+ and states quite wrongly  that “the rights of LGBTQI+ people to be treated with equality are protected in law”. In fact, the Equality Act gives the LGB group the right to recognition of their Protected Characteristic, uncontaminated by TQI+.

So what did Kirsty Williams do in view of trenchant criticism of the EqIA?  She just got her trans-people to mark their own homework and re-summarise the same nonsense.  Evidently their signing up to Stonewall means the Welsh Education officials can’t be trusted an inch.

Qualification is having an offshoot in Aberaeron and some bilingual ability

What of the independent reports of the public consultation?  The main one is a travesty – written by a group (WaveHill) without expertise.  The Young People’s report shows that even the youth parliament warned against compulsive religions, but were ignored.  Pleas for non-religious/atheist views were likewise spurned.

Humanists UK, who campaign for a secular state, said they are "particularly concerned about the scrapping of the right to withdraw from RE in faith schools, because such schools will still be able to teach the subject from a faith-based perspective". 

The consultation gave a childish excuse for forcing eg. christianity on islamic children, that their parents “may have option to send their children to a (muslim) faith school”.  As the document admits "There is no current equivalent option for parents of other faiths to send their child to a school where RSE (or RE) will be taught in a way which reflects the tenets of their faith, while being pluralistic, within the maintained school system in Wales."  With no practical prospect of a slew of new faith schools to 'fill the gaps', the demand for the right-to-withdraw will be unstoppable.   Faith groups, gender-critical humanists, feminists and LGBers unite!  

Why is Kirsty Williams ploughing ahead, with the LGBTQI+ cause, when 

telling a child they can choose their sex or they may be 'born in the wrong body' is not just unscientific but also dangerous.  It encourages children onto the transgender pathway with huge consequences for their future that they cannot possibly understand.

She expects public discord and disruption to education (despite smooth talk of care in managing parents).  She would set back prospects of community integration. The costs of an epidemic of teenage girls wanting to trans (as in Canada), costs to the NHS as well as long-term stunting of the girls, are not faced.  And the Welsh Government is likely to face the Courts for flouting the rights of the child against indoctrination (CEDAW Convention) and parental responsibility.

Legal challenge to the transgender schools ‘Toolkit’

Max Wallis writes:  Judicial Review Test-Case

My recently deceased wife Anne Greagsby attended the Vale Council’s scrutiny session 18 months ago to speak along with other women against the Council's new transgender inclusion toolkit.  The Cabinet disregarded them, though promising to review the toolkit after a year.

They had expected religious objectors, but the objectors were well-informed feminists, keen to protect our children from girl/boy stereotypes and insidious ideas like ‘being born in the wrong body’.  Anne objected to male-bodied adolescents using toilet and changing facilities with our girls, contrary to girls' right under the Equality Act to single-sex provision.

The women's opposition deterred Cardiff other nearby Councils except Merthyr Tydfil from copying the Vale, but several English counties have introduced similar toolkits. The Vale's transgender toolkit was heavily criticised on the Transgendertrend website.

An Oxford parent has courageously mounted a legal challenge to the Oxfordshire Trans Inclusion Toolkit.  She has engaged Sinclairslaw and raised over £11 500 crowdfunding, but may need 2 or 3 times more for this test case.

Can I appeal in memory of my Anne and for the sake of her grandchildren for Vale people to donate in support at https://tinyurl.com/crowdjustice-trans-Oxford ?

Our case is these Trans Inclusion Toolkits are unlawful and damaging to children.  We argue the guidance places the rights of trans-identified children above the rights of all other children and staff.  Teachers have to ignore sex-based protections, yet they have a statutory duty to protect children from harm. Teachers are required to set child confidentiality above parental responsibilities and rights, when they should be working with parents in the best interests of children. 

Any parent who doesn’t affirm their child’s chosen gender identity – an ‘identity’ that’s often a passing fancy during puberty changes - may be deemed a safeguarding risk, and referred to social services for causing harm to their child.

It’s been rightly called “pernicious” guidance.  At present, individual schools can choose to resist the Toolkit’s prescriptions, but some are already giving grief, especially to adolescent girls.  Pressure to conform may well come. Please give ‘crowdjustice’ support for the Oxford test case, to win for us in the Vale too. 

   Safe Schools Alliance are backing the case.  Details including a link to the Toolkit and a link to the Solicitors letter can be found here: https://safeschoolsallianceuk.net/legal-action/.  SSA will be attending and be ready to discuss the action at the 1st Feb. conference:  https://womansplaceuk.org/conference-womens-liberation-2020/ in London.
