if you spent hundreds of hours teaching kids about suicide, there would be more suicides in young kids, there is a lesson there.
If there is nothing more relevant that can be put into curriculum…
I don’t think many would argue that a basic understanding of the LGBT should be thought as part of any other sex eduction / civil and social eduction class in primary school 5th / 6th class.
Ok. I am sure some people would argue but they would be nutters.
In general school needs more stuff focused on how the world works and how not to be a asshole.
Like how religion as a subject would be way more useful if it actually thought kids about various religions. Seems obvious and would probably result in less assholes later.
I’ve discussed trans issues / non binary with one of my primary school going children as they know someone who doesn’t identify as a boy or a girl.
This happened when they were 11. It didn’t impact them in anyway and has allowed them to be mindful of the other child’s identity. I have an older kid in secondary school who I discussed gender with when they were a bit older (they brought it up) and both had no difficulty understanding sufficiently to be tolerant.
Stella O Malley the anti trans psychotherapist will be raging and getting her genspect organisation to fight against this. Please be aware of the division and anti trans sentiment that she spreads
Time for your trans times tables lil Tarquin
It should probably be more so included in SPHE and CSPE subjects in secondary school rather than primary.
Best avoiding these subjects at primacy school age.
It’s a very simple concept for schools to teach children that people can look different, feel different, behave different, dress different, etc than “normal” and that it’s all ok. Doesn’t have to be specific to gender identity, and shouldn’t imo. Don’t be an asshole, but explain it like I’m 5.
For more, parents should discuss more detailed topics with their children in their own time or if questions are raised.
Information and truthful education is always good. Throw in some cyber bullying and dangers online too
I have twins. There is a kid in their class who has said they wish they were born a girl. They dress a bit feminine and have slightly longer hair. I don’t think any of the other kids in the class have batted an eyelid. They always mix with other kids before the teachers come out in the mornings.
I think grownups need to chill out. Your kids learning about Trans or what gay means won’t change them. They are what they are and there is nothing you can do about it except support them.
Our Minister for Children is mates with paedo-apologist and professional creep Peter Thatchell. I don’t trust these cunts as far as I can fart them out my arse.
Mrs Garrison, stunning and brave. The writers of South Park are possibly some of the smartest around, they predicted and satirized elements of these culture wars more than a decade ago

Boy am I glad that a party with 7% of the vote wield so much power.
This guy is not fit for office..
I think this is a complex issue and there are absolutely no details to the proposals in the linked article.
The minister that he doesn’t want to shutdown free speech but… is a bit concerning.
Makes me think of the first Reith lecture of 2022 which is worth a listen.
