Parents in Hull have withdrawn their four-year-old daughter from pre-school over inappropriate content in Relationships and Sex Education.
The decision follows their discovery that the school was using a book entitled “Grandad’s Pride.” The pro-gay propaganda book carries illustrations of homosexual men wearing next to nothing and women posing as men who have undergone surgical mutilation.

The Mail reports that Will and Maria Taylor, of Hull, East Yorkshire, were horrified when they spotted ‘images of men who are partially naked in leather bondage gear’ in the pages of Grandad’s Pride.
Another image featured ‘trans-men’ (that is, women) with ‘top surgery’ scars from double-mastectomy, sparking a furious reaction from parents who say that it ‘encourages body modifications too early’.
However, the Biblical reaction to their reported comment is that such mutilation should not be allowed at all, at any age, in a civilised country, let alone one like the United Kingdom that is constitutionally Christian.
‘Inappropriate content’
‘Grandad’s Pride’ is the creation of author and illustrator Harry Woodgate – who ridiculously uses “they/them pronouns”.
When the serpent tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, we read:
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Note, ‘she took’ not ‘they took’, ‘her husband’ not ‘their husband’ and ‘he did eat’ not ‘they did eat’. ‘They /them’ is the plural form, as we see in the very next verse:
Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Naturally, Waterstones gave Mr Woodgate an award for an earlier pro-gay book, ‘Grandad’s Camper’. He has also received an award from pro-trans lobby group Stonewall.
Meanwhile, trustees at Genesis Pre School agreed that the book had inappropriate content for children below four and have now apparently withdrawn it from their shelves. In an email seen by the BBC, the chair of trustees apologised to Mr Taylor and his family for the distress caused. However, staff at the pre-school initially defended the book which was marked as suitable for age four plus.
Naked pro-gay propaganda
Media coverage concentrated on the ‘age- inappropriate images’. Even papers like the Mail and Telegraph failed to voice concerns that ‘Grandad’s Pride’ constitutes unashamed pro-gay, pro-trans propaganda from start to finish.
There are images of posters saying ‘love is love’. (Next time someone says that to you, ask them if they are going to drink from the toilet pan. After all, ‘Water is water’.) The illustration above shows characters in the book holding up a banner calling for ‘Trans Rights Now’. The discussion between ‘Milly’ and ‘Grandad’ goes like this:
“What’s pride”, I ask. “Pride is like a giant party where we celebrate the wonderful diversity of our communities and share the message that everyone should be treated with equality and respect; no matter who they love or what gender they are”.
Having leaders, teachers, and trustees who believe children at any level deserve to be taught such a bunch of politically-correct, trite disinformation bordering on outright lies and appearing to be AI-generated poses a significant threat not just to their future but to our society as a whole. It is rebellion and a sin before God. It is simply not okay for those in charge to push pro-gay and pro-trans ideologies on children and hope their parents won’t notice.
Isa 3:9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
Publisher’s reaction
Publisher of the book Andersen Press defended its content after Genesis Pre-School in Hull decided to remove it from its shelves.
The publisher described critics’ concerns of ‘hidden messages’ in the book depicting a grandad wearing leathers for ‘Pride’ as ‘baseless, deeply offensive and homophobic.’ Furthermore, the company, along with author Harry Woodgate and the school, had all been subjected to ‘hate’ which probably translates as mild criticism.
Further, Mr Woodgate was seen in a recent video, following yet another book award, advocating for children of all ages regarding sodomy. In his words: ‘Who you are is valid, who you are should be celebrated. There are a whole community of people who are in your corner fighting for you.’
Let us pray the Lord will raise up a whole community of people standing up for children and fighting for their innocence and for righteousness. The Bible says,
Psalm 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
Well, the righteous can support Christian Voice and join our prayer and action campaign against RSE, and for the Lord to raise up God-fearing leaders:

Education NOT “pro-gay” propaganda
Since September 2020, ‘Relationships Education’ has been compulsory for all pupils receiving primary education and ‘Relationships and Sex Education’ (RSE) for all pupils receiving secondary education in the UK. RSE policy has encouraged the promotion of “pro-gay” propaganda in schools and classified children and parents whose views differs from the ideologies of the education elite as homophobic.
The Department for Education (DFE) emphasises that primary school subjects should incorporate the fundamental elements of healthy and respectful relationships, with an emphasis on family and friendships, across all settings.
The policy also says: ‘at secondary school, teaching builds on the knowledge acquired at primary and develops pupils’ understanding of health, with an increased focus on risk areas such as drugs and alcohol, as well as introducing knowledge about intimate relationships and sex and how to have positive and healthy sexual relationships.’ You might think such an approach would emphasise age-appropriate content and conversations. But the educational establishment and the third-party sex educators take a different view, and have little respect for ‘guidelines in the admittedly rare moments these disagree with their pre-conceptions.
Sex educators recognise that children’s minds are significantly shaped during their early developmental stages. So does the Bible:
Deut 11:19 And ye shall teach them (the laws of God) to your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Let children be children
The concern shouldn’t solely rest on the exposure of children to age-inappropriate content through the “Grandad’s Pride” book. Its approval and presence within schools should never have been permitted from the start.
The Bible says,
1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
The sex educators know that principle too. Their plan is that when the children grow up, they will retain the godless, amoral values they were taught in school.
Social reaction
This book has not only sparked reactions from parents, but on social media platforms.
A user @JapanesePolar tweeted: “This is Granddad’s Pride, by Harry Woodgate. Marketed for 2-7yr olds. Spot the man in fetish gear; the young woman who has had her breasts removed; the girl holding the “love is love is love” flag – classic paedophilia grooming messaging. It’s really not ‘Be Kind’.”
Another user Ali Bee@OldWomanSinging wrote: “I don’t know if anyone caught this in the foul granddad’s pride book, but a ‘Gilbert’ is slang for a paedo and of course Gilbert loves chickens.
Jane, Empress of the Known Universe (but not a GP)@blablafishcakes wrote: “It gets worse. Look what else is smuggled into the illustrations of “Grandad’s Pride”. Two MAPs alongside the sign “Love is Love is Love”. If you know the code, you know… if you don’t: MAPs are Minor Attracted Persons and Love is Love is the covert little mantra of paedophiles.”

Thanks for this, very helpful to know the language being used. Good to see some concerned parents taking action. We need to get the church vocally supporting parents against this agenda; my view is no salt and light action, no revival.
