The UK government is set to face a lawsuit for allowing children as young as five be taught age- inappropriate topics in Relationships and Sex Education (RSE).
Equality/ Human Rights lawyer Dr Anna Loutfi, of the Bad Law Project and families of some of the children concerned (which is almost all of them!) have come together to file a class action lawsuit against the Department for Education of the UK government.
They are calling for Personal Social Health and Education (PSHE), which RSE comes under, to be abolished from schools and for parents to have the right to withdraw their children from lessons dealing with sex, health and relationships.

Speaking on GBNews, Dr Anna Loutfi said, ‘The problem is not teaching children in schools, but the issue is rogue actors posing as charities otherwise known as the third sector and these organisations are completely unregulated.
‘They produce the materials. Sometimes they are produced outside the national jurisdiction. For example, we found certain local education authorities using materials that have been taken from the United States of America, and there is no oversight on the content of these materials. Advocacy groups are picking their own ideas of what they think is okay for children to know. Parents are not allowed to be part of the discussion’, she said.

Dr Loutfi added that ‘Thanks to the third sector, we have lost control of regulation, in the same manner we would do if there had been a military coup, and we had a Junter taking control of the schools. We are not allowed to have conversations about what these materials are for.
‘ As a nation, we have lost any discernment of what age groups are suitable for certain kinds of materials. As a country and a society, we have to be discerning about what we embrace, encourage, and what we don’t.’
Unlawful to teach gender ideology and identity as fact
The Education Act 1996 is explicit that the promotion of any idea that is contentious is unlawful. By promotion, the statute maintains that contentions ideas cannot be presented as if it is the only version available in that area. It has to be a dispassionate, fair, and non-partisan presentation of the fact.
Even Section 56 (sub 403) of the Education Act 1996 states that the Secretary of State must issue guidance designed to secure that when sex education is given to registered pupils at maintained schools—
(a) they learn the nature of marriage and its importance for family life and the bringing up of children, and
(b) they are protected from teaching and materials which are inappropriate having regard to the age and the religious and cultural background of the pupils concerned.
The question is, why is this part of the law ignored by sex educators?
The Bible stresses the importance of doing things God’s way and avoiding the unruly:
Proverbs 28:7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
And here is some of what the Bible teaches about the purpose of education:
Deuteronomy 6:7 And thou shalt teach them (God’s laws) diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Unlawful to keep parents in the dark
Section 56/404 of the Education Act 1996 says that schools cannot keep parents from knowing about the sex education being taught to their children.
The statute says that schools should make, and keep up to date, a separate written statement of the schools’ policy with regard to the provision of sex education, and (b)make copies of the statement available for inspection (at all reasonable times) by parents of registered pupils at the school and provide a copy of the statement free of charge to any such parent who asks for one.
And yet a mother lost her case in court when she demanded a school share sex education materials, taught to her daughter, brought in by a publicly-funded third sector body with charitable status.
Under Freedom of Information laws, Clare Page requested that the lesson plan, accompanying slides, and the names of the facilitators be released after her daughter was taught that hetero-normativity was a ‘bad thing’, and that she should be ‘sex positive’ in her relationships.
The School of Sexuality Education, which hosted the class at Hatcham College, a state school in New Cross, Southeast London, refused to release the information which led to Mrs Page making legal action. But a judge said she had no right to see them.

Stonewall and Mermaids’ roles
Stonewall and Mermaids, both promoters of sodomy and transgenderism, have been especially blamed for their propaganda in schools. Dr Loutfi described them as two main actors among other charities pushing gender ideology in schools. She questioned why the UK government consults these two organisations and not other bodies with different views.
‘Why have these charities redesigned the law according to their fantasy to saying “gender reassignment” can be with any age, and anyone who goes against this, is a bigot, as against what the law says which is 18?
‘This is contrary to the Equality Act 2010, which has a list of protected characteristics on the basis of non-discrimination, one of which is “gender reassignment” (GRA 2004)’. It permits only people who are 18 and above to make this decision.’
The lawyer added that we live in a society driven by the repetition of slogans and mantras. Even government ministers and lawyers are disregarding the letter of the law and going with mantras seen on social media. However, the Department of Education should be held accountable for neglecting to address this issue which has resulted in so many young people self-harming, socially transitioning, and sometimes “medically transitioning”.
According to the sense of the Bible, it is not okay to permit “gender reassignment” at any age, let alone for children. Those who support prescribing damaging hormones to children are well described in Scripture:
Job 13:4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
In previous articles, Christian Voice has asserted that emotions and wants during puberty are not connected to what activists refer to as “gender identity and dysphoria.” What matters is good parenting with the help of God, being watchful and discerning when something is wrong, and getting the right help without brainwashing the child with unhealthy ideologies.
In the Gospel, our Lord took it as understood that a physician would be nowhere near adolescent boys and girls with absolutely nothing wrong with them:
Matt 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Just what was physically wrong with Jasmine that caused a wicked surgeon to remove her perfectly healthy breasts? The answer is ‘nothing at all’. She was just growing up:

Trans Guidance delayed
The government has delayed publishing its “transgender guidance for schools” after its legal advisors concluded it would be in breach of the Equality Act 2010.

The Prime Minister himself admitted that the long-awaited advice for teachers is still being worked on despite previously promising it would be issued before the end of the summer term. That date has now passed.
He is under pressure, say the papers, from ‘some Tory MPs and campaigners’; to ensure that the guidance stops schoolchildren changing their names, pronouns, hairstyles, and uniforms to match their preferred gender. So why is he doing nothing?

Wow, this an amazing story (of fact). First praise God that this is happening, at long last some people are getting together and doing this – that is not to take away from the many brave people who have tried this in the past. Is it possible that something big is now moving across the country that this court action could tap into, and bring about change? Have parents finally decided they have had enough of this RSE garbage and attack on children?
I would love to think that this could be a watershed moment but I have been so disappointed before. I will pray like I have been for 5 or more years for this to change things – I am bitterly critical of the UK church for its cowardice and hypocrisy in doing almost nothing and being almost silent over this massive issue. Many churches actually support RSE.
Had the UK church risen up and taken up the role of guarding the family and children and opposed RSE tooth and nail, we would not be in the mess we are in now. The church signally failed and is now paying the price. You have to be salt and fiery light church leaders, not pro-state stooges, who go along with whatever half baked government agendas are rolled out against us(I am not including those churches that did actively oppose these agendas but they are the exceptions that prove the rule). RSE was always an anti-family, anti-children, anti-christian, anti-faith agenda. Maybe we will get a real church out of this catastrophe, it must be one that actually protests and actively protects the young.
Look up Marriage Sex Culture Group, of Anglican Mainstream – they are a good source of resource material and at the forefront of opposing the horrible RSE agenda.
Read about the Christian in Kenya who has been recently beaten up by thugs for trying to help and counsel ex-gay men.
“… and we had a hunter taking control of the schools ”—Shouldn’t this be Junta?
Thinking about it, and the predatory nature of the activists, may be, ‘hunter’ is a good replacement.

Thank you, Boffey.
Are Christian Leaders across UK uniting and coming against all of this? Are they joining as one and speaking out?
It’s a brilliant question, Nina. They probably have other things on their minds. Like the new sound system, or an evangelical outreach in the town. In the midst of day-to-day running of a church, the example set by the prophets can easily be forgotten. So it will be down to people like you.
I have found church/christian leaders very reluctant to speak out against these issues even when it is about defending children. Marriage, Sex, Culture group of Anglican Mainstream says the same, often pointing out that the UK church is AWOL, AATW(Asleep at the wheel) and MIA(Missing in action). Any church that gets going on this area I believe will reap a massive harvest. Parents do not agree with any of this agenda,. The first church that becomes the go-to, pro-family hub, will get people running to it; the media will not like it but the community will love it – and support it.
Also leaders are living in the past, often they say ‘We only preach the gospel here’. Well the gospel means being salt and light, no better example of being that would be to defend the children.
