Scotland Says NO to Transgender Guidelines Being Introduced in Scottish Schools

The Issue

The  Scottish Government have recently published their guidelines to schools, which  proposes to permit children as young as 4 years old to choose their own gender? Furthermore the guidelines advise  Teachers that if a child seeks advice or advises them that they are concerned about their gender Parents are not to be informed? These guidelines have been agreed between the SNP and Stonewall, a Charitable Political Pressure Group without any consultation with Parents. While we are not in any way against the LGBT community or Stonewall. We question the legality and morality of these Guidelines.  We also suggest  that they risk indoctrination of children by imposing visual images and reading material beyond the full understanding and comprehension of children of Primary School age.  We therefor demand  this these guidelines and associated posters and books are removed from our  Primary Schools  on the grounds that they  contravene the Human Rights Legislation. https://www.gov.scot/publications/supporting-transgender-young-people-schools-guidance-scottish-schools/?fbclid=IwAR0oa3fAxxuETvZVvGu-HwkzeAjbVf8-WXH4M7NlUigGBhmyT5bnny73cGg
