What the petition asks
There has been a recent influx of anti-LGBT+ material being sent to schools in England. We are asking that any and all material, that is first and foremost designed to give a negative view of the LGBT+ community, be removed from schools.
Examples of how such material can be shown to be anti-LGBT+:
• they recommend conversion therapy.
• they scaremonger about conditions that are not legally recognised as clinical or medical conditions.
• they encourage school staff to break equality laws as stated in the EA2010.
• they give false information regarding the legally available treatment for transgender youth in the UK.
