We must stop ‘absolutely crazy’ gender identity ideology Tim Dieppe tells LBC

20 June 2023

Our head of public policy, Tim Dieppe, explains to LBC Radio’s why we must put a stop to the “utter confusion and nonsense” that is being caused by gender identity ideology in schools.

His comments follow the exposure of a teacher at a Church of England school branding a child as “despicable” and giving them a detention for not affirming another pupil’s identity as a cat.

 

Our chief executive, Andrea Williams, told the Mail how this insidious ideology isn’t just having a negative impact on children but is also impacting teachers and other schools workers too.

Hannah (not her real name) worked for seven years at a school with no issues before losing her job for raising safeguarding concerns over the social transition of a pupil in her class.

Despite an exemplary record as a maths teacher, Joshua Sutcliffe was banned from teaching for ‘misgendering’ a pupil.

The Christian Legal Centre is supporting Hannah, Joshua and many others teachers. Please remember them in your prayers and that the upcoming transgender guidance for schools would exonerate them.
