Sir,

 

The Scottish Government will be the last to inform families, with young children, about the bizarre ‘up their sleeve’ agenda they have in store for them in 2019.

 

What has come to light in recent days truly beggars belief. New teaching materials created by the Scottish Government, Education Scotland and the NHS advise that kids aged between five and nine-years-old should be taught about the so-called ‘gender issue.’

 

Yes, children as young as five in Scotland are to be allowed to choose their own gender.

 

As part of the Curriculum for Excellence, the guidelines – which come into effect next year - state that children need to learn about gender to be able to “learn about themselves. The materials become more menacing as you read the details.

 

In discussing gender equality and gender stereotypes, it goes on to say that children, “need to learn about what we mean by gender, that this is different from the sex we are assigned at birth…and that gender is about how we see and present ourselves in the world.”

 

It then goes on to explain that teachers should tell children, “Your gender is what you decide. You might be a boy or a girl, or maybe you don’t like to decide that. Your sex is what you are told by a doctor when you are born. Most people are told they are a male child (a boy) or a female child (a girl). People might think they know your gender because of the clothes you wear or the things you like to do. You are a unique person, you know who you are.”

 

In other words, pupils will be asked to decide – at the age of five - whether they are a boy, a girl or neither. Incredible.

 

The bullying and brainwashing of every Scottish child, hardly out of nappies is deeply disturbing. Shameless Scottish Government politicians and other regime officials ought to be ashamed of themselves, for not recognising and respecting children for what they are, and ever will be, male/boy/he or female/girl/she. At birth, parents are issued with a certificate confirming what they are – and nothing will change that, not even political bullies in Edinburgh.

 

The deplorable proposals leave Hollywood politicians wholly guilty of state sponsored child-abuse, and subsequently unfit for public office.
