the mandatory roll-out won't officially take place until September 2020.

Just before the start of the summer holidays, waves of anti-LGBT demonstrators angrily protested outside schools in Birmingham and Nottingham following the announcement of the new curriculum.

State schools will have to provide relationships education for primary-age pupils as well as relationships and sex education for those in secondary school.

That includes learning about LGBT people and relationships.

The government is encouraging schools to adopt the new syllabus when term starts, despite the fact the mandatory roll-out won't officially take place until September 2020.

Protesters have repeatedly claimed that teaching about different relationships and family backgrounds was not "age appropriate" and was "over-emphasising a gay ethos".

Protesters have repeatedly claimed that teaching about different relationships and family backgrounds was not "age appropriate" and was "over-emphasising a gay ethos".

 

LGBT campaigners branded the demonstrations "homophobic".

 

In some of his first remarks on the proposed curriculum, Education Secretary Gavin Williams said: "Firstly, we shouldn't be seeing protests outside any schools.

 

State schools will have to provide relationships education for primary-age pupils as well as relationships and sex education for those in secondary school

 

 

"We want to make sure all pupils, parents and teachers are able to go to those schools freely without any form of intimidation", he added.

 

Mr Williams said: "We will be there supporting and backing every single school - that's what we have been doing.

 

"The purpose of it is we wanted to make sure every single school is able to teach about Britain as it is today - but also have the flexibility to ensure that it has an understanding of the communities which it operates in."

Good. LGBT and questioning youth shouldn't be saddled with albatross of state-sponsored silence and ignorance.
