Scotland, on 8 November, became the first country in the world to require its schools to embed LGBT history and inclusion throughout the curriculum.
The Deputy First Minister said the Scottish Government will mandate all state schools to ‘teach LGBTI equality and inclusion’ to different age groups across different subjects. All 33 recommendations from the LGBTI Inclusive Education Working Group were accepted.
Pupils who don’t subscribe to these state-sanctioned views risk being isolated. The Church of England raised this issue in response to the government proposal that faith views on RSE be confined to RE lessons, thus banning faith whilst RSE is taught.
