The Prime Minister insisted new guidance for schools will “protect” children after Andrew Bridgen said they are being “indoctrinated” on transgender issues.
Mr Bridgen, who was kicked out of the Conservative Party earlier this year and now sits as a Reclaim Party MP, alleged schools are encouraging children to socially transition – sometimes in a breach of parents’ human rights.
Speaking on Wednesday at Prime Minister’s Questions, he said: “Does the Prime Minister agree that it is completely inappropriate for schools to encourage young people under the age of 18 to socially transition, for example by changing their names and their pronouns?
“All this is going on without parental consent, or even knowledge, in breach of parents’ human rights.
“Will the Prime Minister instruct the Department for Education to order schools to stop indoctrinating our children and to concentrate on their duty of care to protect them?”
