A British school has apologised after asking children as young as 11 to define “inappropriate” sexual terms including “transgender pornography”, but insisted that the homework was in line with government “equality” guidelines.
Archbishop Sentamu Academy in Hull said it was sorry for any offence caused following outcry from parents angered by the exercise.
Assigned to pupils aged between 11 and 14 as part of their Personal, Social, and Health Education (PSHE) class, the work asked children to “define” terms including “drag queen”, “LGBTQ+”, “hardcore porn”, “homosexual”, and “transvestite”.
Mrs Taylor, who has children at the academy, said she was “fuming” over the task, explaining: “My daughter is still very much a child, we’ve still got magic elves, her bedroom is done in My Little Pony. She is very innocent and naive.
“She was only in primary school last year living her best life, now she is being asked to search for hardcore pornography,” she told local newspaper the Hull Daily Mail. The newspaper reported topics on the homework sheet included “pornography, soft pornography, hardcore pornography and transsexual pornography, as well as female genital mutilation, wet dreams, trafficking, male circumcision, breast ironing and more.” Breitbart.
