Parents in the Isle of Man say their primary school-age children were left “traumatised” after being exposed to explicit material presented at Queen Elizabeth II High School, including a lesson on how to masturbate – and a video on how a skin graft was used to make an artificial penis for a transgender man.
Children were also told by a Drag Queen that there were 73 genders – and when one child said that there was only two, the child was forced to leave the class because they had been “offensive” to the Drag Queen.
From The Telegraph’s report:
Parents of pupils at Queen Elizabeth II High School in Peel, on the Isle of Man, have reported that Year 7 pupils were taught by a drag queen who told them there are 73 genders.
When one “upset” child responded and said “there’s only two”, the drag queen allegedly responded “you’ve upset me” and made the pupil leave the class.
Some 11-year-olds at the school were taught about oral and anal sex, while another group learned about sex change operations and were shown how skin graft taken from a girl’s arm could be used on an artificial penis, according to reports.
“A lot of children are just too traumatised to even talk to their parents,” Eliza Cox, vice-chairman of Marown Commissioners, told Energy FM Isle of Man. “As a parent, you don’t know what children are being taught.”
She said that one teacher on the island had told her she had to teach a group of boys and girls in Years 7 and 8 how to masturbate. Another teacher was said to be so uncomfortable with the content of the PSHE curriculum that they told pupils: “Please don’t listen to me” while they taught the lesson.
Moe than 500 parents called for an “immediate investigation” into the sex-education curriculum, expressing anger that they had not been consulted about the course or the explicit nature of what the children were being taught.
The petition read: ‘We consider the attendance of a “drag queen” in class and alienating students clearly confused about the information discussed during this session wholly inappropriate.”
“How, who and why was this guest speaker permitted to discuss gender issues to an inappropriate child audience by an inexperienced and untrained adult?” it added.
A drag queen told a class of 11 year-olds in Isle of Man schools that there were 73 genders, and threw out one child who disagreed.

Addressing the controversy, the minister for education on The Isle of Man has said her department has made the “decision to pause all relationships and sex education (RSE) delivery across primary and secondary schools, and will be unable to comment further until the facts have been established.”
Minister Julia Edge said the Department of Education, Sports and Culture has now launched an independent review of its personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) curriculum.
Eliza Cox, vice-chairman of Marown Parish Commissioners, told Energy FM on the Isle of Man: ‘A lot of children are just too traumatised to even talk to their parents. As a parent, you don’t know what children are being taught.’
'It's the fact they've gone in without the parents being asked if it's ok.'

The Telegraph reports that, Miriam Cates, “the British Conservative MP who sits on the House of Commons’ education select committee, has warned that parents in England are also being kept in the dark about age-inappropriate content being taught to children in sex education.”
She said: “When parents raise serious safeguarding concerns about inappropriate and sexualising materials being used in sex education lessons in schools, the right response is to pause these lessons whilst the matter can be investigated.
“I applaud the authorities in the Isle of Man for making this decision. But similar – and worse – materials are being used in schools across the UK and the Department for Education has persistently ignored whistleblowers who raise concerns. The UK Government needs to take its lead from the Isle of Man.”
