As a parent you are well within your right to voice an objection. Try to get other parents on side about it so they can't ignore you. It's not being homophobic to say this material is not age appropriate. Give them a link to this video.
The 2020 "Statutory guidance on Relationships education,
relationships and sex education (RSE) and health education"
Does NOT require using simplistic picture books about LGBT issues
Does NOT require positive messaging about abandoning biological sex
Does NOT require mention of homosexual love other than
"some families might have same sex parents" and not until late primary
Does NOT require any of the books described in this video
Does NOT require use of LGBT promotion organisations
Does NOT require any sex education in primary schools
Does NOT stop parents right to withdraw their child from all sex education
Don't let your child's school tell you otherwise
