Brook also urges them to drape classrooms with the LGBT rainbow flag.

One module in its £35 “gender diversity” online course says that schools should let boys use girls’ toilets if they identify as female, and vice versa.
A lesson plan for 12-year-olds suggests showing them trans or non-binary celebrities to explain ideas of sex and gender.
The material pumped out by the group insists transitioning is “almost always a positive experience”.
We uncovered it just days after Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch warned schools were suffering from an “epidemic” of children being told they are transgender.
Tory MP Nick Fletcher said the Brook material was “almost certainly unlawful” under the Education Act that says partisan and contested ideologies should not be promoted in schools.
He called the section on transitioning “inaccurate and highly irresponsible”.
Lucy Marsh, of the Family Education Trust, said: “Schools are not vehicles to indoctrinate children.”
A Government spokesman said: “Reports of these materials being used are deeply concerning.”
Brook, which last year received nearly £7million from local authorities, said its course was “informed by the lived experience of young people”.
