“Dear Historic England Education Officer,
We think there is value in teaching children our age about people such as Anne Lister and Edward Carpenter because they are remarkable, courageous people that should not be criticised or forgotten.
Learning about the LGBT past gives the children the potential to see how people were treated in the past and how they should be treated now. Also, if anybody is questioning their sexuality it gives them the confidence to be open about it and not ashamed. This should definitely be taught into the future so that being gay is associated as normal as much is being straight is.
We enjoyed learning about LGBT because it allows us the chance to be put in other people’s shoes. Learning about this could potentially prevent discrimination of gay rights and lesbian rights.
Yours sincerely
Three Year Sevens at Dronfield Henry Fanshawe School”
