Could this be a reason why a school head-teacher refused to give permission for Genesis 1:27 to be quoted during a school assembly?

The visitor, who was to address many British school children on some of the things taught in the opening chapters of Genesis (and who I personally know, hearing this from him first-hand), had his talk vetted by the school head-teacher in advance. He was told he could not quote Genesis 1:27 which says: > “In the image of God he created him: male and female he created them.” I have now seen this quote from the Gnostic *“Gospel of Thomas”* - > “When you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the > male not be male nor the female female… then you will enter the > kingdom.” 15 > > 15 The Gospel of Thomas, Logion 114, in Meyer, M W, *The Gospel of > Thomas: The Hidden Sayings of Jesus*, Harper Collins, 1992, page 33. There’s no suggestion that the head-teacher knew of this quote, or believed it, but given the way British school children seem to be being encouraged to consider ‘transitioning’ sexually, might this be behind such social engineering attempts these days? I don’t have any access to this quote and wonder ***if it can be vouched for as authentic, and if there are any other similar ideas in The Gospel of Thomas?*** Please note, I am NOT looking for exposition of Genesis 1:27; this is not a hermeneutic question but one about possible attempts to control Christian discussion of God’s creation in the hearing of some British school children. EDIT: The possible connection I’m seeking information about is that the biblical quote clearly states that God created humanity with male and female distinctives, distinctly, whereas Gnosticism is diametrically opposed to that particular point and is an ancient religion. (Reminds me of “There is nothing new under the sun”. Ecclesiastes 1:9) I’m not wanting opinions about gender but I do wonder if there is an agenda behind the modern trend being promoted in many schools. Having had clarification in an answer re. the Gnostic quotes involved, my question may now be answered as far as it can go here. Unless someone knows more?
