The standard everywhere should be school staff stay out of students' personal lives. It's a no-brainer. Not only is it a liability for the school but it's a general breach of ethics. If a student has issues you tell the parents, or if the parents are abusive you call CPS. Your job as a teacher is to teach kids how to read and write and do math and send them the fuck home. That's it.

The fact that we're even debating schools' roles in students' personal lives is mindblowing to me.

The issue isn’t the same as in the US, largely because teachers here are used to keeping their politics out of the classroom. The issue is that because the government said “you need to teach sex and relationships to all children”, a not exactly a bad thing, but then didn’t follow it up with “and here is how and what you teach” which is what they generally do for all other subjects (the what, not the how). This gap in the curriculum was filled by the usual suspects, including stonewall, and this meant that a whole heap of nonsense was brought into schools and taught by largely well meaning but ignorant of the subject non-specialist teachers who were also being subjected to indoctrination by these groups.

It’s a fucking mess, and I think I would refuse to cooperate if I didn’t have a really good state school that hasn’t fallen for this shit.

There are several things that worry me.

A) incoming new teachers seem to be much more like their US colleagues, the largely young female “queer” identifying and judging by the teaching reddits, a lot self diagnose with autism and adhd. The major union, my union, is woke beyond belief now.

B) the increasingly radical pupils, bringing their TikTok political shit into school, they are being infected with the social contagion of troonery, largely troonettes, and demanding special treatment.

The one thing that gives me hope is that, contrary to how it feels/appears, troonery is on the retreat, normies have begun to wake up to how batshit crazy it all is, be it troonery, queer theory, crt, we have passed the peak.

I wouldn't get your hopes up too much. The force of Cultural Marxism and its derivations is by no means done with the "Long March through the Institutions" and they will not give up their infection of academia and schools and children because they know it's their best shot at total ideological subversion. Get 'em while they're young before they have a chance to form their own opinions. I think there will have to be bloodshed before they are driven out of academia and schools; they will not go easily.

I think even James Lindsay says that things have peaked. It’ll probably take ages to get rid of it from policy and government and it’ll probably always be there in the universities, but people are waking up and the thing is it has always been a powerful minority that give the impression of it being much more widely supported than it really is. Disney is learning this the very hard and expensive way.

I hope you're right but I'm not betting on it just yet. Ten years ago when the safe-space SJW nonsense on college campuses started I laughed it off thinking the real world would chew them up and spit them into the dumpster behind Wendy's. Ten years later, those same SJWs made way more progress than I ever thought possible. They are in education, advertising, journalism, medicine, human resources, pop culture, fucking everywhere, and they have alarming amounts of money, power and influence.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had promised the advice before the summer holidays, which begin this week for many schools.

The delay is because the attorney general for England and Wales has advised part of the guidance may be unlawful.

School leaders said the delay was frustrating. One of the most controversial matters the guidance was expected to address is what schools should do if a child wanted to change their name, use different pronouns or change their appearance, hairstyle or clothes - what is known as socially transitioning - and whether to involve parents in the decision.

In 2020, a report commissioned by NHS England found that socially transitioning was not a neutral act - but neither was doing nothing - and more information was needed about its outcomes. Ministers were considering advising against allowing social transitioning in schools altogether. But, as first reported in the Times, the attorney general, Victoria Prentis, has said an outright ban would be unlawful.

Looks like they might have to introduce legislation rather than just issue guidance. Remember, this is a Conservative government.

I’m a lifelong Labour voter, and I’m dreading the next government which is likely to be a Starmer-led Labour one, because with just a few exceptions they have thoroughly bought into queer theory, intersectional feminism, gender theory, post-colonial theory and critical race theory.

intersectional feminism

What's that?

Starmerism's now every soft-left cafeteria identity issue combined with complete disregard for any labo(u)rer

the Tories are noblesse without the oblige (though Sunak was pretty good when he played the Master, Dr Who felt like Dr Who again)

The frustrating thing is, I’m fairly certain Starmer himself doesn’t subscribe to any of it but he’s trying to keep the loons in his party in line. I’m some ways it feels worse than when Corbyn was leader, because at least with that guy I knew he fully supported the lunacy, with Starmer I sort of see the look of a hostage in his eyes and his answers to questions seem wishy-washy whereas true believers, like his deputy, don’t mince words.
