Teachers will be given training to spot the signs of misogyny and tackle it in the classroom as part of the government's long-awaited strategy to halve violence against women and girls within the next decade. The plans - which focus on preventing the radicalisation of young men - are due to be unveiled on Thursday, after being pushed back three times this year.
Because the government thinks that a fraction of a school day is sufficient to overcome whatever you've picked up over a lifetime of home and religious indoctrination. I'm kidding, no-one in this government thinks at all. It's performative theatre. Starmer watched 'Adolescence' and thought it was a documentary.
We all know what's going to happen the first time the Muslims kick off about it, don't we? There's already a teacher who could tell us all, if he wasn't in hiding...
Pupils will be taught about issues such as consent, the dangers of sharing intimate images, how to identify positive role models, and to challenge unhealthy myths about women and relationships. The £20m package will also include a new helpline for teenagers to get support for concerns about abuse in their own relationships.
Will it include a helpline for the teachers too? They are going to need it.
Under the new plans, schools will send high-risk students to get extra care and support, including behavioural courses to tackle their prejudice against women and girls.
The demographics of these courses are going to prove interesting...
In response to the government plans, some teachers said schools were already doing the kind of work the measures outlined. "While we welcome any initiative that prioritises healthy relationships and consent education, it's important to recognise that schools like Beacon Hill Academy in Dudley have been delivering this work effectively for years," Principal Sukhjot Dhami said.
Dudley, eh? I think it's too late for most of the population.
