Bosses at the £20,000-a-year school told the woman to deliver the mea culpa after her class complained that she had said 'good afternoon, girls' at the start of a lesson, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
After being told by the pupils that 'not everyone here identifies as female', she arrived in class the following day to find they had pointedly written their names and pronouns on the board, including one who used they/them.
And did appeasing these little cherubs work? Reader, it did not, you'll no doubt be surprised to hear...
They also held a lunchtime protest after she refused to acknowledge their demands.
Hopefully she's now learned her lesson and is looking for a better school?
Last night, a spokesman for the trust declined to comment.
That's OK, others - including the Education Secretary - are commenting. And pointing. And laughing.
“Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages ...” George Orwell:1984
ReplyDeleteIt is particularly chilling that this happened less than a week after an assembly on gender led by older pupils using material - a video - which must have come from an outside agency. Given the potential for sixth-formers to influence impressionable younger pupils (arguably especially those who, in daycare from an early age, have imprinted on older children from the start), it Is the job of senior management to oversee these interactions and ensure that they do not overstep the mark.
In this case, the teacher has been badly let down by the management who should, at the very least, have reprimanded the class (or at least the ringleader - there will certainly have been one) for a lack of manners. I hope she finds another post where she will be treated with more consideration and dignity.
For some context and a taste of the shifting climate in schools, it’s worth looking at the sort of thing now being put online about ‘The Crucible’ (a frequently studied text for both English and Drama):
‘Although Abigail Williams is typically thought of as the antagonist of Arthur Miller's The Crucible, she is in fact a victim as much as any other tragic character in the play. The true antagonist of the play is the town of Salem itself, because of the judgemental and self-concerned people, and its oppressive views.’ (Sample essay from 123helpme)
I'm confused. We are told that not all of the girls in a girl's school identify as female. Elsewhere we are told that transgendered people insist on being treated as the gender to which they identify. What are these erstwhile girls, now boys, doing in a girl's school? Surely they should be expelled and transferred to a boy's or coeducational establishment. May the Lord help them all.
ReplyDeleteI suppose a sound thrashing across the naked buttocks is out of the question?

Where is Mandy when you need him?
Sorry, her...
Sorry, it...
Sorry, oh, fuck it.

ReplyDeleteI wonder if it rhymed with 'Loanfall'...?
"...it’s worth looking at the sort of thing now being put online about ‘The Crucible’ ..."
My irony meter just broke again!

You might say that. I couldn't possibly comment...

😉
Orwell got it right yet again.
ReplyDeleteHe intended 1984 to be a warning, but instead it is being used as an instruction manual.
I have written as much about the savages created by the Marxist infested education and grooming system. Wait until these monsters gain political power ..
