A father who wore a gorilla costume for his daughter on her last day of term was left stunned to be told by her 'woke' school his actions were 'a serious safeguarding concern'.
What? It seems they objectted to a face covering as they couldn't tell who was picking up the child! One wonders how they'd deal with a tranny. Or someone in a burkha. I suspect those would be treated rather differently.
It was seven-year-old Addie's last day of Year 2 when Mr Napthine decided to don the gorilla suit as a bit of fun. The dad-of-two, a self-employed horse dentist and farmer, said: 'It's a little village school and I live just opposite it.'The other day I put a horse's head on, so on the last day of school I put on a gorilla outfit.
'Then, I got this snotty text off the school, saying it's a "serious safeguarding issue".' The text, shared by Mr Napthine, read: 'Please do not come into school in a costume or mask. 'This is a serious safeguarding issue. It has also upset some of the children & caused concern for adults.'
The school is unrepentant:
....the school argued that staff need to be aware of who is on premises at all times and a costume would not allow them to be sure who was walking in....
So there you go, Mr Napthine - you know what to dress as next time.

Perhaps next time, he could dress up as John Bull? Watching the teachers heads exploding could be quite fun.

They objected because the face covering meant they didn't know who he was.
Fair enough, I suppose, but then they sent him a text. So they did know who he was.
