mmm...there was a quote many decades ago from a young lady who testified along the lines (albeit in the singular ..) that "well they would say that wouldn't they"

My point exactly! The Daily Mail would say that anyway. Apart from a clutch of Tory nutters they even quote Laurence Fox! That should tell you everything. Far be it for me to say but you could do a lot better than reading populist trash like the Daily Mail.

...each to their own poison.....
I look forward to litigation against them if the Daily Mail et al are proved incorrect.

Re: Is this really happening?

Not that I wanted to click a link or worse read an article in that absolute dogshit of a 'news'paper
but from a quick scan of that, other than the headline, it doesn't say any of this is being taught. it basically says there are some questionable teaching materials available online somewhere. "MailOnline can reveal that a wealth of questionable teaching resources are already available online. Colouring books, word searches and cartoon drawings have also been given to young girls and boys by 'activist teachers' in their 'overarching mission to sexualise children in the name of inclusion'."

it's like someone reporting that all asylum seekers are terrorists because there's a terrorist online and...

oh

I’d be interested to know why an article that names no teachers, cites no examples and refers to material that has no identified source would bring ostriches and sand to mind, or be litigious

Not sure why anyone would see it as relevant at all

Re: Is this really happening?

A number of schools and local authorities are named, several have not responded.

Surely the very fact that this materiel is being peddled to such age groups should cause any rational being to be concerned.
Then people wonder why they have problems in later life.

If you cannot see the decay that is creeping into society under the guise of education, there is nothing left for me to say.
