Really disturbing anti science and authoritarian, though I have some sympathy for the brainwashed teacher who is following policy twitter.com/lporiginalg/status/1139572227307794432?s=19

Leaving aside the rights and wrongs of what the teacher is saying, the filming (and posting on social media) makes me feel very uncomfortable.

Thanks Jackey for putting up a clicky link. Gives a lie to the, "this doesn't affect you" guff.

The teacher nearly called Murray 'Brian' at one point. He'll probably feel worse about that than kicking a student out of class for 'unapproved opinions'.

“Not all policy is scientific” is one of the weakest pro-gender arguments I’ve heard yet. It is clearly admitting that the speaker believes it’s fine for policy to be unevidenced.

Yes, the lad meant sex not gender - which is clear at the end when he says there are 2 genders male and female and anything else is personal identity. But fair play to him, he’s under 18 and has grown up with the all-pervasive gender ideology reigning supreme, I applaud him sticking to his convictions even if his terminology was blurred. Also very impressed how calm and concise the young lad was compared to the teacher, a grown adult who I guess is experienced and handling ‘disruptive behaviour’ (not that this was) - the teacher was incredibly flustered and came across pretty aggressively in his tone & hand gestures to a pupil.

Jacky.. betraying women and generation of children. 😞

Good on that lad ! He’ll go far.

The question is:

What the F**K is Nicola Sturgeon and her government up to?

borntobequiet · 14/06/2019 20:31

Wow. Well done Murray.

Hey Mr Teacher man, your job is to teach scientific fact, not indoctrinate and gaslight bullshit. If i were a parent with a child at this school I’d be on the phone now to the school governors.

GurlwiththeCurl · 14/06/2019 20:29

Well done Murray, although I wish he had said sex instead of gender, but we can’t have everything!

howwudufeel · 14/06/2019 20:29

i can imagine my DS getting into exactly the same argument because he feels exactly the same as that young man.

Deathgrip · 14/06/2019 20:27

If there are more than two genders (I mean, there could be 847 since genders aren’t a real thing), what does this policy say the others are?

If TWAW, and TMAM, there are still only two... right? Oh, and “non-binary” I guess, but that still implies two.

I swear I'm going to teach my son to quote Hannah Arendt and George Orwell by age 8.

Yes indeed, how many fingers am I holding up, Winston.

OvaHere · 14/06/2019 20:24

OMG

Well done that young man (although I wish he'd used the term sex).

Totalitarian stuff.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 14/06/2019 20:23

Well, that's terrifying.

Ereshkigal · 14/06/2019 20:22

Just watched this. Wow. 1984.

Crikey! That is horrifying! From the accents I am guessing this is in a Scottish school?
