Toilets....again

Just stumbled upon this tweet (a teacher -supposedly- calling a female student a TERF just because she's uncomfortable with 'gender neutral' loos. It's now reached the point that this dogma is used to bully school kids , FFS.
I can't seem to get the link to work.

Grasping at straws but just appalled by this. Those poor kids!

OhHolyJesus · 24/12/2019 09:53

If not OFSTED then Min or Ed?

OhHolyJesus · 24/12/2019 09:53

Contacts and Governor info here - they need to look at who doing their Twitter and what the hell is going on with their Safeguarding team.

Can't we report to OFSTED?

I think Ofsted drinks from the Kool Aid trough too.

I'm appalled that any school would tweet this.

I hope the governors receive a number of complaints from very concerned parents. Imagine any other abusive term being proudly tweeted to bash that very oppressed group with?

This is atrocious.

That was some years ago. He was sacked. But you’d think they’d be much more sensitive about safeguarding now.

OhHolyJesus · 24/12/2019 09:39

Jesus Christ Freda that's the HT? Can't we report to OFSTED? I mean this is just unbelievably out of order - schools have rules about indoctrination.

FredaFrogspawn · 24/12/2019 09:31

You didn’t have ‘an affair’ with a fifteen year old. You abused them.

Same school

Given they're almost certainly breaking the law on bathroom provision and are definitely using hate speech, what would be the right route of complaint? The LEA?

NotTerfNorCis · 24/12/2019 09:26

Interesting, that looks like an inner city school with a high proportion of students from ethnic backgrounds. Wonder how many of the girls (and boys) would be happy with unisex toilets.

Scrolling down their Twitter, there’s a photo of pupils modelling the Stonewall ‘Some People Are...” t shirts.

Siameasy · 24/12/2019 09:22

God I’m fuming at this. The likelihood is that some pointless numpty is in charge of the Twitter account and somehow (how?) heard of the story and tweeted it to be woke
If it’s a teacher who tweeted it, that’s a disgrace
Hope someone influential picks up on this

Transphobia is covered under bullying policies surely.
Dont upset the boys. Girls we will sexually harass you and you will put up with it to be kindHmm

I had a look at that school's twitter. It's horrifyingly political. I'm shocked it's a UK comp.

If that tweet in the OP really is directed at a current student then I think a complaint to govenors is the way forward.

Once it became clear which teacher sent it, I'd also complain to the teacher standards authority, this is against professional standards.

Got to add before and after.

Clicky

As for that school, someone needs to have a word.

Interestingly I've had two women complain to me about the shift to uni sex toilets. One was an older female teacher, she came out of the loo to find the head washing his hands. He had made the females uni sex over the holidays and not bothered to tell anyone.

Obviously, breaking regulations on how uni sex loos are meant to be set up, but, hey, it's only women right?

Another woman was telling me about how intimidating her old universities uni sex toilets were (in the student union), especially on a night.

Why can't we have third spaces, for those who want them. Why do women always get the shitty (or pissy) end of the stick?

If you complain, you've even got schools calling you a terf now. Creepy. I'm so so glad my kids don't go there.
