That's the question we should always go back to Sun

'Why?'

Why is there this obsession with trying to ram LGBT into primary schools? Why are people wanting to introduce sexuality to pre-sexual children? It's an adult agenda that should have no place in children's lives.

It's no surprise - he's a professor at Goldsmiths, where students would like women to be reeducated in Gulags.

He loves to talk over female authors

Oh surprise.

A disdain for women and girls does seem to be pre-requisite for 'queering'.

Of course, I’ve never ever come across any diverse characters in children’s books. Never ever ever. Hmm
He loves to talk over female authors on that Radio 4 book programme.

Kick ass princesses and kids with two mums are a dime a dozen in the kid lit world already.

not everything about queering children's literature is about TRA propaganda. it is right and appropriate for there to be more representation of non heteronormative relationships in kids books. there should be stories where the princess is rescued by another princess, or where some characters have two mums or two dads without that being the focus (or title) of the book.

I have no idea how woke bloke Rosen is, but it seems a bit of a leap to assume that this is all about filling books with sexist ideas about making sure bodies and pronouns match clothing style.

Doesn't surprise me at all. He's always been so left-leaning as to be practically horizontal. I'm thinking in particular of his appalling defence of Corbyn et al in the anti-semitism scandal. This is right up his street.

I'm crying with you, Literally
