Drag Queen Story Hour in Scottish Primary School

Just wrote loads of long responses to the consultation and lost them aargh. Will do it again tomorrow.

As a woman with 2 small children, one starting primary school in August I am terrified by the ultra-woke shitshow in charge, pushing a dangerous agenda onto the majority for the sake of a powerful minority.

My DS is 4 and regularly complains he's not a girl. Parenting 10 years ago I wouldn't have thought twice about it, but now I'm genuinely worried he says the wrong thing to the wrong person in school and ends up on a path we as parents can't stop. I know it seems overly-dramatic but the level of wokeness around this issue scares me.

He also regularly wants to be dinosaur, and today he mournfully wished 'all of the wet things in the entire world would just dry up' and asked if the police were actually real or pretend so his apparently strong desire to be a girl doesn't hold a lot of sway...

I would also report to Ofsted and the Governing body
We don't have either here - but the council education department is a good place to start.

Oh that ok then, the kids asked for a drag queen.

Incidentally, Flow describes herself as a trans woman

Why have so many people completely lost the plot in terms of not understanding that just because something is OK for adults that doesn't mean it's OK for children? If Mhairi Black and her mate with the blowjob joke in his drag name want to run around town being as sexualized as they like that's fine, as long as they're not doing it in front of kids. It wouldn't be OK for straight people to be doing that stuff in front of kids either. The distinction here is not straight/gay, it's "for adults" versus "suitable for small children", so why is in criticism of stuff like this in schools framed as homophobia?

I don't give a shit what drag queens get up to when they're out clubbing, it's just not appropriate to be taking your oral sex jokes based act into primary schools.

It would be the local council, although the snp in Renfrewshire are in a bit of turmoil. Currently Derek Mackay MSP, From neighbouring Scottish parliament constituency has resigned from the snp after an newspaper expose of unsolicitated texts to a 16 yr old boy.

I'd already seen the pictures. At first it sounded great, teaching tolerance of gay people, lesbian HT trying to give perspectives. But that drag queen? Even visually its full on drag, even a fairly benign transsexual would be more tolerable though again different to homosexuality.

Many children will ask why they're called 'flowjobqueen'.

And many of them will google the act and find these images on the first page.

Mhairi Black has as much understanding of child safeguarding as Aimee Challenor and should be investigated.

Good point StoneRabbit. I live in England and don't know how the Scottish education system works. If someone needed to raise an issue above the head of a Scottish school, who do they report to?

Fucking hell.

This is bad enough in libraries where the session is opt-in and the parents stay.

I didn't see the tweets before they were protected. Is this happening during a normal school day? Not a half-term activity or something like that?

Floral's excellent safeguarding thread:

I would also report to Ofsted and the Governing body

OFSTED's remit is England and there are no governing bodies in Scottish schools.

Not to derail but it is as bloody tiresome having England set as the default for four very different countries making up the UK as it is bloody tiresome having fifth columnists like Black supporting this shit.

Anyone can report. I'm a teacher BTW.

Can anyone report to Ofsted or do you need kids at the school. You shouldn't if it is a safeguarding issue?

Think these photos should be on AIBU

The head teacher of a primary school invited him in, in drag, to read to children to help educate them about people being homosexual? What? Is she massively homophobic or something?

Evidently this headteacher (and an MP) reckoned that this person was a perfect role model for primary children. I'm not sure quite what they based this on? What level of due diligence / safeguarding knowledge they applied in deciding that he was the best positive LGBT+++ role model to children as young as 5 ?
Out of all the possible people they could have selected this is who they chose?

This Primary needs immediately to be flagged to the Council as a serious safeguarding concern.

I would also report to Ofsted and the Governing body.

If it's the school I think it is I think one of their points of pride was how many trans kids there were. Remembering it's a primary school.

They seem to have an incredibly close relationship with LGBTYS who retweet all of their tweets.

Some of the stuff they do is good I think, but there is a massive focus on the LGBT.

Him.

Flowjob's Twitter feed is utterly inappropriate for children. And of course they are going to Google her.

Why has this person been invited to schools again?

Pics 2

The lad going by the name of FlowJob seems nice enough but he is not a suitable person to be reading to school kids in his drag persona. Whoever invited him is an irresponsible idiot. Here's his twitter pics that are obviously easily found by young people.

There was a 'Drag Queen Story Time' event at the National Gallery the other day. DP and I thought, how inappropriate?

I even watched a show at the South Bank for children called Duckie. A modern spin on The Ugly Duckling on stage, played by a drag queen. There was something very "off" about. I didnt like it one bit.

Haha! Perfect.

We need to warn children about the dangers. Someone needs to come up with a children's story about a dangerous creature, say a big bad wolf, who dresses up as a harmless granny to gain access to a vulnerable child whose mother has no idea about safeguarding.
