Article in the Times Scotland section. I know it's not a parody but it reads in part like one:

I would do anything to avoid sending my DC to that school. The seriousness adults accord young people who want to be known as 'it', the possibility of social contagion, the gender stereotyping - it's unbelievable.

I can’t believe this isn’t a parody.

It's just written so fawningly (is that a word?) there isn't a hint of critical assessment by the writer.

It is totally wild and yes, that’s exactly what it’s like up here in the activist schools (it’s not my daughter’s former school, but is frighteningly similar).
