A new book on sex and gender. The UCU has done a mass mail out calling for the launch it to be scrapped and, possibly, libeĺling the people involved in it. They're threatening to protest the launch. As usual, Edinburgh University have issued a very milquetoast statement before, I assume, taking to their fainting couch.

Thanks for sharing, @IcakethereforeIam. I can't help but notice there's a claim that the book breaches the EQA 2010. They do like to claim this but never explain exactly how it does so. Probably because the EQA doesn't work how they think it does.

They make that claim whilst they themselves actively breach it by discriminating on the basis of belief.

Oh FFS. From previous experience I can confidently predict that a few masked children will blockade the lecture theatre and the launch will be cancelled.

Edinburgh Uni really is being pathetic over reining in these "protesters", and that UCU branch is a disgrace, and seems to have forgotten that is there to represent all its members, not just adherents to this new religion.

About how embedded 'nakedly ideological' sex and race theories are in teaching at Scottish universities and how much is spent on EDI.
