The DM must be sitting there all smug and satisfied to have you all fooled. Agents of chaos.
This reminds me of the witch hunt of previous centuries. Get the mob braying, give them false info to latch on to - they suddenly see the links.
Lets hang the witch !
It's not going to last for long.
During covid walked in on a school zoom for my dc. This particular subject covers all sorts of social/personal matters- racism, sexual identity and consent, mh, disabilities, processing info, internet safety etc. The one I heard was on racism, and they were going in deep, as deep as discussing colourism.
What I'm trying to say is, the new generation are well informed of these things, hence the support for H&M. They are hard to fool.
The RF has to get on with the programme. They come over insincere when they promote MH, but at the same time say never explain, never complain. It cannot last.
H&M talk about things and that's not a problem. Most people don't see it as a problem. The rf seems stubborn. To move forward, admit you made mistakes and apologise - but I guess it will take away the mystic of being anointed by god and therefore you are very special. But who are they kidding, no one believes that anymore. Re invent yourselves as the new agents of change and charity. That is what people want. Yes, the people you have are dull as dishwater, but you can pr that away. ffs, get it right and stop trying to demonise H&M in the process.
As my dc loosely quoted some influencer :
"We are here to make changes for the better. Either you are with us, or get the f out of our way."
