Furries.... Schools warned not to ridicule

Follow up and consequences doesn't mean prison.

No I wouldn't go as far as prison but there needs to be follow up & consequences. As a mother reading that script I am furious at how that teacher devalues those girls & how condescending she is in the process.

I am too but I just think we don't need to start bringing her personal problems or her family into it or saying that she deserves to be in prison. What's wrong with paddle boarding anyway?!

The NHS disagree, fabricated induced illness is a crime, that's what has been recorded by the girls, the Teacher is inducing illness and fabricating.

It's no wonder the serious case reviews and government inquiry comes up with the same results.

It's not up to us, that's what safeguarding lessons decided before it was their own sacred Caste involved.

@FedgeHund I didn't know that. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out so. I hope the girls parent's take it further & more parents encourage their dc to challenge teachers. I'm sure we'll be hearing plenty more cases like this before the year is out🤞

Basically the teacher expressed that if the girls didn't agree with her then they weren't wanted at the school ! . Wow 😲 how is that inclusive ? . It wasn't too long ago that a teacher with that type of opinion would have had her ass kicked out of the school gate !.

It's "wrongthink". 1984. Conform with the part line or we will make you.

*party

I want to know how exactly the teacher reached that conclusion. What gives her the authority on who to excludde from the school, was this the schools stance? Zero tolerance to any child who questions gender ideologies or was the teacher making the call off her own back?

But the point is not, ultimately, whether there are any actual children identifying as cats, moons, hatstands or anything else non-human in schools. The point is that the teacher recorded by the two girls in Rye was prepared to validate such a hypothetical identity; that she insisted there are three sexes and that she called the girls "despicable" for having a grasp on reality. Regardless of whether there are hordes of children cosplaying as furries, this teacher's reaction shows that batshit ideally can and has taken hold in schools. That's the point the Guardian article also misses (deliberately, I'd say, given their complete capitulation to identity politics).

Without the recording made by these girls, this would also be dismissed as hearsay and exaggeration. Of course the likes of the Sun and Mail are seizing the opportunity for some good old anti-woke scaremongering and moral outrage, but the fact remains that there are teachers in the school system today prepared to threaten children with exclusion - O, the irony! - for understanding biology and to validate utter batshit. Given the reach of Stonewall, Gendered Intelligence and the like when it comes to legally-illiterate D&I training over the last few years, she will not be the only one.

*batshit ideology, not ideally.

so I said how can you identify as a cat when you’re a girl?

This is simple and irrefutable. It’s quite something we’re at the stage where it’s problematic to say

It makes you wonder doesn't it ? . Is it the overall veiw if the school or is it rogue teaching . Either way those girls should be really proud of how they handled the discussion.

@Wiccan it's a bold statement from the teacher to make. Has she had guidence to say if children don't agree with gender ideology they will be excluded from the school? This statement needs investigating. If I was a parent at that school I would want to know if exclusion from the school the consequence my child faces for stating factually that there are two sex M & F. And for correcting a teacher who says there is 3 because she says intersex is a sex.

Agree👏

Also, to all the posters getting upset about the possibility of ridiculing children... let's again make clear that to be 'despicable' (as said by the teacher to the two girls) is to be 'worthy of contempt and hate'.

The point is that the teacher recorded by the two girls in Rye was prepared to validate such a hypothetical identity; that she insisted there are three sexes and that she called the girls "despicable" for having a grasp on reality. Regardless of whether there are hordes of children cosplaying as furries, this teacher's reaction shows that batshit ideally can and has taken hold in schools. That's the point the Guardian article also misses (deliberately, I'd say, given their complete capitulation to identity politics).

Yeah, this is a good point. I think that the teacher is extremely confused. She also seems to think that it's homophobic to not affirm trans folk. And I actually agree with you that it is a problem to have such uninformed educators wielding so much power.

But I still do think that it does matter whether there are lots of children who are identifying as animals. If there are, then of course we have a big cultural problem. If there are not but we're reporting that there are, then we run the risk of making this reality come true. Furries do not identify as animals. There are a few role playing furry children. When we report stuff like this, we put it into kids' heads that they perhaps should identify as animals. And we also end up stigmitising and marginalising furry kids, who are already very vulnerable kids.

@ModestMoon furrys might not but therians believe they are animals born in the wrong body. These are the ones with the cat ears, tails etc who make animal noises.

Reading the mother's comments I would be wondering why she was texting her mum, why her mum was texting her back saying she should walk out and why she was recording. It really sounds like they were trying to set up the teacher. Typical daily mail sad face story.

Remove your child out of any school that allows this.

100% this.

What was the question?

"There are ridiculous stories going around that schools are encouraging children to identify as animals. There's nothing like that going on in your school, I hope?"
or

"I would like to be reassured that your school respects children's identities. How are you supporting children who identify as animals or wish to come to school in an animal costume or dressed as a Furry?"

I realise that these are ludicrously bad questions if a LA wants to avoid priming schools for the desired response.

It would be potentially outing to disclose what you and your neighbouring LA actually said but could you give a general idea?

A more reliable picture of what is going on might be to ask Ed Psych's what they know.

Or ask parents to contact the LA if they have any concerns in this respect about the schools their children attend?

The Guardian? Are you serious? You might as well cite Pink News.

Bad Journalism on ‘Furries’ Has Let Down Children and Animals
Nov 8, 2021 - 4W
Journalists failed to connect "furrydom" to child abuse and animal torture and irresponsibly promoted the community as safe for children.

@Bosky thanks for that arrival link. Crikey, that is absolutely petrifying.
