You know those moments when you start to realise you're turning into your dad and think the world

[Berni]

may actually have gone barking mad? This was one for me. :-

We definitely need a school for the intersex and queers too.

[Brentwood]

and said that parents should buy their boys dolls to play with, to encourage them to be more caring.

I was incandescent with rage by the end of the interview

[Berni]

[Classic Jorge]

I don't see the harm in in, I mean it's perfectly acceptable to form a school on the basis of any nutjob church or any other crazy ideology now.

Embrace the new world of Govean education. You really can tell he was bullied at school, can't you?

[Berni]

bullying, tbh. Anyone who believes that has not spent much time around gay men imo.

Oh, and it's an utterly ridicules idea. First of all, at what age will schools get to decide who's gay or not? Will we have parents trying to get their kids to gay up to get into the gay school if it gets better results? Should we have schools for all the other bullied kids such as gingers, speccos, weeds and swots? And what about white kids who are bullied in majority non-white schools? Will they get whites-only schools?

The thing is a nonsense.

[Classic Jorge]

Though I do like the idea of parents asking their kids to camp it up a bit in the entrance interview for the gay school.

[Brentwood]

It'll be like the fal of the Roman Empire

[Classic Jorge]

Sir, sir, sir! Smythe didn't look at me funny in the changing rooms!

[Berni]

[Brentwood]

[Berni]

'Didact of no specific sexuality or gender' would be the preferred nomenclature. Or 'Donssog' for short.

[Brentwood]

but when he finds out the tranny is really a boy, that conflicts with his rule and he sues the school?

This is a legal nightmare

[Classic Jorge]

He's now called Alice and refuses to be labelled Mr or Ms/Mrs and titled himself as Mx.

I only mention this because I know how angry it will make you

It also makes me wonder how much time he must waste filling out forms incorrectly.

[Ashberto]

It's funny that the right have been demanding freedom to set up schools to liberate them from percieved left-wing stuff they don't like but when the Tories oblige and set them up - heaven-forbid anyone set up a school along lines they don't agree with.

[Classic Jorge]

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

I despise the concept of faith schools and would have them all banned tomorrow if it were up to me. The same would go for schools based on race, sexuality or any other non-academic factor. I hold no brief for any of them.

[Classic Jorge]

or at least make them accept >50pc state school kids

[Berni]

delusional conditions that don't really exist, isn't it?

[Berni]

successful for its clients should be banned.

On the other hand, if you were to argue that they should be deprived of their charitable status, I would find it rather difficult to disagree with you.

[Classic Jorge]

the sheer scale of gendered language would have him in a foetal position before he left the airport

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

I know I'm shooting your fox by agreeing with you on these things, but sorry. I'm not quite as rabid a right-winger as you imagine, sometimes. :hehe:

[Classic Jorge]

comforting to know nonetheless
