" "The children ran into my office one playtime and said “Miss, Miss, something terrible has happened . . one of the supervisors has taken a skipping rope off a boy and said boys don't skip.' They were rightly absolutely horrified," she said. I held a professional conduct meeting with the supervisor, and I made clear that you must never say those things." The assistant has since left. Similar programmes in America have been criticised as "woke weaning". Chris McGovern, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said: "Teaching young children about sexism is woke-weaning and it is cruel. We are saying to children who do not use what is seen as politically correct language that they are at fault. It gives them a sense of guilt." “Something terrible has happened” BAHAHAHAH that’s how they are preparing kids for the big wide world. " As a tax payer I fully support your crusade against this ‘work rubbish’ , | |||

How upset are you about real issues like, climate change, nepotism amongst government contracts for PPE etc, government selling arms to states like Saudi Arabia who use them to bomb civilians etc. " And do you think the kids will be able to keep the “real issues”, as you put it, in perspective after this sort of education? | |||

Instead we are going to get green haired screeching loonies whose only interest is camping out in Parliament Square trying to outdo each other’s woke signalling. How do we know what you're not "woke signalling" with all these threads? Maybe this is all an act to make people think you're pro-sexist and pro-misogynistic behaviour in kids. But secretly you actually think bigotry is a negative. How would we know? Schools didn’t bother with this rubbish when we were a great world power in the 19th century. It’s not a coincidence.

We can be great again. We just need our education system unlocked. When we’re we last ‘great’? When the sun never set on us
