A teacher claims she was left 'humiliated' after being ordered to apologise to 11-year-olds at a private girls' school – for calling them girls.
Bosses at the £20,000-a-year school told the woman to deliver the mea culpa after her class complained that she had said 'good afternoon, girls' at the start of a lesson, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
After being told by the pupils that 'not everyone here identifies as female', she arrived in class the following day to find they had pointedly written their names and pronouns on the board, including one who used they/them.
They also held a lunchtime protest after she refused to acknowledge their demands.
Last night, the philosophy and religious education teacher spoke of her belief that she was 'managed out' by senior staff at the prestigious institution, which is part of the independent Girls' Day School Trust, but only after she was forced to publicly apologise.
=====
'I was told that they made placards with slogans on such as 'Trans lives matter',' she said.
'Before the end of the week I was in some sort of disciplinary process and the head of year was telling me I had to apologise to the girls.'
The teacher then described how she was accompanied by the head of year, who addressed the pupils while she stood to one side.
She said: 'She spoke to the children on my behalf saying no one here would want to hurt you and you're all really loved by us.
'She then worded the apology in terms of, 'I am sorry you're upset and we didn't mean to offend. I'm sorry you felt bad.' But it was all pretty humiliating and embarrassing.'

Two years of typing class in a rundown urban school essentially was the equivalent of four years of college!
Sybil
G’mornin’ y’all works too ...
and she apologized... She should have told them to kiss her ass. and until people start telling them to kiss their ass, this shit is only going to get worse...
People are no longer raising children. They are trying to contain feral imbeciles.
Precisely! NOT! I am not responsible for your feelings. You are! If my words offend you are permitted to ignore me. You may not require my speech to be other than that which I intend. I have every right to offend whether intentional or not.
Dual what? Mufflers?
Smile pleasantly. Take a photo of the pronouns and say, "I'll make a list from the photo so I know everyone's pronouns."
Then erase it.
Then carry on, and do not refer to anyone by any pronoun at any time ever again. Everyone from that day forth would be either "Student" or referred to by their name. The smartest thing to do with brainwashed little ferals is to neither challenge them nor encourage them. Just carefully walk blandly through their minefield, focused on the task at hand.
And for God's sake, don't try to make them read Little Women.
mulvaney created a tictoc series named “365 days of GIRLhood.”
Will mulvaney get roasted over the coals and stripped of all his money?
The only thing that surprises me is how much we tolerate this insanity.
I would have said kiss 100% of my him-her, she-it @$$
“My shop/drawing teacher was smart enough to say, “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen”.”
Gee, my drill instructors in 1965 would address us all as “ladies”
Did not seem to be emotionally disruptive.
only if you lack courage!
Good Morning girls and to the mentally insane who think they are something else.
One of the engineers where I worked complained to my supervisor about “your lady inspector” (I was the only woman inspector (hence my Freeper handle). My boss answered: “All my inspectors are ladies!”
It was a girl’s school...right? Why should the teacher apologize? She would be apologizing on behalf of someone else’s stupid mistake.
In 1959 I was a Freshman in our small high school. I, along with 25 other boys noticed that the new home ec. teacher was hot, so we signed up for home ec. Thinking we would be in with girls and also get lots of food too.
There were so many boys signed up that they gave us our own all boys class. The teacher turned out to be a strict no nonsense type and in the first few weeks, we learned how to sew and iron clothes.
Lesson learned!
Great story. It was not like that for me because so few boys took that typing class. Miss Jacques was not ugly but she was middle aged and no beauty queen.
I'm not, however. I'm willing to take it head on.
