Fellow Westerners, one question: Just how much intolerance (disguised as tolerance), authoritarianism, amorality-- and insanity --are you willing to put up with?
Recently, a 13-year-old girl was called “despicable” by her progressive, tolerant, inclusive, and nonjudgmental teacher at a Church of England school in the United Kingdom after asking a classmate how she could identify as a cat.
The schoolgirl-- and her friend-- were reprimanded by the Rye College teacher near the end of an eighth grade “life education” class, in which they were told: “Be who you want to be and how you identify is up to you,” according to The Telegraph.
Following the “lesson,” one of the students asked a classmate: “How can you identify as a cat when you’re a girl?” Good question. Inquiring minds want to know.
But not the teacher, who then informed the students they were being reported to school administrators and would no longer be welcome at the school if they continued to express radical beliefs such as that one can’t become another sex-- or species—simply by claiming to be one.
A video clip, taken by one of the students, shows the teacher remarking, “How dare you, you’ve just really upset someone” by “questioning their identity.”
To which the student replies: “If they want to identify as a cat or something then they are genuinely unwell – crazy.” The teacher then proceeds to ask the young girls where they got the preposterous notion that there are only two genders. The indoctrinator educator avers: “Gender is not linked to the parts that you were born with, gender is how you identify, which is what I said right from the very beginning of the lesson.” Right. Gender in no way correlates to the “parts that you were born with,” which are randomly distributed...

Ad guess what happens if you get lost and wind up in the pound.
More like adolescent stirring things up and seeing what she can get away with. When I was that age, I'd have loved to see a student try something like this. Nobody ever did, because they knew what would happen.
Most teachers used to be dedicated to giving their student the education they needed to compete in the world. Now it seems man are Satan devotees “grooming” their charges.
I don’t think that indulging psychotic delusions is considered sound therapy. What do you do when the delusional adolescent who identifies as a sparrow wants to jump out of a fifth floor window and fly? Must the fiction be indulged when the subject’s safety is jeopardized? Where is the line drawn? Or is it really all just pretense? Is it really just a silly game? I believe it is.
Cat is not a gender, so what offense do they report to the police when I say “No, Jane is not a cat.” This isn’t misgendering. It’s mis-species-ing.
In 1984, if they got you to say “2 + 2 = 5” they had your mind. Today, if they get you to say “Male = female = cat” they own your mind.
Good point. When the kid says “I’m a sparrow” and tries to fly out of a 5th floor window will the teacher say to the class “It’s OK, class. Johnny is really a bird. Anybody who denies it is despicable” and let Johnny fall to his death.
Does the teacher call the police “despicable” because they won’t accept the delusion that Johnny is a bird? Or does the teacher go back to accepting reality?
This is really just a Monty Python script.
Right?
The kid shoulda looked the teacher in the eye and said
“Well, I identify as a dog, and we dogs know cats when we see them, and lady, that girl ain’t no cat- and how dare you scold me for putting my canine knowledge to work!”
If all species are available for identification, can a person identify as a dung beetle or an orca, and behave as one?
I know how you feel.
Kipling won the Nobel Prize back in the day... but he would be jailed in the UK today for the very same poems.
Of course it’s a game, and the kids know it perfectly well. They’re just seeing how far they can push it. The kid pretending to be a sparrow isn’t going to jump out of a fifth-floor window any more than he’s going to peck undigested grain out of horse poop.
It’s a good thing the child isn’t black and harbors a certain notoriety on social media or the hypocrites here would be roundly critical of her challenge to the progressive order. /s
Of course it’s just nonsense, until lives are ruined because some won’t play along. That’s when it gets serious and ugly.
Obviously. It’s way past time for the grownups to put a stop to it.
A 13 yr old claims to be a cat?!?
Ok… put a litter box in the back corner of the classroom and make them use that.
No cafeteria food either, just L’il Friskies and live mice.
See how long they DECIDE to remain a ‘cat’…
People like this used to be put in a mental ward.
So if that other kid was really a cat did they make sure the kid was neutered?
