Student called ‘despicable’ by teacher after challenging peer who identifies as a cat
NY post ^ | 6/19/23

A 13-year-old girl was called “despicable” by her teacher at a Church of England school in the United Kingdom on Friday after asking a classmate how she identifies as a cat.

The schoolgirl and her friend were reprimanded by their teacher at Rye College in East Sussex at the end of an eighth-grade “life education” class, where they were told that they could “be who you want to be and how you identify is up to you,” The Telegraph reported.

Following the lesson one of the students asked a classmate: “How can you identify as a cat when you’re a girl?”

The teacher told the students they were being reported to school administrators and would no longer be welcome at the school if they continued to express the view that only boys and girls exist, according to a recording of the exchange.

In the clip, taken by one of the students, the teacher starts off by saying, “How dare you, you’ve just really upset someone” by “questioning their identity,” according to The Telegraph.

The student replies: “If they want to identify as a cat or something then they are genuinely unwell – crazy.”

Just when you think we've reached maximum insanity, something like this appears to prove you wrong.

And this at a "religious" school!!

Waiting for the honest headline:


"Student called ‘despicable’ by teacher after challenging peer who identifies as a MEMTAL ILLNESS."

Probably the wait will be rather long.

That kid would be better off going to a madrasa. There are plenty of those popping up all over England today.

We are apparently at a point, at which we aren’t allowed to say anything or have questions about any of this. We are compelled to swallow it hook line and sinker.

It’s unbelievable where we are with all this nonsense.

If we are to have true equity, then a grade school must admit to class a cat that identifies as a 13-year-old girl.

Satan is truly blinding people to truth and common sense. It is shocking how thoroughly this kind of insanity is taking over, but the bible tells us these things must happen in the end times as evil begins to take over more and more. It’s just maddening though to sit back and watch the Insanity when the truth is so obvious, but the other side refuses to accept the truth.

All types of "religions" out there. Church of England, like catholicism, Lutherans, et al, are religions but they are not Christian. That's the world's problem, viz. it needs Christ. Then and only then will we stop the madness.

Actually, for true equity, since this grade school thinks it appropriate to admit to class and teach a cat, then they must admit and teach 13-year old birth-assigned cats as well.

“where does this end?”

There were two incidences at two schools near here that was basically the same thing. It was carried out to the extreme by the students, but I refuse to pollute anyone’s mind by relating what happened.

“How can you identify as a cat when you’re a girl?”

Excellent question.

Are we going to acknowledge reality or delusion?

[[we aren’t allowed to say anything or have questions about any of this. ]]

It’s all an “in your face forced acceptance” that they are after- consider the words of the Theodore below

-——Theodore Dalrymple———

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that
the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not
to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to
reality the better.

When people are forced to remain silent when they
are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced
to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense
of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become
evil oneself.

One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even
destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think
if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is
intended to.”

Written by Theodore Dalrymple

If a student in that school identified as a Tory or even a UKIP member I bet he would be sent for treatment and reeducation.

So ... if “Mary” of nursery-rhyme fame were to bring her little lamb to school on account of said lamb identifying as a boy ... would that no longer be against the rules?
