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.”

Who you gonna believe, me or your “lion” eyes?

Even with casual observation, a human being and any member of the cat family are distinctly different. Does the one identifying as a “cat” have retractable claws, or vertical pupils in the eyes, or the capability to purr?

“This idiocy will continue until it all collapses on itself, or there are real consequences that scare people.Why else would it stop?”

Definitely not because us normals, who make up the vast majority, suddenly wake up and put an end to these insanities.

We’ve proven to be utter cowards in this culture war.

HaHa! Wonderful!
My niece in Evanston, IL, had high school classmates several years ago who identified as cats to get out of mandatory swimming classes in PE.

After all, schools now-a-days strive for diversity.

How much more diverse can a classroom be to have a mixture of girls, boys, trans, cats born girls, cats born cats identifying as a girl, and a little lamb identifying as a boy.

In my grandnieces school there is a student who identifies as a cat. They do a great disservice to the child.

“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.”

But that’s not all they lose. As a form of brainwashing (forcing someone to believe something that is not true)... they lose their own identity, which is part of the goal of the brainwashing.

The Marxist left is torturing us with this brainwashing... and trying to eliminate our own identify by forcing us to accept any form of delusion as reality. Ironic, isn’t it. What they claim to be protecting is actually what they’re trying to destroy.

catholicism, Lutherans, et al, are religions but they are not Christian. . .

You may not like 'em all, but how does that work again? A religion which teaches that Jesus Christ is the Second Person of the Holy Trinity is . . . not Christian?

What is it then? A puppy dog?

It just occurred to me that Mary’s little lamb had fleece as white as snow.

That may not be the right kind of “diversity”.

I imagine Lou is a protestant of one type or another, which at its essence means he belongs to a religion of one.

The whole idea of protestantism (per Luther) is that you get to interpret the Bible as you wish - no need for an intermediary or an organized “church”.

Lutherans often joke about being able to match the population of a small Midwestern town with the number of Lutheran churches.

Religious school. Guessing the school skipped over that part in the Bible about God telling Noah to build and ark and gather the animals, female and male, to procreate. The wise girls’ parents need to find another school immediately.

You can say the same about Baptists.
