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.”

I wonder if Mr. Dalrymple ever conversed with C.S. Lewis. The two seem to have a similar train of thought.

(i.e. This reminds me of “That Hideous Strength”...)

[[but their insanity and anti-Christian tyranny is validating the Bible and God’s word and prophecy]]

Precisely- I’ve been reading Ezekiel, and it talks about the end times when the nations attack Israel, but how they get defeated is not by strength from Israel, but rather is that God sends confusion and paranoia into the nations and they begin attackign one another- and they wipe each other out while Israel remains safe- The remaining heathen nations see the power of God and Finally stand in awe and admit that God is powerful after all-

Right now the left mock God and his people because God is ‘silent’ mostly (IE- he is not showing His omnipotent power in astonishing ways, so they think He either doesn’t exist, or that He is silent and doesn’t care about Israel)- but there is coming a day when the scoffers will be silenced and will know the power of God- Those attacking Israel will be swallowed by earthquakes while Israel remains untouched by the quakes-

The scoffers can read the bible and find out how it ends, but they remain blind for now- God will open their eyes someday though- God’s name WILL be exulted and revered one day soon.

“the Bible defines christian”

“Luke 9-23
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

I think I am looking for something a little clearer ...

That's a pretty ambiguous statement...

It could mean just about anything , with out a whole lot of context.

Even when read in context with the chapter, it's pretty difficult
.. as evidenced by the confusion of some of the apostles... and it doesn’t seem to address the question..

note verse 50
And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

so it would appear I am still looking

“The students disagreed, telling the teacher, “if you have a vagina you’re a girl and if you have a penis you’re a boy.””

SHOCKING!!! How did that EVER become controversial so fast?

And spit on their parents...
““I understand the point the teacher was attempting to make, what bothers me is the shutting down of debate in such a threatening and aggressive manner, which I don’t believe is appropriate in an educational setting,””

I would have been down there with pitchforks and torches. PLay their game, change my gender every two minutes, identify as Queen Victoria, and sue their asses off. Then of course, it is the UK. Just a rotting corpse of a nation conquered by trannies and Muslims.

Sounds like she ask if she was a cat? Not if she is a boy cat or a girl cat.
Now we’ll never know if she was a cat?

Yeah, and unfortunately....I'm having a real bad feeling.... that when that attack on Israel comes, America will be one of the nations doing the attacking.... the way things are going.
