Monday 14th February - To Zie, With Love THE TELEGRAPH: The UK’s leading education union hosted an online training event that encouraged schools to dismiss and ignore biological sex. The National Education Union (NEU) is the largest education union in the UK and represents almost half a million members.
Thanks so much for finding the clip of Elly Barnes (Educate and Celebrate) talking about circumventing parents. I knew it existed but couldn't find it. As I said before, she at least appeared to good work addressing homophobia as a music teacher in my local Secondary School in the early 2000's; won awards; was feted and then left to earn ££ as a 'Consultant'. Can't bear the smugness and sanctimony of her 'we know best' attitude, and its reflection in now touting total lies about gender identity and 'trans children.
Like Stonewall, she saw her income stream drying up following legislative charges and societal acceptance of homosexuality. She looked round and saw the trans bandwagon coming, and hitched a ride. Once that's finished, she'll be supporting paedophilia and/or going back to homophobia, because it will be rampant by then. Gotta keep the money coming in!
When I enlarged the photo of Dr Elly Barnes addressing the Commissioners Conference @Girlguiding, the audience do look distinctly unimpressed! I would even go as far as saying, that judging from the facial expressions of the audience, (together with their body language), almost everyone shown on the photograph is demonstrating a distinctly hostile response to whatever Dr Elly Barnes is telling them. In fact it would be hard to imagine a more 'uncaptured' audience, - several folded arms and many very cross-looking faces.
Ha! I would love to see that. It really is hard to imagine GG leaders being impressed by this bullshit. Much more so than teachers (because the young teachers are being groomed in this stuff at TT college and are possibly more of a mono-culture than GG leaders)
I imagine you cannot see on a phone, but even without a magnifier just look at the women in the front row! And the camera angle is so weird Barnes looks like she's on stilts.
Good, I hope they did have an angry reaction to what they were being told by Barnes. They are being undermined, and potentially the relationship they have with their students and the parents of their students is being undermined.
Those guilty of targeting the cardiff academics need investigation and consequences...I really hope they are not allowed to get away with it...they are arresting women for expressing safe guarding concerns and stickers but these kids are allowed to intimidate and threaten with pics of guns...makes me want to scream with frustration! Why is no-one with the power and authority to do so doing anything about this utter obvious ludicracy!!
Something has to be done about the indoctrination of very young children. No 6 year old is transphobic. Unfortunately for teachers, 6 year olds tend to tell it like it is and how they see the world. If a classmate is wearing a skirt and wanting to be a "she" fine, but do not be forcing their peers to see the Emperor's new clothes.
Why can’t they just let kids wear what they want to wear and leave it at that? Parents and schools transing children harms the child and those around them.
Our friend Peter is on ymthe board of Educate and Celebrate, which tells us so much about the organisation. Telling teachers to lie to parents is against the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Wonder how that is to be reported by the Government in the UN Periodic Review.
Oh my goodness... so he is! I didn't know that. That's deeply concerning. Any child-focussed organisation even entertaining his presence needs to be investigated.
Why would the teachers who attended the propaganda session organised by the NEU accept what they were being told on the basis that it was arranged by their union? Presumably, they are are mostly well informed adults. They would have to be willfully stupid not to question what they're being told. It certainly seems as though large numbers of people have been subjected to some kind of mind control. But we know that for all but the most fanatical, compliance is based on fear, fear of what will happen to them if they don't cooperate. Shouldn't everyone be looking at that reality and asking questions about it before we get on to what pronouns we are being told to use?
I assumed that teachers valued working collaboratively with parents. They're supposed to, what they aren't supposed to do is to encourage each other to deliberately withhold important information from them. Surely, any teacher worth the salary they're paid would challenge that, or at least want to discuss it. This entire situation lacks authenticity.
How has that wretched Elly Barnes got an MBE? She should be stripped of it forthwith.
By the way, does anyone know of any cases of the IPSO (is that right?) actually taking serious action against newspapers for breaching their 'observe chosen pronouns or else' rule? I'd love to see one of the big beasts, such as the Daily Mail, stick two fingers up at it. What would IPSO do - fine them the equivalent of their petty cash?
"But whenever we read a story such as this, it’s hard not to see a pattern emerging. So many of the men who seek to dismantle basic safeguarding protocols, such as sex-specific spaces and boundaries, seem to have ulterior motives for doing so."
Like Eric Joyce MP who was a very vocal supporter of mixed toilets/changing rooms in schools, and very aggressively verbally-attacked anyone who opposed it, calling them hateful, bigoted etc. and then Joyce got caught with child porn.
Now, if we had a functioning media they could have asked; what sort of adult male desperately, aggressively wants to put boys and girls into the same changing rooms...? However, Joyce didn't lose his 'blue tick' twitter account despite being convicted of downloading child porn, whereas numerous people have lost their twitter accounts for saying a boy who wants to go into a girl's changing room is still a boy.
"So many of the men who seek to dismantle basic safeguarding protocols, such as sex-specific spaces and boundaries, seem to have ulterior motives for doing so."
GL has been suspended from Twitter saying he wished the Queen would die. Separately, he also pulled out of the debate because 'his community' are in a state of giref at him debating with a fascist bla bla blardy bla https://twitter.com/dearsplenda/status/1495808326113927172?s=21
The elly barnes video starts somewhere in the middle...when she says about not telling parents before we embark in this work, what work does she mean? Teaching pshe generally? Just gender identity? Sex ed?
Good point. imagine it mean anything she thinks parents may object to, and that will probably vary from parent to parent; cohort to cohort. But in a way it doesn't matter: It has made me much more circumspect about the messages schools think it's their right to give to children, in general, if that's the kind of 'we are in the right' attitude they have.
"Don’t hold a parents’ meeting. You don’t want 30 parents shouting at you. Who wants that in their life?”
Horribly revealing.
Yes, what "work" is she advocating teachers carry out toward children in their charge that makes parents want to shout at teachers?
Or is it that she views parents primarily as hectoring irritants that try to get between her and their children, whom she sees it as her righteous mission to mould only as she and comrades see fit?
Yes, the old woman with a walker crying out "Peace, Love and Happiness" was a real tyrant and deserved to be run over by thugs on horseback. (I HATE people who use animals to do their dirty work.)
I know. It's like flat Earth theory not only being given serious consideration, but accepted and promoted. The idiots responsible for this are earning every shread of disgrace they deserve.
Well, I'll focus on the U.S. and you can consider whether there are any similarities in the U.K. We have a populace which does not read, a large percentage of whom are functionally illiterate. The majority of the ones who do read or listen to news believe everything they are told. We are spending trillions of dollars prosecuting wars when we have no serious enemies, but war is the favorite cash cow of the elite as it uses more resources than any other activity. We have an utterly corrupt government (I am NOT talking about the ordinary people who work at the IRS or Social Security, etc) full of people who will sign onto anything they are told to sign onto, especially if the order comes from the uber-wealthy. If you can convince people that the terrorists you are funding and arming today are their enemies in a week, you can convince them that men are women.
I think it does carry the seeds of it's destruction. Gender ideology is overreaching itself to the point that it has nowhere to go and nothing to hide behind. People are being asked to accept increasingly bizarre and unfair conditions set by a misogynistic agenda. So a man can lead a rape crisis organisation, and he can compound the wrongness of that by describing women who have been raped by men as bigots if they decline working with a male counsellor. I thought that was about as bad as this was going to get. But they can do more, particularly where organisations with power are involved, such as the police, local authorities, the education service, court system, etc.
What is it going to take to get people to learn the word 'no' and react collectively? So many people are being damaged along the way. Will the governing bodies in sport wait until a woman is severely injured or killed as a direct consequence of their inclusion policies? It's highly conceivable that this could have happen to women competing against biological men in the field of martial arts.

You're right there! Why has the tweet now been deleted I wonder?

That's very interesting. I didn't know that but it makes total sense.

Why aren't people challenging their unions?

I am conducting my own semi-humorous letter writing campaign to IPSO. Don't tell anyone
See my post above for background. She probably always was insufferable but she caught the Zeitgeist
"But whenever we read a story such as this, it’s hard not to see a pattern emerging. So many of the men who seek to dismantle basic safeguarding protocols, such as sex-specific spaces and boundaries, seem to have ulterior motives for doing so."

"So many of the men who seek to dismantle basic safeguarding protocols, such as sex-specific spaces and boundaries, seem to have ulterior motives for doing so."
BINGO.
A bit off topic but Grace Lavery has deleted his twitter account? What happened? I guess the debate with Helen Joyce is off?
GL has been suspended from Twitter saying he wished the Queen would die. Separately, he also pulled out of the debate because 'his community' are in a state of giref at him debating with a fascist bla bla blardy bla https://twitter.com/dearsplenda/status/1495808326113927172?s=21
I've just filled out this survey about policing in your area - UK wide.
https://consult.scotland.police.uk/surveys/your-police-2021-2022/
At the end it asks for your gender identity, are you trans, sexuality, ethnicity and age group.
None of the profiling asks for the sex of the respondent.
It seems that sex doesn't exist in the police force...
Unless they're watching porn, then they know perfectly well what a woman is.

The latter.
Oh my, just a creep all around. Thanks for the update.
The Barnes video link is broken. Can you fix it, please.
Looks like it's been removed from the site.
Yes, the old woman with a walker crying out "Peace, Love and Happiness" was a real tyrant and deserved to be run over by thugs on horseback. (I HATE people who use animals to do their dirty work.)
Reply to myself! Here is the woman I mentioned:
This is Candice "Candy" Sero, a Mohawk elder trampled on by TRUDEAU’s storm troopers on horseback.
Candy is from Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory in Hastings County, Ontario

She's soon on Gettr saying "hold the line people"

That is one of the mysteries of the modern universe
People with lots of money can make lots more from it.
I ask myself the same thing every day...
People love bullshit that makes them feel important or morally superior. People love a cult
It's mind-blowing. Who could have predicted that such a moronic, anti-science idea would have been taken seriously?
I know. It's like flat Earth theory not only being given serious consideration, but accepted and promoted. The idiots responsible for this are earning every shread of disgrace they deserve.
