I am 100% with Katherine. My schooling was in a strict environment, the teachers were in charge, bad behaviour was not tolerated in class, and homework was substantial. As a result we worked hard and got a great education, many of us going on to university and progressing to well paid and interesting careers.

I think the parents who permit the kids to identity as animals etc need putting in a straight jacket .

Jess Phillips is what’s wrong about the uk,you only have to look at her and it can make you feel anger, labour are the worse thing that could happen, vote for them at your own peril.

Jesse isn't a big enough a person to back down and apologise even though she is in the wrong. It ain't going to happen which is a great shame for the Labour Party's image. A big vote loser.

When it's time for lunch put a bowl of cat food and milk out for them then kick them out of the house when you go to bed and let them back in when you wake up, they will soon have a change of mind

Sounds reasonable 👏

Also cats don't need pocket money or an expensive phone. And you'll feel less guilty putting a cat up for adoption.

The biggest problem is actually the silent society that has allowed this utter (evil) insanity to take root .

[@kbeetles]

Yes!Yes! Yes! We get the social "norms" we deserve! More! More To the end! - My only concern is for the children who are being manipulated left, right and centre!! They deserve to grow up to be humans with integrity, with ability for real relationships and joy in life!

[@AGoodEgg_]

Fascinating that Jess Phillips is happy to interview Benjamin Zephaniah on her podcast (who admitted to repeatedly hitting former girlfriends and coercing them) - and tries to throw muck at Katherine. Total total despicable hypocrisy and selective outrage.

[@mjones4083]

Exactly - but I have long come to believe that some people simply do not have the mental capacity to understand the (should be ) simple concepts of irony , hypocrisy and self-awareness . Jess Phillips is a perfect example -as are many, many , many on the left .

I love her

[@b-radsadventures6846]

Jail groomers. Hire teachers. Make parents responsible. Kids used to hate doing things wrong because they knew that schools would send them home for parents to deal with...after having to leave work early for them. It taught kids to be proper. Now the insane run the asylum.

The guidance is that as teachers you should be teaching children to be normal!

[@cg9616]

Don’t agree with ‘normal’ as it harks back to days when every single child had to be exactly the same. It was very hard for entrepreneurial, clever thinkers or strugglers who see beyond simple answers. My husband suffered hugely at school but ended up running his own business at a young age and is a qualified accountant but didn’t fit class norms.

It's safeguarding concern when parents agree with their children being animals. It does absolutely no good for the child. Nothing. Unless someone can give me a good outcome I am open minded.

[@colinbirks5403]

Identify as a cat or a horse? Tell the parents to take them home, as we don't educate animals in this school.

I think the words "woman" and "gender" have gone the way of gay and queer. We need to only refer to female sex and male sex when defending free speech, female sport, and female safe places.

[@slingertennischronicles]

In the interest of keeping my bank account open and functioning, I'll have to say I see no problem whatsoever with children self-identifying as assorted furry mammals in school, nor do I have a problem with teachers calling some pupils despicable for not going along with this. Jess Phillips is also, of course, absolutely 100% correct in everything she says. I can assure everybody (including the lovely people at my local bank) that I unconditionally share the views of Jess Phillips about every conceivable issue! If you know me, please give this post a shout on your social media. Maybe somebody from the bank will see it... Thanks!

[@slingertennischronicles]

Quote Birbalsingh "I don't blame schools. Because, in fact, in some places the parents are coming in and telling the schools this is how you must treat my child" Birbalsingh could not be more wrong about this. To some extent, trans ideology has infected nearly all primary and secondary schools in the UK. There are tens of thousands of them. Does Birbalsingh really expect us to believe that in tens of thousands of UK schools parents are making such demands? Surely this claim is unsupported nonsense? However, I can see many headteachers making excuses for themselves by trying to lay the blame at the feet of fictitious parents.

[@normanlazarus1836]

Would these “fictitious parents” be the same ones encouraging or, at the least, tolerating irreversible pre puberty gender reassignment intervention on their children?

[@slingertennischronicles]

@@normanlazarus1836 Yes, Exactly. Its easy for headteachers to create imaginary demanding parents to take the blame, and very difficult to believe this has gone on in the majority of the UK's thirty-two thousand schools. Birbalsingh has involved herself in a critically important political issue here. She could at least do some basic fact-checking before making claims which are not backed up by statistical evidence.

[@slingertennischronicles]

@@DM-ur8vc I don't think you're entirely right. These issues are not being led by children, although they are fueled by social media. The entire debacle is being led by teachers and educational professionals, who are themselves being led, manipulated and exploited by a toxic political organization.

[@normanlazarus1836]

@@slingertennischronicles I have just listened to the video again & the only time the word “majority” was used was by Piers Morgan in the phrase “silent majority” towards the end of the interview. Katherine Birbalsingh did not attempt to quantify or exaggerate the number of schools where the phenomenon of ‘furries’ is occurring or state that this was a problem in every classroom. She did say that this was a societal problem & that historically (my word) parents & teachers would push-back against children’s outlandish ideas (such as identifying as a moon, not specifically stated in the interview but I have attempted to use this example for clarification). In your original comment you quoted Katherine Birbalsingh as saying “in some schools” yet you have extrapolated this to mean “tens of thousands of UK schools”. If you had a valid point to make your exaggerations would not be necessary.

[@slingertennischronicles]

@@normanlazarus1836 "I don't blame schools. Because, in fact, in some places the parents are coming in and telling the schools this is how you must treat my child" This is what she said. When commenting on the recent Rye College debacle Birbalsingh said she actually "felt sorry" for the teacher involved. Yes - the teacher who told two perfectly polite thirteen year old children they were despicable for expressing an opinion, and then told them they needed to find another school. Birbalsingh felt sorry for her. This should tell you all you need to know...
