Because you haven't been paying enough attention to the fact that our nation's culture is not only created in our schools but that it is our children who are leading the development of that culture in our schools adult authority is long gone. So here I am ringing the alarm. In 20 years many of us will be retired or sadly dead, and the children in our schools will be in important and influential positions in our institutions. As G.K Chesterton said the true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him but because he loves what is behind him. Well, I'm asking how much do you love your country, how much do you love the values that you claim to defend? Do you love them enough to tweet under your own name do you love them enough to change your child's school to one that's less woke and ignore the impact on your social status? Do you love them enough to do more than simply chat to your friends who already agree with you at dinner parties. For Heaven's sake man, stand up and be counted! As Russell Crowe says in the film Gladiator (a clip I regularly play for my staff): 'Hold the line! Stay with me!... what we do in life... echoes in eternity. Will your life echo hollow with cowardly hypocrisy or will it echo with courage, valiance and honour? The choice is yours strength and honour be with you all!' Now get yourselves to detention!" #IRLHistoricalFigureGilbertKeithChesterton #MetaphorWarfareBattleFight #IRLActorRussellCrowe + #2000_Gladiator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g1xoz6djsI&t=97s

But the people really go wild on one thing only: not Black Lives Matter, not woke history, but the madness of the trans stuff. It's something people can really feel angry about, but how widely is this sentiment shared? Last summer, an Opinium poll of Tory members found trans issues were 26th on their list of priorities. I've heard little so far on crime, nothing on the cost of living, nothing on health at NatCon. We're dealing in abstractions here." https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-are-the-nat-cons-so-serious/ #IdentityLGBTQIATrans

#MagazineUSMITPressReader #EDUSEMalmoUniversitetMartinLund "The essentialism of racial thinking took long to develop. Ancient Greeks, Romans, and others displayed varieties of xenophobia, but almost always with an 'escape hatch' in conversion or assimilation. Slow movements toward essentialism in prejudices about European Jewry and Black Africans took place over centuries. While anti-Judaism had been part and parcel of Christianity almost from its inception, it wasn't until the 12th and 13th centuries that some began to speak about an insurmountable difference between Jews and Gentiles. And although the association of the color black with evil has long roots, it didn't translate everywhere into anti-Black sentiment. Spanish anti-Judaism started to include ideas about the purity of blood (limpieza de sangre) in the 14th and 15th centuries, framed in terms of whether someone was Christian or not, rather than in terms of white and nonwhite, but it stands as a historical 'segue between the religious intolerance of the Middle Ages and the naturalistic racism of the modern era,' writes historian and author George M. Fredrickson, in its incipient biologization of difference. Similarly, while it was never universally accepted, the so-called curse of Ham gradually connected Black Africans with Noah's son Ham, who was cursed by his father to be a servant. The curse was the basis for centuries of debate about the legitimacy of enslaving Black people; some used it to motivate enslavement, and others to oppose it." https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/a-prehistory-of-scientific-racism/ #MetaphorSpatialHierarchyScalaNaturaeGreatChainOfBeing #OtheringHateXenophobia #PhenomnCulturalAdjustmentCulturalAssimilation #BeliefReligiousConversion ^[Wikipedia] #MetaphorPeriodizationClassicalAntiquity ^[Wikipedia] #OtheringHateAntisemitism #OtheringDiscriminationRacism #ToponymAfrica_ #BeliefTheismChristianity #MetaphorPeriodization12thCentury #MetaphorPeriodization13thCentury #MetaphorPurityRace #MetaphorPeriodizationMiddleAges #IRLAuthorGeorgeFredrickson #PhenomnBiologization #BeliefTheismChristianityBibleOTBookOfGenesis ^[Wikipedia] #MetaphorNoahsArk #PowerControlChattelSlavery #BehaviourNormalisation

#BrandNewsCorpUKTheTimesMelaniePhillips "The outspoken state school head and former social mobility tsar Katharine Birbalsingh has been making waves again, this time over independent schools. In an essay for an updated edition of a book called The State of Independence, she writes that in recent years these schools - particularly the most prestigious ones - have embraced the agenda of identity politics. Independent schools, she says, are essential in the great battle for traditionalism. Parents who send their children to such schools still believe this is precisely what they are buying. No longer. The significant change came about, Birbalsingh says, after the emergence of Black Lives Matter and the dominance of identity politics in the progressive circles where many, if not most, teachers make their ideological home. In another essay in this book Claire Fox, the one-time Marxist turned libertarian turned baroness, who is herself a former teacher, endorses this observation. Fox writes that 'woke ideology is increasingly what is being taught at the highest levels of private schooling'. This, she suggests, may explain why so many leading 'social justice warriors' in the universities were themselves privately educated. Eton, for example, has called for more gender intelligence and invited the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project to lecture pupils. Rugby School has introduced post-doctoral bursaries to explore 'the historical intersection between schools, class and colonialism'. An unidentified school founded in the 16th century and charging more than £35,000 per year, writes Fox, has trained its staff in 'unconscious bias', gives lessons in 'micro-aggressions and stereotyping' and has told department heads to ensure that 'black British history influences curricular development'. Birbalsingh says the grip that all this has exercised can't be explained without grasping the impact of 'child-centred' education. This maintains that the child is the principal driver of his or her education experience, with the teacher relegated to a back-seat role. As a result structured teaching, discipline and adult authority in school go down the drain. Birbalsingh says that this plays out far worse in independent schools because it combines with the guilt of the privileged. Not only are these pupils drawn overwhelmingly from the upper social strata, but many of the teachers were themselves privately educated. They make themselves feel better, she says, by embracing ideologies that tell them they are empowering their students to address the perceived injustices of the world. Such schools no longer inspire their pupils to repay their privileged upbringing through public service. Instead, they 'follow the children's leadership' by embracing causes fashionable among the young which will secure the teacher's position as a 'good person'. This helps explain why transgender is being pushed by so many posh girls' schools, regardless of the damage it is doing to individual girls and to women's rights. In America, the extent of this cultural self-flagellation in its most elite high schools has provoked some parents to take their children away. One such New York parent wrote that schools such as Brearley, from where he was removing his daughter, were supposed to be the training grounds for America's leaders. In a letter to all Brearley parents, he wrote: 'Our nation will not survive a generation of leadership even more poorly educated than we have now, nor will we survive a generation of students taught to hate its own country and despise its history.' In my 1996 book, All Must Have Prizes, drawing on my own perceptions of what was being taught in both state and independent schools and the evidence from teachers and educationists, I wrote about the catastrophic effects of child-centred education. The fact that I was denounced by virtually the entire education establishment proved my point that this had become an unchallengeable orthodoxy. At the same time, I received huge support from parents - and from dissident teachers who privately expressed their despair that the very understanding of education as the transmission of a culture was being destroyed, and along with it the life chances of the most vulnerable children. Birbalsingh, whose educational philosophy runs headlong against this, heads one of the most successful state schools in Britain in one of its most culturally diverse and challenging areas. Yet she is demonised as 'right-wing' - that adults brainless insult that tells you so spend much about the person reflexively hurling it at those with whom they disagree. These devastating observations about independent schools shouldn't be brushed aside as of marginal importance. Such schools may educate a small minority but they in effect set down markers for education that lead the culture. For years, they have been under increasingly vituperative attack for small doing so. Now it turns out they have abandoned that role and have chosen to be led by children instead. Birbalsingh stood down as head of the Social Mobility Commission because of the impossibility of telling home truths to a wider culture that seems to regard these as micro-aggressions. In her essay, which she wrote last summer while she was still at the commission, she likens independent schools to an iceberg that has melted so much that it topples in on itself. The uproar she provokes tells us much about the toppling icebergs of Britain and the West." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/private-schools-woke-takeover-is-a-worry-to-all-fmntz5qkh #MetaphorWarfareCultureLiberalEducation #EDUUKSchoolMichaelaCommunityKatharineBirbalsingh #CatchcryIdentityPolitics #CauseBlackLivesMatterBLM #OrgClassifPPUKReformUKPartyLtdFKATheBrexitPartyLtdClaireFox #PoliticsLibertarianism #TauntWokeAgendaIdeologyIdeologue #MetaphorWarfareSocialJusticeWarriorSJW #EDUUKEtonCollege #EDUUKRugbySchool #EDUUSTheBrearleySchool #1996_AllMustHavePrizes #TheoryDeclinism

Addendum it's hard to know what the point of this argument is.
