Total f***ing insanity: Pupil who questioned classmate ‘identifying as a cat’ called ‘despicable’ by teacher

A Church of England school teacher told a pupil she was “despicable” after she refused to accept that her classmate identifies as a cat.

The 13-year-old girl and her friend were reprimanded by their teacher at Rye College, in East Sussex, on Friday at the end of a Year 8 class on “life education” in which they were told they can “be who you want to be and how you identify is up to you”.

The row, which has infuriated parents, was allegedly sparked by one of them asking a fellow pupil: “How can you identify as a cat when you’re a girl?”

Their teacher told them they were being reported to a senior leader and were no longer welcome at the school, part of the Aquinas Trust, a Church of England network of 11 schools, if they continued to express the view that only boys and girls exist.


This has got to stop.

I'm curious in what way any aspect of 'woke' actually affects you and the way you live your life?

The fact that you're so concerned about all these stories actually makes me realise you are fully awake to the impact it's having on others, and not yourself.

By definition, that makes you woke.

Enjoy.

"Woke", when used as a pejorative, leads me to believe that the user either hasn`t the ability to articulate his/her/its (see what I did there) grievance properly, or is hiding behind a nebulous and unquantifiable cliche for fear of being challenged.

It is just the insult du jour, following on from "political correctness", "snowflake" etc...
