Parents anger after children as young as THREE told to sign contract promis'g not to use transphobic

Children as young as three are being asked to sign a contract pledging not to use transphobic language at school.

The pledge is contained in a ‘home-school agreement’ which all children must sign before they start at Turnham Primary School in September. The infants must also promise to refrain from using homophobic and racist phrases and to be tolerant of people with different sexual orientations and lifestyles. Each child must print their name and provide a signature to confirm that they understand their ‘responsibilities’ while attending the school.

It is understood that teachers at the South-East London school introduced the document to help stamp out playground prejudice against transgender people and a wide range of disabilities and cultures. But yesterday the chairman of governors said that they knew nothing about the change to the contract, which was also dismissed as ‘bonkers’ by parents who said pre-school children could not be expected to understand such complex issues. The contract was sent to parents last week along with the letters offering a place at the school. It reads: ‘We believe that every child can and should reach their full potential. This is achieved when all staff, parents and children understand their responsibilities and work together towards the same goals, as detailed in our home-school agreement.’

In a list of responsibilities for pupils to sign is a clause which states pupils will be tolerant of ‘sexual orientation or lifestyle and refrain from using racist or homophobic or transphobic language in school’.

Interesting.

That car was originally going to be the Firebird too, before Government Motors got rid of Pontiac.

Just wait until the Taliban hear about this. There might actually be something to that “great devil” thing.

OR...

Is all of the sudden interest in transsexuals, who have existed throughout history, some sort of an organized distraction from something else? Seems to have pushed about fifty more important things that I can think of off of the top of my head (seriously) off of the front page, so to speak...

“One of the local motorheads had his 2015 Camaro fitted with a “Trans Am” kit, like this one “

Thus, continuing the fine tradition since 1967, that the Pontiac versions always looked better than the Chebies. Even when they weren’t being made anymore!

Or worse, who will be the first to drive a “Tranny Am”?

Transphobia - Didn’t Dr. Leonard McCoy on Star Trek have that?

Remember when “blowing a tranny” meant serious car trouble?

“Some of them must serve as barristers advising the younger ones on signing contracts, setting up trusts and making out their wills. Never too young to start.”

Those would be solicitors. But you’re right. It’s never to young to teach your kids to engage in soliciting.

Ditto here. And I'm glad I'm on the tail-end of my life so hopefully, I won't see this country go totally down the tubes before I die.

I'm thinking that Sharia Law doesn't sound so bad for these people now.

Seriously, it's no wonder Britain is seeing so many young people join ISIS.

This is how Islam wins in the end. Islam stands for something. They don't apologize for anything. They act like conquerors. People gravitate towards winners.

Western civilization apologizes for everything and grovels to 1/3rd of 1% of the population. We are acting like losers. Nobody likes losers.

When I was three, I had no knowledge of the printed word, did not know how my name was written and thought a pencil was something to scribble all over my parents magazines, etc. How does one expect a three-year-old to know what they are talking about or what they are doing?

This is bullshit.

Any contract that is not entered knowingly, willingly, and voluntarily is void.

And if it can be shown that one party failed to let the other know about this, it amounts to fraud. A payable tort.

Under the common law.

At what point do people say “enough”? This is totally ridiculous.

I heard Rush say the other day that now that “gay rights” have become more normalized that new ‘cause’ would be transgendered ‘rights’. I think the one transgendered right we should secure is the right for them to seek treatment for their disorder.

The gays in Britain will be so happy after the muslims take over Britain completely and impose shariah. ISIS will inspire the muslims with ideas about what to do with them (toss them off the hotel roof, hang 'em with cranes like Iran, and so on).

All cultures are equal. All cultures are equal. All cultures are equal. All cultures are equal. All cultures are equal. All cultures are equal. All cultures are equal.

Try this one on for size:

"All cultures are equal, but MY culture is more equal than yours."
.

"...and I can prove it, too, because I need safe spaces and trigger warnings to protect myself from your cis-male-hetero microagressions."
