      A thread about sex, lies and paedophiles. Yesterday @PinkNews published an article on comments I made on a Facebook thread about teachers. I have to say whenever I hear Pink News is publishing something resembling a story I think of Cecilia Martinez.

      2./ Remember her? In her early 80s this amateur painter decided to restore a Spanish fresco. The results were hilarious and bore as much resemblance to the original as the average Pink News story does to the actual facts.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-19349921 …

      5./ Instead they attack, skew, obscure, exaggerrate and obfuscate. The reason is simple: they're scared of open public debate. They and people like @DawnButlerBrent @patrickharvie and @OwenJones84 know they cannot defend their positions except by silencing critics.

      6./ Only if they shout, bully, troll and malign can they retain their status as rather agitated Wizards of Woke. So do I really think gay teachers are all abusers as Pink News implied? Of course I bloody don't. Even the quotes they used ...

          7./ ...disprove their own headline and their claims. I was actually discussing LGBTQ+ groups being set up in schools and the potential risks. All I pointed out (among other comments) was that we do have to be careful because a tiny minority of adults do prey on kids.

          8./ I made clear the obvious fact that this tiny minority will be mainly straight because most teachers are straight. But it's silly to deny there will also be a tiny minority of gay teachers who come into contact with kids who are a risk. But no more and no less than straights.

          9./ As critics have rightly pointed out any group of kids doing any activity are at risk from those adults. True enough. BUT an LGBTQ+ group unlike any other group in schools is set up specifically around sexuality. Talking about equations or parsing verbs...

          10. ..isn't the same as talking about sexual attraction, and how comfortable a kid might feel in his or her body. And these groups are not set up by kids. Here's the first Stonewall guide to setting up LGBTQ+ groups in schools. https://www.stonewall.org.uk/sites/default/files/2_setting_up_lgbt_groups_for_young_people.pdf …

          11./ It makes clear groups are set up by adult teachers FOR kids; and for kids ....of all ages. The guide includes quotes from a Year 7 student praising their group (yes an 11 year old). I'm not saying 11 year olds don't ever know if they're LGBT. Some later say they did know.pic.twitter.com/TnRn6vSxyX

          12./ Most don't and are just pondering. The age range of many of the clubs is 11-17 yrs old. Any 11 year old is also at a distinct disadvantage to 15 & 16 yr olds in the group. Whose monitoring interactions? Stonewall recommends "anything discussed in the room stays in the room".pic.twitter.com/DZypramSfM

          13./ Err. Ok. All of this would just be vaguely concerning if we could be sure that Stonewall and the army of people it's trained to march through schools really cared about safeguarding. But here's Stonewall's Aimee Challoner talking about her work in schools (last para).pic.twitter.com/lnx4l67u3h

She was later suspended from the Lib Dems after her fiancee's child sex fantasies were exposed.https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/lib-dems-suspend-trans-campaigner-over-tweets-jcsg0tdtq …

          15./ And then there's the mental confusion caused by other Stonewall so-called mentors. Believe it or not Alex Drummond the bearded lesbian goes into schools where "she" elucidates the mysteries of being "gender-queer and gender-fluid". To 11 year olds?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj4V-Nme86U&feature=emb_logo …

          16./ So what's all this got to do with my comments that Pink News botched? It only shows that all LGBTQ+ school groups may not always be safe spaces. Stonewall should surely acknowledge there may be risks. Then everyone can work together to remove them.

          17./ Denying there might be risks isn't just naive. It undermines LGBT education. If and when something goes wrong the whole enterprise will be tarred. Safeguarding of kids requires vigilance and shouldn't be lost in the rush of enthusiasm for so-called 'inclusive teaching'.

At 1min 35 secs one of the teachers explains how there are over 100 genders and reveals the mysteries of "bi-gender". Yeah me neither.

          20./ Don't get me wrong. I'd have loved some more pro-gay commentary at my bigoted Ayrshire school. But Elly's breathless enthusiasm and the BBC's baffling baloney worries me. It hasn't been thought through and parental objections are being steamrollered.

          21./ Also I hate to be boring but what will straight kids and their tax paying parents make of all this expensive navel-gazing and weirdness? It's easy to forget but working class kids (straight and gay) actually NEED education and skills if they're to succeed.
