This is a fantastic maiden speech from Amanda Lindsay. She’s absolutely correct that the ridiculous “trans guidance” needs removing from the CfE asap. Enough children have been indoctrinated in this nonsense. 🚨
Amanda Lindsay, (Reform MSP Shadow Minister for Women & Equalities) delivered a truly well-measured and factual speech in the Scottish Parliament today. She rightly acknowledged the common ground on supporting high-quality childcare and giving every child the best possible start, while courageously addressing the profound concerns so many parents and professionals have about the ideological capture of our education and childcare systems. Social transition is not a neutral or kind act when applied to very young children who still believe in the Tooth Fairy. It’s deeply concerning that guidance promoting this was rolled out across Scotland. This wasn’t rhetoric; it was a calm, evidence-led call to put child safeguarding, biological reality, and women’s rights first. Refreshing to hear such straight-talking common sense in Holyrood. Well done Amanda.

Local authority education committees need to be reformed so that parents and teachers can challenge the rampant complacency about education and knowledge. bit.ly/sue2026holyrood #holyrood #holyrood2026

The SNP government has used the absence of curriculum content to politicise aspects of education. School values are no longer related to learning but are dictated by government. bit.ly/sue2026holyrood #holyrood #holyrood2026

Our history is rarely visited as a source of inspiration or ideas but cast instead as a realm of abuse and violence. This contempt for our predecessors is a deeply destructive cultural phenomenon. bit.ly/sue2026holyrood #holyrood #holyrood2026

Outlining what a student should know, and defining what is important, is an essential part of teaching missing from the new training regime. bit.ly/sue2026holyrood #holyrood #holyrood2026

In To a Louse, Robert Burns wrote that it would be a great gift if we could ‘see ourselves as others see us’. He wasn’t just promoting humility; he was expressing an enthusiasm for objectivity. bit.ly/sue2026holyrood #holyrood #holyrood2026

Scotland needs to take a long hard look at its education system and the flawed ideologies that underpin the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE). Scottish education has sidelined the authority of the teacher in the classroom. bit.ly/sue2026holyrood #holyrood #holyrood2026

The CfE, introduced in 2010, has now been in place for an entire generation. We can say with certainty that it has been a failure. bit.ly/sue2026holyrood #holyrood #holyrood2026

RT @tombennett71: Neurodiversity is a common term in education- and society. But it lacks precision both in definition and usage. And that…

The absence of a knowledge-based curriculum is the number one problem facing Scottish schools. But the second problem is what has replaced the transmission of knowledge in the classroom. All too often, it seems that a progressive approach to teaching aligns with the promotion of progressive political views. bit.ly/sue139jw @jowilliams293

The authoritarianism of ‘critical social justice’ is now orthodoxy in education and beyond. No debate. Just compliance. Our young people are being programmed into ‘goodthink’ — with the eager help of partisan educators and politicians. Jane Fenton bit.ly/sue137jf

1./ 🧵The BBC's Guilt. Defenders of the BBC keep insisting it never promoted trans ideology. Yet here's more snippets from the BBC's own schools materials. In this clip primary school kids are told they can be born with a gender identity different from their body. 👇
