Seriously? Sounds like an Orwellian nightmare. What worries me is this dangerous authoritarian absolutism (originating in the US) is poisoning educational discourse here in the UK too (again, thanks to the internet). The irony is it is having the precise opposite effect on children in schools. My 13 year old tells me that fellow classmates who previously were very open-minded on issues of sexuality, gender, etc, are now doubling-down into bigoted views on transgenderism and the like because they so resent being force-fed a particular worldview.
