Bel Mooney has always been on the Left, an ardent Labour supporter and feminist. Yet she is another that has finally woken up to the indoctrination going on in schools.
Our whole society's been dozing while a disturbing trans-rights dogma has infiltrated our schools - and now we ALL need to fight back.
Back in 1990, just three months after the tyrant Nicolae Ceausescu was deposed and killed in Romania, I was on assignment in that poor country, meeting people and finding out what it had been like to live under the iron heel of communism.
Yesterday, reading the shocking new report about schools excluding parents from information about their own children who want to change gender, I was reminded of what I learnt about chilling, authoritarian control over children’s minds.
An unlikely comparison? Not so.
Because when ideologues want to retain control, they know one way to achieve that aim is by brainwashing the young. In Romanian classes, children had to sing: ‘Comrade Nicolae Ceausescu is the father of all children, and the children love him because he is their parent.’
The chant was repeated day after day. Across the communist bloc, children were encouraged to snitch on family members for having the wrong books at home or making the wrong sort of joke.
It was drummed into them that the State was more important than the family. And their parents could do nothing about it.
Today, in the UK, hundreds of schools are actively colluding in an ideology which insists that a young child should be ‘supported’ in the unscientific idea that he or she was ‘born in the wrong body’ and can choose a new name — without the parents being told.
That one aspect, appalling as it is, is just the tip of the iceberg.
The incisive report by the think tank Policy Exchange, splashed on the front page of yesterday’s Mail, is called ‘Asleep At The Wheel’. With good reason.
It is indeed as if our whole society has been dozing while a bizarre dogma has been allowed to infiltrate our major institutions, charities and the educational sector.
The ideology holds that even very young children can ‘identify’ as the opposite sex and must be ‘affirmed’ by their teachers, with no question.
The detailed report is enough to make any concerned parent (or grandparent, in my case) contact local schools and demand to know exactly what is being taught under the banner of Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE). But good luck with that — because the prevalent culture of secrecy essentially tells parents to mind their own business.
You could turn up at a parents’ evening to find your son Peter is called Petra by his teacher. Or discover, through your daughter’s tears, how mortified and afraid she is because her school has (with no consultation) done away with single-sex changing rooms.
