A paper published by the think-tank Civitas reports that one in ten teenagers wants to change gender or has already done so. It found that two-fifths of pupils had been taught about “sex positivity” at school, while nearly a quarter reported having been taught about bondage, sadism and masochism.

The paper, written by writer and broadcaster Jo-Anne Nadler, argues that a “revolution” delivered “largely by stealth” is supported by a burgeoning industry of external providers and often self-declared “expert” consultants on issues such as race, equity, gender and sexuality. She argues that a specific world-view has come to permeate schooling through a deliberate process of embedding, advocated by activists and governments alike.

One reason why this frightening situation has developed is that so few are prepared to confront these ideologies. This results in large measure from either cowardice or moral confusion among political, cultural and business leaders. And the outcome of that abandonment of leadership is that when people do confront or dissent from it, they often pay a savage price.

People are being broken in mind and body by the bullying, threats and professional and social punishment meted out by those who are enforcing these ideologies. Key targets for this treatment are Christians, white people, heterosexuals and others who subscribe to socially conservative views.
