By their own standards our government is an extremist organisation

Posted on

The government issued new guidance on planning school relationship, sex and health curricula this week. Included in the advice is this instruction:

Schools should not under any circumstances use resources produced by organisations that take extreme political stances on matters. This is the case even if the material itself is not extreme, as the use of it could imply endorsement or support of the organisation. Examples of extreme political stances include, but are not limited to:

- a publicly stated desire to abolish or overthrow democracy, capitalism, or to end free and fair elections

- opposition to the right of freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of assembly or freedom of religion and conscience

- the use or endorsement of racist, including antisemitic, language or communications

- the encouragement or endorsement of illegal activity

- a failure to condemn illegal activities done in their name or in support of their cause, particularly violent actions against people or property.

Any reasonable reading of that would suggest that schools should not be teaching about anything that this government is doing and that they should not be using their materials because they are :

  • refusing to respect democracy in Scotland;
  • challenging parliamentary sovereignty;
  • Advising the Queen to break the law;
  • seeking to restrict the democratic mandate;
  • underMining capitalism by off3ring government contracts without tender and by choosing which businesses they think viable;
  • opposing free speech;
  • restarting freedom of association;
  • creating divisions in society based on race;
  • explicitly supporting law breaking
  • supporting democide by not putting in place a functioning track and trace system, and by failing to protect care homes, yet again.

Quite literally, by their own standards, our government is an extremist organisation.
