The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is ... people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction ... between true and false ... no longer exists.

So proud of my brother's letter that I had to share it: 🧵
Dear [SNP MP],
Firstly, thank you for your reply to me. I appreciate it. I have thought about what you said, but I don't agree that the Westminster Government's use of a section 35 order is in any way outrageous.
I have voted for you in the last two General Elections, and I voted SNP 1 & 2 in the last Holyrood election. I never have, and I never will, vote for the Tories, but in blocking the GRR bill they have my full support.

I'm trying to think how this article corresponds to our experiences of secondary school. Bear in mind, it's difficult for parents to have a really good idea of what school is like day-to-day, even when they have a good relationship with their kids and the staff. 🧵
Things my children have experienced, in no particular order:
* Being told by the biology teacher that there are 37 genders (when asked why, she said she didn't like to put people in boxes. Daughter said: aren't those just 37 boxes?)
Being 'corrected' on pronoun use by teachers.
