> In recent years, plenty of children have been taught that sex is randomly assigned at birth rather than being a biological fact determined by a person’s chromosomes. Would Labour teach pupils to spot this ‘misinformation’? All the signs suggest no. The Tories’ ban on teaching gender ideology has been placed under review. This means that if Phillipson gets her way, teachers could spend the morning warning children of the dangers of fake news and the afternoon telling them that men can become women. We can all decry the lies and rumours that were spread in the wake of the Southport atrocity, but it’s hard not to escape the suspicion that the distinction Phillipson wants to draw between ‘misinformation’ and ‘truth’ is simply whether ideas conform to her and her pals’ worldview more broadly. Lessons in fake news will hasten the blurring between education and indoctrination.
