Kate Deeming developed dance projects for kids globally in educational and community settings for 30 years before being cancelled by the dance sector for questioning the narrow social justice mantras that were being embedded across culture. A long time advocate for children and childhood join Kate as she tries to make sen ...

Joanna Williams recently penned the report 'Teachers or Parents: Who is Responsible for Raising the Next Generation?"

As teachers are told they must in…

RSHP is Scottish Education's Comprehensive Sexual Education program. The material was developed by Colin Morrison whose PhD was on the 'sexual rights' OF disabled children. This 'rights' agenda is embedded across the whole program w/no anchor to child development. It flies in the face of child safeguarding from the extreme content to the psychologi…

Are basing laws on a lie a good way to legislate? There are worrying moves as…

The UNCRC (United Nations Rights of the Child) was adopted into Scottish Law in July. Sounds great right? Wrong. There are many red flags regarding child development, child safety and the undermining of the family.
