The tragedy of Scotland. The national question means the SNP and the blob can destroy almost anything - like education - and continue to get elected. https://t.co/bOahyCHi0n
This is a fantastic maiden speech from Amanda Lindsay.
She’s absolutely correct that the ridiculous “trans guidance” needs removing from the CfE asap.
Enough children have been indoctrinated in this nonsense.

Local authority education committees need to be reformed so that parents and teachers can challenge the rampant complacency about education and knowledge. https://t.co/IeRJJWTal3 #holyrood#holyrood2026
The SNP government has used the absence of curriculum content to politicise aspects of education. School values are no longer related to learning but are dictated by government. https://t.co/IeRJJWTal3 #holyrood#holyrood2026
Our history is rarely visited as a source of inspiration or ideas but cast instead as a realm of abuse and violence. This contempt for our predecessors is a deeply destructive cultural phenomenon. https://t.co/IeRJJWTal3 #holyrood#holyrood2026

Scotland needs to take a long hard look at its education system and the flawed ideologies that underpin the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE). Scottish education has sidelined the authority of the teacher in the classroom. https://t.co/IeRJJWTal3 #holyrood#holyrood2026
The CfE, introduced in 2010, has now been in place for an entire generation. We can say with certainty that it has been a failure. https://t.co/vLVpOMycNl #holyrood#holyrood2026
