TERF island strikes again. Bad fucking news.
'The University of Sussex has been fined £585,000 by the higher education regulator, the Office for Students (OfS), for failing to uphold freedom of speech
...
The OfS criticised the university's policy statement on Trans and Non-Binary equality, saying its requirement to "positively represent trans people" and an assertion that "transphobic propaganda [would] not be tolerated" could lead staff and students to "self-censor"'

You all know Labour are fully on board the trans hate train but just to hammer the point home:
'Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said free speech and academic freedom were "non-negotiables" in universities... If you go to university you must be prepared to have your views challenged, hear contrary opinions and be exposed to uncomfortable truths'
lol, ok govt. My kids are constantly exposed to new ideas, not having to scrape your life away just to make rent is one of them.
@aral @anandamide
Fuck out of here.
Heaven forbid we had to engage with the world out there.
@aral reposting 5-year old news about the actions of a government no longer in power is rather confusing. Why would you do that?
@aral @anandamide Labour are pulling some trumpian level shit lately
