A Daily Mail audit has revealed that top universities, including Russell Group institutions, are “queering the curriculum” to make courses more inclusive for transgender and non-binary students. Here’s an excerpt:
In one example, Warwick University has a ‘Queering University Programme’ which promotes “queer pedagogies and perspectives”.
It encourages teaching which is “inclusive of trans people” and advises lecturers to “include trans and gender diverse content in teaching”.
Meanwhile, Exeter University has produced a booklet written by students for academics, advising them to “include trans people in the curriculum” as part of a “trans inclusion booklet”.
It said there should be “more coverage of academics and theorists who are transgender” as “this will show that transgender identities are normal”.
In 2023, UCL’s prestigious Barlett architecture school produced a research paper called ‘Queering the Bartlett curriculum’.
It said the case for a “queer curriculum” is “particularly relevant in the built environment fields”.
The paper criticises architects’ “reliance” on single-sex toilets, claiming they are associated with “violence” and suggests “queer methodologies” could be embedded in architecture teaching.
This year, Leeds University’s medical school published research advocating “queering the curriculum”, asking: “Why is your medical curriculum straight?”
It suggests medical students learn about “non-traditional pregnancy and birth” as well as “diverse family structures”.
SOAS, University of London, said in 2022 guidance to staff that they should “embed trans, non-binary and intersex awareness into their curriculum” and invite guest lecturers who are “trans, non-binary or intersex”.

Re’ the article, words fail me. I am though, getting mightily hosed off being told to log in four or more times a day. Please fix it.
Well there’s nowt queer as folk, and that definitely includes Keir Starmer. This is really rather peculiar. Unless he’s some sort of hypochondriac nobody would get this test unless they genuinely felt they might be at risk. As some have commented, is this something to do with Lord Ali? Should his wife be concerned? lol;
”’I’m the first Prime Minister to have done this.’
‘It’s really simple and really painless.’
Keir Starmer explains his decision to take an HIV test and why he’s calling for other world leaders to do the same.”

Blimey Mogs, makes you wonder what he’s been up to with Lord Alli in his spare time…
I know, right? So a ( presumably ) monogamous, married, ( presumably ) straight man declares he’s had an HIV test and even recommends everyone else does so, kind of like he’s wanting to normalize such an intervention….Hmmm, tad weird to say the least. I don’t think he thought this through, haha..
All the London cab drivers know what’s been going on, there are a few YouTube channels that have broached the subject.
Do you want to expand on that rather cryptic comment?
Blimey! Wasn’t expecting that. He could be a hypochondriac but then why make it public? He has been married since 2007, so assuming him and Mrs S have not played away from home since then, surely if he had “HIV” he would have noticed by now? What is he up to?
Anyway, we don’t really know if he really took the test, could just all be made up. But why?
I believe it’s some sort of ‘HIV testing week’ that presumably is a campaign with Big Pharma behind it, not sure. Call me a cynic but this might be all to do with some new drug on the market or increasing profits for Pharma. Otherwise it’s a bit random, definitely.
There’s also the fact ( I’ve read this from several sources now ) that migrants are coming over from France with diseases such as TB, Hepatitis and HIV. France won’t give them medication ( they’ve been denied asylum, after all ) so they’re straight to the NHS, jumping the queue because they need interpreters, so they’ll be able to get healthcare and whatever medical attention they need in the UK.
These two issues may be totally unrelated but if you follow the money I’m pretty sure Big Pharma and/or Bill Gates will be somewhere in the background. I expect, if we were to do a search, there may be a rise in HIV, TB and possibly Hepatitis in the UK over recent years. ”Correlation…yadda yadda…..”
Irgendwo gibt es bestimmt monogame Pärchen. Zum Beispiel im Märchen.
:->
Actually monogamous couples certainly exist somewhere. In fairy tales, for instance.
Unfortunately, the English version doesn’t rhyme and I have presently no idea how to change that.
Very good.
Hard to know how common they are.
I can only speak for myself!
I agree on both counts.
Re logging in, it’s got so bad that nearly every time I wish to comment or read an interesting article I have to log in. Someone at the DS needs to sort this out.
yes I agree, why is it doing that?
Lower Education.
You don’t need a Uni degree to be successful. These schools and related programs will go bankrupt.
You can get an apprenticeship, learn on the job, mix schooling and practical experience.
This is where the market will go. Plato and the boys striding around in spaghetti stained corduroy shirts professing their philosophies is a failure. Regurgitation is not critical thinking. Memorisation is not developing skills. Mental illness is not education.
They would be bankrupt already if it weren’t for the student “loans” program where the debt is forgiven with no penalties if you never earn enough to need to repay it:
“Full-time UK undergraduate students starting in the academic year 2022-23 are predicted to borrow an average of £42,100 over their time at university. This is typically over a 3-year period. Of these, more than a quarter (27%) are expected to repay their loan in full, rising to 61% for the 2023-24 cohort.”
With those kind of default rates, private providers would be charging much higher interest rates for loans that were actual loans, especially to people doing bullshit courses. I suspect many students would simply not be able to get a loan on a non-rigged market, and many would then think twice about shelling out their own cash to go to university.
Agreed – the “Student Loan” situation is a complete farce, and funds far too many pseudo-“intellectuals” and the garbage they promulgate.
It is high time some control was taken – if you want to study “Decolonisation of Albanian Folk Dance in the Queer Environment” or some such tripe, YOU pay, then enjoy your subsequent career as a “barista”. If you want to do medicine or engineering or another proper degree, then finncial assistance should be available.
If you left it to the market, the market would be more likely to lend at attractive rates to people on courses that were likely to earn them enough to be able to repay them. There’s an argument that for poor people who are bright, they may be in a disadvantaged position in getting a loan and you may want to look at some intervention there, not sure exactly what. But current system is nuts.
Mental illness is not education
Hahaha! True.
The paper criticises architects’ “reliance” on single-sex toilets, claiming they are associated with “violence” and suggests “queer methodologies” could be embedded in architecture teaching.
The decadence of our New Dark Age universities becomes clearer by the moment.
Once again, Rupert Lowe’s words of wisdom and common sense nail it. People can make-believe they’re whatever gender they like, just don’t expect the rest of the world to play along with your fantasy then cry about it when they inevitably don’t. Nobody needs any additional rights, attention or special treatment because nobody is being hard done by;
”If a grown man believes that he is a woman, and takes steps to live his life to reflect that? Good for him. None of my business, it has absolutely nothing to do with me.
However, when the rest of society is bullied into submission to accommodate that – we should draw the line.
We should not tolerate being forced to call them women. It’s just not true.
Certainly not allowing access to women’s sport, where a biological male has vast physical advantages. Trump’s position on this is the right one – it should be banned. It is entirely unfair and unjust.
Women-only spaces must remain solely for women.
The policing of our language on this, particularly in a medical context, has to stop. It’s dangerous, warped and does not represent actual reality.
Men cannot get pregnant, and women cannot have a penis. Sorry, but that’s just a fact.
And most of all? Stop forcing the idea that we can be born in the ‘wrong’ bodies on impressionable children. That poison needs to be kept AWAY from schools – ban it, and sack anyone in any position of authority who forces it on young boys and girls, potentially leading to permanent life-altering medical procedures.
Grown adults are free to live their lives however they choose, but do not expect the rest of the country to change how it operates to accommodate this.
We need to be respectful of individual choices, but we must not deny reality.”

This should read They’re replacing the curriculum with queer theory propaganda wherever possible because they have this large batch of still impressionable young people at their mercy and this opportunity must to be allowed to go to waste.
We really need some kind of secular Cleansing of the Temple moment here, it seems¹. These people will not stop abusing educational institutions to spread their venom until literally driven out with whips.
¹ It should be kept in mind that we’re all paying for this via tax money handed out to students in form of student loans these then essentially forward to the curriculum queerers. I don’t mind these people setting up stalls somewhere in order to preach to whoever might be willing to listen to them but I do object to having to pay for them wasting the lifes of so-called young people who really ought to learn something useful instead but just can’t help it themselves.
No taxation for public transsexualisation.
Oh for a Donald Trump in the UK, any course that has to be “Queered” should be ditched from the public sector, let them fund it themselves.
Won’t wash in chemistry courses. In the chemical underworld of life, adenine will go its sweet way pairing off with thymine, and guanine will fall for cytosine.
Nucleophiles will seek out electrophiles, in the everlasting game of opposite charges. At the atomic level, protons and electrons keep each other in check in perfect harmony. The mystery of the neutron goes on – arguably over-represented, but hey-ho, in some countries up to a half of adults are nowadays childless, so who knows what goes on the privacy of the atomic nucleus?
In the sub-atomic under-under world, quarks, mesons, muons and the rest dance around in threesomes in a way nobody fully understands, that must somehow matter up here in the real-life world of births, marriages, civil partnerships, living-togethers and deaths.
Carbon remains the atom of all known life forms, ably aided and abetted by hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulphur and any number of trace elements. Carbon dioxide, by weight 27% carbon and 73% oxygen, is the gas of life, from which all plant life derives and thrives by the miracle of chemical photosynthesis.
Testosterone banters and estrogen bemuses in the hormonal dance of romance. None of this recommended as a chat up line – never ever worked for me, but maybe some aspiring Romeo at some Russell Group university can nowadays report otherwise.
Why would anyone give a University grad a job? they don’t want to work, they are basically trained marxists, and to boot not academically or mentally fit for real life post the world of University. They pay in excess of 40k for this, and then are saddled with the Monopoly of the student loans scam that currently charges 9% interest on loans and which they can increase at any time. The Government does not intervene.
In summary, indoctrinated snowflakes, as useful to business as a chocolate teapot, saddled with loans from a loanshark organisation which will hang around their necks for most of their Adult lives.
Solution, if you must go to University go abroad, its cheaper and better. Alternatively work your way up in a chosen career through practical hands on experience
Agreed for arts, humanities and pseudo-sciences, but am inclined to think university degree still of value in STEM subjects – for teaching underlying theory that’s of value when used in tandem with practical hands on experience.
The enemy within. The T, the Q and especially the + are the gateway to pdf files and other horrors.
I was wondering if daily sceptic might consider avoiding the use of articles with words like transgender and non binary. Leave msm to publish their verbal jargon. (guardian, bbc, telegraph, daily mail, the times, the Ft, the economist). In other words,Legacy media. Thank you.
The university industry is long over due a big cull.
