No to anything like section 28 obviously, it’s not about banning anything, just enshrining (legally) that teachers don’t have to maintain an “unquestioning acceptance” position. They should still be respectful of kids who seem to know what they want and what they’re talking about, it’s not a teachers place to do anything other than that, but there has to be something in place for things like the example I used above; kids who are switching pronouns (and often names alongside) repeatedly. Teachers first and foremost need to be able to find out if there’s something else going on for those kids, and secondary to that, they need to be able to call out kids who are doing it specifically because they know it’s “not allowed” to be questioned and are taking the piss.
