Our schools are apparently bending over backwards to accommodate the self-identity preferences of school-kids, no matter how unusual.
It is reported that there has been some brouhaha over the desire of one young lady to self-identify as a cat. She was (reportedly) supported by her teacher who strongly disagreed with another class member who considered the cat identity ridiculous, and insisted that her unusual identity is perfectly valid and acceptable.
Now most people would probably think that this is all a lot of nonsense that should be firmly squashed, the girls and boys should be firmly told that they are human, and that's an end of it.
But although everybody is getting mighty steamed up about all this, I think the cat-girl is absolutely onto something and perfectly correct to insist on her preference.
Kids being kids, they should surely all select their own individual animal identity to adopt when in school (a spider say, or a toad, a frog, lizard, bumble-bee, pigeon, grass-hopper, dog, magpie, sloth, anything other than human) and then insist on adopting that identity and behaviour at all times when in school.
Think of the fun they would have!
One suspects that normal good sense might be restored pretty quickly ...
