Another false binary from the Laird of Logical Fallacies. So, it's either kids sit quietly for 7 hours a day, or... anarchy.

"Requires Attention." Schools with high FSM are far more likely to sit under that label in the new Ofsted framework, especially the Achievement section. Daft thing is, it already has our attention. It always will. Poverty requires attention. Hunger requires attention. Trauma requires attention. A judgement that ignores all of that - and then penalises the people giving their lives to the cause? That requires attention too.

ICARS (Int. Coal. Against Restraint and Seclusion)
UK April 2019 A girl who tried to kill herself after spending months in an isolation booth at school has said she felt "alone, trapped and no-one seemed to care". The teenager, who has autism, had no direct teaching and ate her lunch in the room, away from friends. bbc.co.uk/news/education…

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

@Elsebeth_Is Define "SEND-identified autism", in the context of waiting lists for initial diagnosis appointments being years long, and a rise in people (especially women) being diagnosed in their adulthood having not being diagnosed in childhood.

On the interim report into mental health, autism & ADHD. The media seems to have ignored everything in yellow and focused on the bit in green. Hmmm.

@Hardymatt0 @antlerboy Okay, so: The screenshots show accounts calling for British children to be variously beaten, killed, imprisoned & deported, and racially abusing them, because some are not white. I said: is this acceptable? You said: of course it is. So, yes, you're racist, kid.

Of course it is. If it's wrong, misguided, or inaccurate, make the case why it is. That's all any reasonable person should care about. Who the hell are you to say that certain arguments aren't allowed to be made? Just take a step back and look at what it is you're attempting to do.

The danger of dog-whistling. This video came from a far-r1ght account, framed in a clearly raci$t way. It was boosted by various other far-r1ght accounts, in the same way. Govt behaviour tsar Tom Bennett also boosted it. So, what kind of response did TB get on his post..? 🧵

Today's World Autism Awareness Day. You'd hope that for once, Teachers Talk Radio might have something positive to say about SEND & autism. Maybe some kind words for families of autistic kids? Words of admiration for SEND teachers & SENDCOs? Nope. Look what they did instead.

Your comment here is exactly what I'm talking about. I doubt you've even reflected on the arguments, and you certainly couldn't steel man them. In other words, you don't even know what it is you're rejecting. You have a sense that they're saying things you deem as unacceptable (note: not false, just unacceptable), and you plug your fingers in your ears and shout "racist".

@LibConservatist @suzyg001 One last time. My position in your so-called 'tug-of-war' is the opposite of what you believe it is. Separately, I've described certain views as racist: views which it turns out you share. End.

@AdamHighcliffe Ah there we go, subtlety calling me racist. You can’t see that the bigotry of low expectations makes you far more racist for not holding certain ethnicities to account for criminal activity like others. You’d rather mobs ransacking shops.

@LibConservatist Ah, now I see. You're uncomfortable because you don't see yourself as racist, but these comments have threatened that self-image. OK, we're done here.

@AdamHighcliffe No, you love throwing the racist accusation out everywhere. It’s not racist to not want to put up with a criminal culture that to anyone’s eyes has an ethnic pattern. It’s not racist to deem foreign criminals should be deported for society’s safety. Few are actually racist.
