This is great news! It’s so much better than having a separate “women’s history” class or “Black history” unit, too, (which is what I first thought) because they’re embedding it right into all the subjects, which I think will be really helpful in de-stigmatizing it, especially for the younger kids.
Go, Scotland!

It’s nice to know my Scottish family are doing things right. Unfortunately I live in England currently but looking to moving north of the border again.

No, they’re not. Not really.

Kudos go to the scots for acting like adults and trying to set a good example for the rest of the UK.

Not really. The TERs want to go back to the 1910s, and Jacob Rees Mogg wants to go back to at least the 1820s

Well, the Scots are always very friendly to everyone. As long as they’re not English of course, they fucking hate the English.
