Sweden: Compulsory cross-dressing in kindergartens

In March, and then again earlier this month, I wrote about Elizabeth "Thick Lizzy" Atkinson, Reader in "Social and Educational Inquiry" at Sunderland University, and the great pedagogue behind the introduction into British primary schools of such books as King & King, Spacegirl Pukes, and And Tango Makes Three, which features the now infamous homosexual penguins. The reaction of commenters to Thick Lizzy's contributions to knowledge was lukewarm, to say the least. For those of us raised on such authors as Enid Blyton and Anthony Buckeridge, the notion of children being indoctrinated in this manner appears abhorrent.

So, indeed, it is. But, we should thank our lucky stars we are not living in Sweden. By contrast to what the unfortunate children of that unfortunate nation are subjected to, the brainwashing campaigns waged by the likes of Thick Lizzy are as nothing. Fjordman recently wrote on the subject at Gates of Vienna, and I take the liberty of quoting some extracts from the beginning of his essay:

In a kindergarten in Stockholm, the parents were encouraged by the preschool teachers - apparently ideological pioneers - to equip their sons with dresses and female first names. There are now weeks in some places when boys HAVE TO wear a dress. [Swedish journalist Kurt] Lundgren considers this sexual indoctrination as worse than the political: “The political nonsense is seeking to alter opinions - the sex freaks seek to alter the children’s personality, their mentality and their entire constitution.”

Fjordman also quotes from a comment left by one of the readers of Mr Lundgren's blog:

My 13-year-old son had ‘equality day’ [in school] and had to listen to a transvestite. I have myself never encountered or talked to one during my considerably longer life. Why is this important? Today’s children know nothing about the crimes of Communism, but everything about the sexual orientation of transvestites.

With the likes of Thick Lizzy wielding so much influence, how long before boys in British nurseries are pulling on dresses?
