Sydney boys school is receiving backlash for requiring boys to be boys
Sky News host James Macpherson says denying biological reality is leading communities down a dangerous path. “News today that a Sydney boys' school not only requires boys to be boys but requires boys to remain as boys. “Male mammals don't choose to remain biologically male because I can't believe I have to explain these male mammals are biologically male, and biologically male means just that you're biologically male. “When you decide biology is a matter of preference and that truth is a matter of personal taste, you end up with entire communities that have gone quite mad. And that's where we are now.”
