(Cont.) The diversity appointments are formally institutionalised in the USA, eg Harvard restricting the number of candidates of Chinese heritage because too many of them are too well qualified, so their number must be arbitrarily culled before entry. This is not (yet) the case in Britain, formally, although if you look at the appointments in the BBC, for example, in terms of numbers, there appears to be informal diversity appointing going on. When it comes to blatant racism, this certainly exists at the BBC, and some Universities such as York and Bristol. I am talking about advertising jobs or courses, with the line clearly spelled out 'White people need not apply'.

The term 'Islamophobia' is empty of meaning. A phobia is an irrational - sometimes crippling - fear of a thing which does not rationally or normally present any danger to the person. Islam presents lethal danger to anyone who is judged by those who define themselves as 'one of the faithful' to be 'an infidel'. This means Jews, Christians, polytheists, atheists, agnostics, apostates, 'idolaters', 'blasphemers' and homosexuals. Have you heard about the current blasphemy laws in Pakistan? The difference between the Qu'ran and the Old Testament is that currently living Jews and Christians do not feel obliged to take literally every statement and injunction in, say, Leviticus, under pain of death. In fact, only a vanishingly small number of eccentrics would do so. The fact that Islam explicitly states that Church and State must not be separated - in other words, there can be no secularity or neutrality regarding religion on the part of the State - presents a danger to everyone. Laws which are deemed 'unIslamic' may be disregarded. I won't even go into the 'cultural practices' which, at the very least, needlessly cost the NHS hundreds of millions every year - the mutilation of the genitals of little girls and the insistence (to keep money within the family, no doubt) on cousin-cousin marriage generation after generation. Not all Muslims are like this, you may say. Of course not, which is why anti-Muslim bigotry is wrong. We do not fear individuals 'who are not like this'. However, how many people does it take to blow up people on the Tube in the rush hour? I suggest only one. I recommend the U-tuber The Apostate Prophet - who has read the Qu'ran many times in the original - that is very important.

In the story of the description of the Theory of Evolution, I think Charles Darwin's grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, should get a mention, along with La Mettrie and Lamarck, not to mention Alfred Wallace who is always unfairly neglected. The differences between their theories can be pointed out, and Gregor Mendel's theory of inheritance can be taught at the same time. In fact, it was because Darwin had not had time to cut the pages of Mendel's book, which he had sent to Darwin, far less read it, that Darwin got a bit stuck on the actual mechanism of natural selection and started to veer towards Lamarckianism at the end. Lamarck was a brilliant biologist and must not be dismissed. Modern epigenetics, describing how environmental influences may sometimes influence gene expression, bring him somewhat back into the fold.

Now, of course, in The Guides, Brown Owl and Tawny Owl could very well be 'Trans' women, ie men, taking the girl guides, aged 12 to 15, away to camp (tents, groundsheets, sleeping bags, fairly isolated location) with no other adults around, if the Gender Recognition Act is not repealed.
