"But I used to tell my students in the school library to write their feelings as honestly as they could and so be guided to their thoughts. I told them that was how excellent writing was attained, through truthfulness and integrity of mind. I told them not to be afraid." Thank you Kate Clanchy for your Orwellian insight and Boadicean courage to try to teach the adults, as you so well taught the children, to write their truth and to fight for the truth against those that, having no integrity themselves, resent it in others and go to great lengths to silence and gaslight the truth tellers, especially the female ones. And thank you LoobyLou for sharing Kate's resignation letter in support of her. I salute you both!
Yes. I have been stunned and appalled by it. The world, as ever, only more so, resents and misrepresents the women who reveal the complex social truths of our times, however carefully considered and compassionate their telling of these truths is, as Kate's telling absolutely was. It's a brilliant and beautiful book by a woman who understands and genuinely cares for her fellow humans more than most.

Thank you. The way Kate has been treated by the organisations who should have supported and championed her is just abhorrent.
