LAMBETH, London (LifeSiteNews) — A London primary school has selected gender-confused Ellen “Elliot” Page as a so-called “male” role model for their young students.
Streatham Wells School, a London primary and nursery school, is promoting Page, a gender-confused woman, to young boy students as a strong masculine role model, undermining the integrity of true manhood.
“Moving forward, we are going to continue to work on representation in our curriculum,” Sarah Wordlaw, the head teacher, told online newsletter Teachwire. “This is not just representation of the amazing, strong women who have shaped global history, but also representation of positive masculinity.”
In addition to promoting Page, who “transitioned” in 2020, the primary school is highlighting leftist pop singer Harry Styles as a male role model for young boys.
“We need to show that to be a man is not to be simply one thing,” Wordlaw explained. “To do so, we highlight well-known figures such as Harry Styles and Elliot Page. They show that masculinity can mean softness and strength, and everything in between.”
Wordlaw lamented the presence of “toxic masculinity,” adding that schools “need to encourage empathy, kindness, showing emotions, listening to alternative points of view and developing emotional literacy.”
While it is true that young boys should not learn that masculinity is brash, dominating, or destructive, telling boys that a woman is a strong role model undermines manhood itself.
Instead, strong male role models for young boys could include athletes who have attributed their victories to God. Christian athletes appeal to young boys’ desire for strength and conquest, while also encouraging them to look beyond themselves and place God and family above their own achievements.
Furthermore, some of the most common role models for young boys are medieval knights. Young boys are inspired by stories of slaying dragons and saving villages. At the same time, they are taught that the virtues of loyalty, courage, justice, and generosity are paramount to being a strong man.
Telling young boys that a gender-confused women is a strong masculine role model not only portrays men as weak but subtly tells boys that the best men are actually women.
In a world that constantly condemns men for embracing true masculinity, young boys need strong role models to guide them on a path of virtue and strength, not a woman dressing as a man.
