I'm a little confused. This is overwhelmingly a good thing, consider the harm these ideologies (or, realistically, ideology) do. I would have thought you would not share this, as it seems to contradict what you have said previously.

You obviously don't know the ideology that this system is seeking to keep out of schools. If you want an analogy. This is the school system saying "We don't want to live in a society like 1984 (or Stalin or Mao, if you like), so we're making sure that harmful ideologies cannot be used to indoctrinate our children."

Apparently a trained member of staff already working at the school. Sounds like a good idea. As long as the kids are safe from radical ideology. Doesn't sound like it's that at all. That's the whole point of keeping a certain dangerous ideology out of schools. The aim is to prevent this type of thinking.

That is not the current definition of woke. (Also it isn't the previous definition, not that that really matters.)

No. As has been explained already, they're simply requiring that books are approved before being used in the classroom/stocked in the library. It is being done by a trained member of staff in the school. The government isn't banning books. The only place that is happening is in your mind. To put it simply, there is being put in place a way to keep certain books that contain a certain harmful ideology, away from the children for their own protection. Which is quite sensible.

No, just one or two members of staff that have had some training will have to check a book before it is allowed in the classroom. In order to keep out harmful ideology. Clearly this is aimed at stopping the left-wing book-burning types. The "wokeists" are the ones who want to burn books.

They aren't banning books at all. They're saying that books used in schools have to be approved. They're simply trying to keep a certain type of harmful ideology out of schools. I suggest you actually look into what is happening now as well as thinking about what happened in the past. What is happening now is the nipping in the bud of exactly what you're concerned about that happened in the past.

A certain group of people realised that children are vulnerable and if they use "progressiveness" as a smoke screen, they can indoctrinate them.

The article you linked is about maths, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

It's about classroom libraries in the original post, the twitter post and the article linked. If you read the article, all they're doing is having a specially trained member of staff who already works at the school approve the books that can be used in the school. It isn't the government doing it. They haven't got the the teacher's personal books yet, so the school has asked teachers to remove any unauthorised books. it's all hot air and performance by the teachers. Probably because ego makes them think that no one should be able to tell them what books are and aren't allowed in "their" classroom. From the article:

That isn't what is happening. It's simply a tool for keeping the dangerous books out. Enjoy.

If their ideology is "keep kids safe", why is that so bad? Multiple people have explained multiple times what this is about. Why keep pretending like they're banning every book except for a very narrow few that conform to their ideology? It's obviously about protecting children from a certain type of harmful ideology.

So simply have a restricted list for teachers to take into the classroom and be done with it. Good idea.

You might think that, but I have a different opinion to you. To me, they simply repeated something already said in an almost "I know you are but what am I?" way. So I responded in kind.

That simply isn't practical. How would they know every book available? The first they would know is if a parent or concerned student raised the alarm and they then had a chance to look into it. This might never happen, and by the time it did it might be too late. Restricting the books that teachers are allowed to bring into the classroom to an approved list is a lot safer for the students.

I was simply responding in kind.

It sounds fairly similar. The essence of the restriction seems to be to keep harmful books out of the classroom.

Irritating is subjective. I suppose some people find the truth irritating, especially where it challenges their position. ????‍♂️

Doesn't sound like the agenda being disgust at all.

False.

You use to fill your students head with angry gender, trans and race ideology?

No. They tell kids that they apply to them and encourage them to follow the ideology. That's the whole reason for a restriction on what books teachers can bring into the classroom and show to kids.

Take it how you want. Saying that teachers aren't allowed to indoctrinate students with harmful ideologies is anti-1984.

It's classroom libraries, not school libraries, by your quote. So you've got that one wrong straight away. Also it isn't banning books, it's only allowing books that are approved. And they aren't being made to close their classroom libraries, they're obviously choosing to do that to try to claim that they have to due to the law. All they really have to do is only have books that are on the approved list. It's all political theatre and hot air.

Not in this context.
