Top London school adds Panti Bliss memoir to curriculum

Panti Bliss's memoir is now being used to teach upper-class children about homosexuality. The 2014 book by Ireland's most renowned drag queen, titled Woman In The Making – Panti's Memoir, has been added to curriculum of the €35,000-a-year Alleyn's school in Dulwich, south London. The school is the alma mater of several famous people including Irish polar explorer Ernest Shackleton, movie star Jude Law, author PG Wodehouse and interior designer Laurence LlewellynBowen. The book has been chosen to educate young teens about diversity and 'queer theory'. Staff at the school told parents and pupils a selection of authors were being introduced as part of a 'genuine diversification' of the curriculum taught to Year Nine students, typically aged 13 to 14. Panti Bliss. Pic: Mark Stedman/Photocall Ireland Panti, AKA Rory O'Neill, 56, said of the recent development: 'I'm delighted that my book is being read by young people. 'I would hope that anybody who reads the book would learn about queer people and the difficulties about the time [of which] I was writing. Yes, if people read it and get something out of it – great.' The book contains several references to gay sex and how Panti's sexuality started to awaken as an 11-year-old in Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo, in 1979 – the year Pope John Paul II visited Ireland. 'These two things were not unrelated. Looking back now, it seems almost inevitable that my gayness and my Catholicism were about to engage in their first bloody skirmish,' the book begins. The school says it aims to challenge 'white-centric, patriarchal and cisgender ideologies by adopting non-binary writers as part of a drive to diversify its teachings and explore queer theory'. Cisgender refers to individuals whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth. Panti Bliss celebrates the Yes result in the marriage referendum in May 2015. Pic: Rolling News The curriculum includes discussing topics such as 'toxic masculinity' in William Shakespeare's Macbeth and The Tempest 'through the lens of colonialism'. Panti's autobiography, the school believes, will offer an insight into the challenges that he faced as a gay man growing up in conservative rural Ireland in the 1970s and '80s. However, not everyone in the British education establishment is happy about the inclusion of O'Neill's memoir in a reading list. Katharine Birbalsingh, known as Britain's strictest headteacher, recently questioned why themes such as racism and sexism were being prioritised in classroom discussions on the works of Shakespeare. Panti's memoir was critically acclaimed on its release 11 years ago, just before the passing of the marriage equality referendum in 2015, making Ireland the first country to endorse the legal change by public vote. Panti made a big media impact after a speech at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin in February 2014, about the oppression and difficulty of growing up gay in Ireland. It has been viewed over one million times on YouTube. Panti later said: 'Young people tell me that they watch my Abbey speech in social studies class but it's not on the curriculum here, but anything that helps young people to understand is all good.'

Thousands to descend on Glastonbury Festival as Worthy Farm opens its gates

Campers arriving at Worthy Farm in Pilton can expect a mixed bag of sunshine and rain throughout the week with 'with sunny spells and scattered showers expected throughout the day' on Wednesday, according to forecasters. This year's event will see headline performances from British rock/pop band The 1975, veteran singer Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop star Olivia Rodrigo. One of the more controversial acts performing is Irish rap trio Kneecap who have been in the headlines recently after one of their members was charged with a terror offence. Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in London in November last year. Last week the 27-year-old, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in 'Free Mo Chara' T-shirts. He was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said the group's performance at the festival, taking place on the West Holts Stage at 4pm on Saturday, is not 'appropriate' and Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said she thought the BBC 'should not be showing' Kneecap's performance. Performing in the coveted Sunday tea-time legends slot this year is Sir Rod Stewart who previously said he will be joined by his former Faces band member Ronnie Wood, as well as some other guests. His performance is to come after the Maggie May singer postponed a string of concerts in the US, due to take place this month, while he recovered from flu. Organiser Emily Eavis has said the festival, which has capacity for 210,000 people, has sold 'a few thousand less tickets' this year in a bid to avoid overcrowding. In an appearance on the Sidetracked podcast, Eavis outlined the changes that have been made to this year's festival and said music area Shangri-La is 'going full trees and green space' which is 'completely the opposite to anything they've done in the past'. Among the acts expected to draw large crowds this year is alternative pop star Charli XCX, who will perform songs from her genre-defining sixth studio album Brat. She is performing on Saturday night on the Other Stage, 15 minutes before the West Holts stage is graced by US rapper Doechii, another artist who has exploded in popularity in the last year. Other performers include Irish singer CMAT, Prada singer Raye, US musician Brandi Carlile, Nile Rodgers and Chic, hip-hop star Loyle Carner, US pop star Gracie Abrams, indie outfit Wet Leg, Mercury Prize-winning jazz quintet Ezra Collective, US rapper Denzel Curry, and rising star Lola Young. The line-up also features a number of acts listed as TBA, as well as a mysterious act called Patchwork, who will take to the Pyramid Stage on Saturday. This year the BBC will provide live streams of the five main stages – Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and The Park. On Wednesday at 10pm the festival will open with a theatre and circus act set in the Pyramid Arena which will showcase acrobatic and circus performances, culminating in a fireworks display.
