A Conservative MP has claimed “cultural Marxism” is “destroying our children’s souls” and causing self-harm, suicide and “epidemic levels of anxiety”.
Miriam Cates, the MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge in South Yorkshire, told a conference in Westminster on Monday that young people would not have children if they did not have “hope for the future”.
She said: “That hope is sadly diminishing in so many of our young people today, because liberal individualism has proven to be completely powerless to resist the cultural Marxism that is systematically destroying our children’s souls.
“When culture, schools and universities openly teach that our country is racist, our heroes are villains, humanity is killing the Earth, you are what you desire, diversity is theology, boundaries are tyranny and self-restraint is oppression, is it any wonder that mental health conditions, self-harm and suicide, and epidemic levels of anxiety and confusion characterise the emerging generation?”
She added: “We must end the indoctrination of our children with destructive and narcissistic ideologies, instead protecting childhood, training children in the timeless virtues and teaching them how to love our country.”
