Cann Hall Primary School has been in the news today after using Acid House-style smiley faces to conceal the identities of pupil pictured on its website.
As ever, the voice of sanity comes from Frank Furedi. He is quoted by Metro:

"Every time a school takes silly measures, it says we see the world through the eyes of a paedophile."

Did you really say that? Do you seriously agree with what the Living Marxism/RCP/Spiked lot have to say?
I an with asquith on this one. The school in question is being stupid byt Frank Furedi ! Really! He and the rest of the RCP have become contrarians - whatever the supposed consensus is - they will oppose it not out of any principle or based on any facts but just for the sake of it.
So which of Furedi's books have you two read?
I agree there is an element of being contrarian for the sake of it about Spiked, but it has fewer dud articles than, say, Comment is Free. I have even written a couple of articles for them myself.
And to dismiss a writer because he is part of something called "the Living Marxism/RCP/Spiked lot" is silly and lazy.
