A renowned Scottish philosopher has told an audience of experts gathered in London for a pro-family conference that “the term ‘progressive consensus’ has become a bullying term, it’s become a cover for intimidation.” Professor John Haldane, of the University of St Andrews and Baylor University, Texas, made the comments at this year’s Family Education Trust annual conference in central London, during his lecture on “The philosophical foundations of the family.” The day brought together bioethicists, lawyers, academics, medical experts, and campaigners, to hear Professor Haldane and Professor Kathryn Ecclestone of the University of Sheffield UK, who spoke on “Mindfulness and the continuing rise of ‘therapeutic education.”
