The Telegraph reported that a toddler was kicked out of a nursery school for being transphobic (emphasis mine):
Department for Education (DfE) data show the child, aged either three or four, was suspended from a state school in the 2022-23 academic year for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity”.The school and further details of the case were not disclosed.But statistics show that 94 pupils at state primary schools were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia and homophobia in 2022-23.These included 10 pupils from year one and three from year two, where the maximum age is seven.One of these included a child of nursery age, the data show.
I have no words. I am literally speechless.
Three-year-olds are still trying to go to the bathroom on their own. They’re still learning how to feed themselves. They’re still trying to figure out what foods they like.
If your toddler knows anything about sexuality…the parents need to seek help.
Your three-year-old should be learning how to share, spell & write their name, colors, shapes, etc.
This is insanity (emphasis mine):
Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, said: “Every once in a while, the extremes of gender ideology throw up a story that seems too crazy to believe, and a toddler being suspended from nursery for so-called ‘transphobia’ or homophobia is one such example.“Worse still, this is not an isolated case. Apparently, 13 four and five-year-olds were suspended or permanently excluded from school for the same reason.“Teachers and school leaders involved in this insanity should be ashamed of themselves for projecting adult concepts and beliefs onto such young children.“It’s unforgivable for children’s vital early education to be so traumatically disrupted by school leaders who prioritise activists’ demands over their charges’ wellbeing.”
Suspensions and expulsions across all ages have grown greatly since the gender ideology has exploded:
Across all state primary schools, the number of pupils suspended or expelled for homophobic or transphobic behaviour increased from 164 in 2021-22 to 178 in 2022-23.The largest number of suspensions and exclusions for this reason in 2022-23 was in Essex (16), followed by Birmingham (15), Bradford (11) and Norfolk (eight).The data has only been collected since the 2020-21 academic year, and students can be excluded for multiple reasons.
The Telegraph’s stats did not break down the reasons, and the data only starts in 2020. What happened in 2020? The pandemic, Black Lives Matter, a huge jump in trans people, and everyone becoming even more sensitive.
Like what:
In the 2022-23 academic year, 787,221 pupils were suspended across England’s schools, more than double the number in 2016-17.Of these, some 84,339 were primary school students, an increase of 31 per cent from 64,337.Students facing permanent exclusions increased by 21 per cent to 9,377 in 2022-23, although the number of primary pupils excluded has fallen by 4.2 per cent over that period.The trend does not appear to be slowing. The latest figures, for the 2023 autumn term, show suspensions for all reasons jumped by 41 per cent among primary school pupils while permanent exclusions increased by a third (35.2 per cent).
