Go to Article

A toddler was allegedly suspended from a nursery after being accused of transphobia or homophobia.

According to data from the Department for Education (DfE) reviewed by The Telegraph, a child aged three or four was suspended during the 2022/23 academic year for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity.”

From Independent:

Although the school has not disclosed any further details of the incident, data does show 94 pupils at state primary schools were suspended or permanently excluded for homophobia or transphobia in 2022/23.

Ten of the suspended pupils were from year one and three were from year two where the maximum age is seven.

It also showed one child was of nursery age, according to the newspaper.

Latest DfE data from the autumn term in 2023 also revealed 82 pupils were suspended for the same reason.

The data, which has only been collected since the 2020/21 academic year, also showed the number of pupils suspended or expelled for homophobic or transphobic behaviour increased from 164 in 2021/22 to 178 in 2022/23.

Figures for the autumn term in 2023 revealed all suspensions, not just for homophobia and transphobia, increased by 41 per cent among primary school pupils and permanent exclusions increased by a third.

“This is totalitarian insanity. If you think small children should be punished for being able to recognise sex, you are a dangerous zealot who should be nowhere near kids or in any position of authority over them,” J.K. Rowling commented.

Daily Mail reports:

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.

‘Teachers and school leaders involved in this insanity should be ashamed of themselves for projecting adult concepts and beliefs on to such young children.’

Across all primary schools and state 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 for this reason in 2022-23 was in Essex, with 16, followed by Birmingham, 15, Bradford, 11 and Norfolk, eight.

Figures began in the 2020-21 academic year.

Lord Young, director of the Free Speech Union, said: ‘I would have thought that if your ideology is so rigid it justifies you punishing toddlers for not complying with it, that’s a powerful argument for discarding it in favour of something less dogmatic.’

The Department for Education said: ‘All pupils and staff should feel safe and protected at school and should never face violence or abuse.
