A British toddler was kicked out of a nursery school after being accused of being transphobic or homophobic, according to local media reports.
The child, aged 3 or 4, was kicked out of an unnamed school nursery “for being transphobic,” the Telegraph reported Monday.
The name of the school and details of the case were not disclosed by the Department for Education (DfE) of the United Kingdom, the report said.
A DfE spokesman told the newspaper that “all pupils and staff should feel safe and protected at school and should never face violence or abuse.”
Children inside a school. A British toddler was reportedly expelled from a nursery for being described as transphobic.
“Educators and administrators engaging in this kind of behavior should be embarrassed for imposing adult ideologies on very young kids,” she remarked.
Author J.K. Rowling, who has spoken out on trans issues, took issue with the suspension.
“This is oppressive madness. Punishing little kids for identifying gender? That’s fanatical and those with such views should steer clear of any influence over children,” she shared on X.
Lord Young, the director of the Free Speech Union, told the newspaper: “It beggars belief that schools are suspending children as young as five for breaching their ‘transphobia’ policy. 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 favor of something less dogmatic.”
