A toddler has been kicked out of nursery after being accused of “transphobia”, sparking outrage among parents and free speech advocates.
Department for Education data revealed the child, aged either three or four, was suspended from a state school for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity” during the 2022-23 academic year.
Further data published in the Telegraph shows 94 pupils at state primary schools were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia and homophobia during the same academic year.
This included 10 pupils from Year 1 and three from Year 2, where children are no older than seven. The figures were first reported by the Telegraph, which revealed the staggering case of the nursery-aged child.
Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, condemned the suspension as “insanity”.
