A teacher, fired for not going along with an eight year-old girl’s wish to be treated as a boy, is speaking up in an employment tribunal about her worries for the child’s welfare. The Mail has the story.
She was ordered by the headteacher before the start of term to go along with the wishes of the pupil to ‘socially transition’ under the guidance of controversial LGBT charity Stonewall.
It meant calling her by a boy’s name and using male pronouns, and also involved an ultimately futile attempt to keep her gender change a secret from classmates.
She added that children are being supported by teachers and schools to believe that they are in the “wrong body”. She is bringing a case against the primary school and Nottinghamshire County Council, claiming she was victimised for whistleblowing and unfairly dismissed in 2022. …
She said her sacking, for wanting to protect vulnerable children from harm, has torn her life apart and left her with the prospect of never being able to teach again. …
In 2021, the school adopted training methods devised by Stonewall, which urges teachers to “remove any unnecessarily gendered language” from the classroom.
