Remember When Children Were Allowed To Be Innocent?

On Monday, The Daily Wire posted an article about a child between the ages of 3 and 4 being suspended from nursery school for being “transphobic.”

The article notes:

“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 Telegraph reported.

…“Worse still, this is not an isolated case,” she continued. “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 prioritize activists’ demands over their charges’ wellbeing.”

Although the article does not cite the specifics of the incident, it notes:

“In 2022, a Church of England school in the Isle of Wight warned a six-year-old boy’s parents that he might be deemed ‘transphobic’ if he were to question another pupil wearing a dress,” The Daily Mail pointed out.

I can easily picture a three-year-old boy walking up to another three-year-old boy and asking him why he is wearing a dress. That is not transphobic–that is a normal childhood question from a child that is probably too young to have the proper social graces.
