A toddler was thrown out of nursery after being accused of transphobia or homophobia, according to data from the Department for Education (DfE). The child, barely out of nappies, was punished for alleged "abuse" against sexual orientation and gender identity.

The child, who was either three or four years old, was suspended from a state school three years ago under these Orwellian guidelines, despite the obvious reality that a toddler can barely grasp basic language, let alone complex ideological debates.

The DfE has refused to disclose details of the case or even name the school, raising serious questions about the transparency of such decisions. And alarmingly, this case is not a one-off.

According to The Telegraph, a staggering 94 primary school children in England were either suspended or permanently expelled for so-called transphobia and homophobia in the 2022/23 academic year. Among them, ten were from Year 1 and three from Year 2—meaning children no older than seven were being penalised for supposedly unacceptable views.
