A pupil in Scotland was thrown out of class for saying there are only two genders, it was reported in June.
In a three-minute recording*, the teacher told Murray, with no sense of irony, he was ‘entitled to his opinion’, but he couldn’t share it in class because ‘this is an inclusive school’. The teacher gave his own and the school’s opinion: ‘There are more than two genders. This view is acceptable in the school, and yours is not.’
‘Keep that opinion to your own house. I am stating what is national school authority policy,’ the teacher forcefully underlined.
