"Brighton and Hove parents have raised concerns about being asked to support their three and four-year-olds to choose which gender, if any, they identify with when accepting a place for primary schools."
Brighton and Hove News » Brighton and Hove schools ask three-year-olds what gender, if any, they identify with
I cannot claim any expertise on this subject; but it does seem a bizarre question to ask 3 and 4 year olds. Watching the interview on Sky News, the teacher kept insisting it was for the 'protection of a handful of children'; but when pressed on what that actually meant, didn't have answers. Is there really a need for 3 and 4 year olds to be asked such questions, and do they the have the capacity to answer ? To me, it seems very disturbing at such a young age.
