Toddler kicked out of nursery for ‘being transphobic or homophobic’ as shocking stats laid bare
A TODDLER was kicked out of nursery after being accused of being transphobic or homophobic.
Data from the Department for Education revealed a child, aged either three or four, had been suspended from a state school around three years ago for "abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity".
Details of the specific school or the case were not disclosed but the toddler was not alone in their suspension.
94 students at state primary schools were suspended, or in some cases permanently excluded, for transphobia and homophobia during the academic year 2022-23, the Telegraph revealed.
Of these, ten were from Year 1 while three were in Year 2 - where the maximum possible age of students is just seven.
The data, however, also revealed the staggering case of the toddler being kicked out of their nursery.

Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, said: "Every once in a while, the extremes of gender ideology throw up a story that seems too crazy to believe, and a toddler being suspended from nursery for so-called 'transphobia' or homophobia is one such example."
She also took aim at how this did not appear to be an isolated case, adding that 13 children, aged four and five, had also been suspended or permanently excluded from school for the exact same reason.
Helen continued: "Teachers and school leaders involved in this insanity should be ashamed of themselves for projecting adult concepts and beliefs on to such young children.
"It's unforgivable for children's vital education to be so traumatically disrupted by school leaders who prioritise activists' demands over their charges' wellbeing."
The number of pupils suspended or expelled for homophobic or transphobic behaviour increased slightly between 2021-22 and 2022-23, moving up from 164 cases to 178.
Essex saw the highest number of suspensions and exclusions, with 16 in the academic year 2022-23.
Birmingham followed in a very close second with 15, while Bradford took third place with 11.
Data on these cases only began being collected in the academic year 2020-21.
