A teacher has claimed she was forced to apologise to pupils at a private girl’s school for calling them girls. After the incident, which happened at a £20,000-a-year school, the pupils allegedly complained and staged a protest.
The teacher, who wished to remain anonymous to protect the pupils, told the Mail the pupils complained because not all the girls in the class identified as female.
She added that one pupil allegedly challenged the teacher to acknowledge their pronouns. The following day, the pupils in the class reportedly changed their pronouns to they/them.
The Mail reported that the reason the pupils decided to stage a protest was that the teacher allegedly refused to acknowledge their request on usage and said she would need to involve parents if a pupil’s preferred pronouns differed from their biological sex.
