Southampton School Defends Transgender Teacher
School Administration Responds to Feedback
A primary school in Southampton has stepped forward to support a highly respected transgender supply teacher following some parental complaints. The school sent a letter to parents explaining their stance and emphasizing the teacher’s professional conduct.
Parent Expresses Concerns
Rachel Bennet, a parent of a seven-year-old student in the teacher’s class, voiced her unease to the Southern Daily Echo. She mentioned, “I think it’s a bit much for year-two children and can be very confusing for them. It seems to have caught everyone off guard, particularly when my daughter was in an English lesson and the teacher discussed their gender and choice of clothing.”
