More Than 100 Councils Ask Parents What Gender Their Three Year-Old Child is on School Application Form

More than 100 councils are asking parents what “gender identity” is used by their three year-old child on school application forms. The Mail has the story.

Parents are being asked how their three year-old children identify to register them for a place at school.

Local authority admissions forms ask what “gender identity” primary school aged children have in addition to their sex.

The form asks parents whether their children are “man/boy/male”, “woman/girl/female” or whether they would “prefer to self-describe”.

They are then encouraged to give a more detailed description of the “gender identity” of their child, who would be aged under five if registering for a place at a primary school.

The software comes from an external provider and is used by more than 100 local authorities across the U.K., including by councils in London and the North of England, it is understood.

More than 550,000 school place applications were made using the software in 2021. However only parents applying for a primary school place for their children for the next academic year will be confronted by the question after it was recently updated, it is further understood.

One Buckinghamshire mother who was applying for a school place for her three year-old son shared the question online and said: “It has no place on the form with regard to three year-olds on any level.”

She further noted that parents were not asked about potential allergies or other health or behavioural information that may be useful to schools.

Last night Martin Tett, the head of Buckinghamshire Council, admitted that it was “totally inappropriate to ask this question of young” and said he has asked for it to be removed as “swiftly as possible”.

His call was echoed by women’s rights campaigners who demanded that local authorities immediately “ditch these questions or ditch the software”.

Martin Tett finally does something vaguely conservative.

I first encountered his name when he complained that Local Government in general should be allocated more money from central Government. He didn’t seem to like the idea of holding the required referendum to increase local (Council) tax to cover the spending he wanted.

He also became a despised name in our household during Covid with his regular worthy (busy body) ‘we’re all in this together’ e-mails to Bucks residents. So despised that we dubbed the messages ‘Tett Offensives’.

When the people of this country say enough is enough. We just did in the USA and I can tell you, a weight of oppression has been lifted from our shoulders.

You make the whole of life ugly and then you ask an unfair question at an unfair age. Just tops it off really the corruption and the Sadism. Children pick up on a lot more than we ordinarily acknowledge and that is the sickest thing about this. The guardians are not only willing but eager to demonstrate their betrayal. This is a sign of the end.

Presumably the three year old who identifies as ‘man’ was an unaccompanied child migrant.

I would just send the from back with a question at the end – ‘Are you a complete spaz or a degenerate monster?’ If you are either then I would suggest that you stay away from children for the rest of your career.

It is hard to believe this takes place in an educated country. Oh well, more evidence the Uk has been bought and paid for. Enjoy the journey.
