An increase in cases among young people in British schools is identified with ‘neogéneros’ like cat, horsedinosaurs or even the moon, concerning the British authorities.

The emergence of these cases is to create coexistence problems among the students themselves, because there are accusations of discrimination against those who do not accept the identity of these teenagers who identify themselves as animals or animal-like, at the same time that the attitude of these young children when they are not allowed to “respond by meowing like a cat” in school activities, for example.

In this regard, Spanish media outlet elEconomista.es pointed out that a few days ago a conversation between a teacher and a student from a school in East Sussex (United Kingdom) went viral due to its outlandish content. In it, the teacher called his student “despicable” because of him she refuses to accept the identity of a classmate who identifies herself as a cat.

This issue has reached the highest levels of government. In fact, The Telegraph, which was the first media to publish about the cases, collected a statement from a spokesman for Rishi Sunak, the British Prime Minister, understanding the concerns of parents over the information that emerged.

Warning

All eyes are on the school teacher, from the very beginning of the controversy it was precisely the words of a teacher who reproached a student for his attitude towards his classmate.

The spokesman for Rishi Sunak gives notice to the teacher who invited them not “teach controversial opinions as fact, closing valid discussions and debates” emphasized that “it is important for parents and guardians to ensure that children are not influenced by the personal opinions of those who teach them.”

Several school associations such as the Safe Schools Alliance warn of the vulnerability of teachers when facing these cases without assistance and without protocol. “Teachers have blind spots where it enters anything to do with identity, because they’re afraid of doing something wrong.”said Tracy Shaw, a member of the association.
