   Students at woke schools in the UK have been identifying as neogender   
   “furries” like horses, dinosaurs and even curse-casting moons — sparking   
   outrage from Britain’s top leader and a government investigation.   
      
   The revelations are part of an investigation by The Telegraph, which   
   reported this week on a now-viral video showing a teacher at a school in   
   East Sussex blasting a girl as “despicable” for refusing to accept a   
   classmate who identified as a cat. Now, that school, Rye College, is being   
   probed by the government, the newspaper said.   
      
   The outlet also found a student at an unidentified school who refers to   
   themselves as “moonself” — and wears a cape to class to express their   
   “true self” — even though other students must wear uniforms and could be   
   reprimanded for not adhering to the dress code.   
      
   The kid didn’t identify as the moon but as a moon — and claimed to be able   
   to cast curses on people.   
      
   At a secondary school — the equivalent of American high school — in the   
   southwest of England, another student insisted on identifying as a   
   dinosaur. And The Telegraph also turned up a student who called themselves   
   a horse.   
      
   Rishi Sunak’s spokesperson said the reports over gender identity “will be   
   concerning for parents.”AP   
   Other pupils identifying as cats — or “catself” — are also allowed to wear   
   cat ears to express their “true self,” The Telegraph said of the so-called   
   neogender known as a “furry.”   
      
   A student at a school in Wales said a fellow classmate complains about   
   being “discriminated against if you do not refer to them as ‘catself’” —   
   and will “meow rather than answer a question in English.”   
      
   “And the teachers are not allowed to get annoyed about this because it’s   
   seen as discriminating,” the other pupil said.   
      
   “It’s affecting other people and their education and everybody in their   
   lessons. It’s distracting to sit in a lesson and have someone meow to a   
   teacher rather than answer in English.   
      
   Sunak spoke out after now-viral video caught a teacher in Rye calling a   
   girl “despicable” for denying a classmate’s right to identify as a   
   cat.Google Maps   
   “It’s a big ask to sit there and listen to someone answer like that and   
   not have that be the main talk of the classroom rather than the lesson   
   going on.”   
      
   Regarding the cat incident, a rep for UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak ripped   
   the growing classroom trend, telling The Telegraph: “We understand why   
   these reports will be concerning for parents.”   
      
   “Teachers have a responsibility to encourage their students to engage   
   respectfully with those they disagree with,” the rep said.   
      
   At Rye College, the East Sussex school, the teacher angrily told the   
   objecting student that she should go to another school for thinking that   
   “if you have a vagina you’re a girl and if you have a penis you’re a boy.”   
      
   Audio of the fight caught the teacher insisting it was a “fact” that you   
   can “be who you want to be, and how you identify is up to you.”   
      
   Sunak’s rep said teachers “should also not be teaching contested opinions   
   as fact, shutting down valid discussions and debates.   
      
   “It’s important parents and carers are reassured that children aren’t   
   being influenced by personal views of those teaching them,” the rep said.   
   “Any example that strays from this would be wrong and we would expect   
   headteachers to act.”   
      
   Tracy Shaw, of the child advocacy group Safe Schools Alliance, said that   
   the current climate makes teachers fear taking the wrong step.   
      
   “If a child is coming to school identifying as a cat or a horse, that   
   should immediately raise red flags,” Shaw told the UK paper.   
      
   “The problem is that teachers have a blind spot where anything involving   
   identity comes in, because they are frightened of doing the wrong thing.   
      
   “They think they are being kind by affirming these behaviors, but they are   
   not being kind, because they are likely to be missing all sorts of things   
   that are going on in that child’s life.”
