A British man has been banned from teaching for numerous breaches of the Teachers’ Standards code, a Department for Education (DfE) panel report shows, contrary to claims that Joshua Sutcliffe was banned only for using the wrong pronoun when addressing a transgender male pupil.
One Facebook user (here) wrote: “So a teacher has been ‘banned’ from HIS profession, simply because HE ‘misgendered’ a student (is it ok to say student?).
All the maths teacher did was praise a group of pupils by saying: 'Well done girls'.”Similar posts can be seen here and here.
“His conduct... demonstrated a failure to treat pupils with dignity and/or respect and/or a failure to safeguard pupils’ well-being,” the panel added.
Joshua Sutcliffe was banned from teaching for numerous reasons, which included, but was not limited to, his misgendering a pupil.
