The Irish Muslim Council has said it is “not appropriate” to teach children about gender identity issues in primary schools.
In a letter posted on their Twitter account, the council said it supported the position of the Catholic Primary Schools Management Association (CPSMA), which has written to the Irish Government arguing that students should not be taught what it means to be transgender.
The letter mentioned that, “The Irish Muslim Council believes every child in primary school should be supported, respected and treated with consideration”.
It added: “We think it is unacceptable to teach children about gender identity under the pretext of teaching them about diversity.”
