A nearby school in Seaford has dropped author JK Rowling from its house names due to her controversial opinions on the trans community, which do not align with the school’s belief in tolerance and equality for all.
According to The Argus, Seaford Head School issued a letter to students and parents which read: “As a school committed to stopping bullying and creating a safe environment, we no longer think that JK Rowling is a suitable representative, because of her recent words about the trans community.”It continued: “Intolerance and discrimination are treated very severely by our school and we do not want to promote anyone or anything that encourages such prejudice.
