"My principal called me to her office to 'check you're not not planning to do anything crazy with your class,' to remind me that we have 'very right-wing Catholic families in our school' and to 'keep it traditional, keep it mother and father'," the teacher wrote.

The INTO recently launched a set of guidelines for inclusivity in staff rooms for schools.
The guidelines include to ask staff what pronouns they use, to "respond positively when a colleague discloses their sexual orientation or gender identity" and to challenge "homophobic, biphobic or transphobic" comments and jokes.Delighted with the response our LGBT+ Inclusive Staffroom guidelines have received so far! Have you seen them in your staffroom? If so send us a picture #LGBTinclusivestaffroom pic.twitter.com/3I7QFFwQcQ
