A mother has pulled her daughter out of school following an encounter with an “explicit doll”.
Ziba Kha was outraged when she found out that her four-year-old was playing with a doll that had male genitalia at school.
The young girl who attends Forest Lodge Academy in Leicester came home “talking about willies” when her mother wondered where she would of heard this from.
According to The Metro, Ziba said:
“My eldest daughter is a teacher and she suggested I ask the school, so I did. They told me it was just a toy that they had in the early years foundation stage but as a parent I was completely unaware they existed and I can’t see any educational value to a four year-old having one.”
“It’s not part of the curriculum. I’m not against sex education but this isn’t part of that. It’s taken away my right as a parent to introduce and discuss that sort of thing with her. Parents should be made aware. I’ve spoken to quite a few of them about this with children the same age and they feel the same as me.
“The dolls are explicit and there’s just no need for them. There’s a difference between teaching a child using a doll like that and a child playing with one.”
Ziba wrote to the school asking for the doll to be removed however the school declined and Ziba has pulled her daughter out.
She has complained to Leicester City Council and the Department for Education.
