Wave of terror across Europe: Cameroonian migrant linked to brutal concrete slab attacks in France, Switzerland, and Netherlands
European investigators have pieced together the violent trail of Levis, E., an illegal migrant from Cameroon accused of embarking on a deadly wave of terror last year in which he used the same modus operandi of ambushing strangers with concrete blocks.
The 27-year-old suspect is now believed to have carried out brutal assaults in at least seven different locations across France, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, Swiss news outlet 20 Minuten reported on Tuesday.
Many of his victims were seriously injured and required hospitalization, while at least one died from their injuries.
Dubbed by French media as Le Tueur au Parpaing (“The murderer with the cobblestone”), Levis E.’s spree of unprovoked violence first came to light following his arrest on Nov. 12, 2024, in Toulon, southern France. He had allegedly attacked a woman aboard a train, prompting French transport police to intervene. It was only after DNA samples were collected post-arrest that the scope of his offenses came to light.
Authorities now allege that Levis E. is behind a series of gruesome stone attacks targeting homeless individuals, passers-by, and a nurse. In every known case, the assailant used heavy concrete slabs or stones as a weapon, striking victims without warning — often while they were sleeping or completely unaware.
The earliest known case linked to Levis E. pertains to an attack in July last year in Dijon, France, where a nurse was struck on the head with a large concrete stone. Although the suspect was identified, he remained at large, despite having already received a formal deportation order to leave the country.
Further attacks followed as the perpetrator moved freely throughout Western Europe, including three incidents in October. On Oct. 8, a 30-year-old professional named Marco was nearly killed when a 10-kilo concrete slab was dropped on his head from a 6.5-meter height as he walked through Bern, Switzerland.
Two weeks later, on Oct. 23, a homeless man was hospitalized after having a concrete block dropped on his head while sleeping in the Parisian suburb of Évry, before another homeless man in Strasbourg was seriously injured in an almost identical attack there.
DNA on the weapons linked Levis. E to the first two attacks, while the third was caught on CCTV footage in which he was identified.
The rampage continued into November when an identical attack was launched against another man sleeping on the streets in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam on Nov. 5. Remix News reported on this attack extensively following the release of CCTV footage, which went viral on social media.
Days later, on Nov. 10, a 39-year-old Moldovan national was then murdered in Lyon using the same modus operandi — a concrete block had been used to bludgeon the man while he slept.
French authorities also suspect that a 2020 cold case in Colmar, where an 80-year-old homeless man was beaten to death with a stone, may also be connected to Levis E., based on newly matched forensic evidence.
In an interview with 20 Minuten, the victim in the Bern case spoke about the attack. “I was well-dressed, coming home from work,” Marco recalled. “And even if I wasn’t — even a homeless man should get help in that situation.”
“Suddenly I felt this immense blow to the skull, from then on it only roared in my head, really loud,” he said, “I didn’t hear or see anything for a few seconds.”
“After two steps, my legs became weak, and I had to crouch down against the wall. I became weaker and weaker, noticed how I was slowly fading away,” he added, saying the ordeal now plays back as a nightmare.
Doctors later told him that he had survived an attack that statistically should have killed him.
While being held in custody, Levis E. is said to have spoken of “seeing the devil and demons,” hinting at possible mental illness — though this remains unconfirmed.
Prosecutors in multiple jurisdictions, however, are moving forward with charges of attempted murder and murder, with trials expected to begin later this year.
One in Five EU Lawmakers Broke Same Rule as Le Pen Accused of, Almost All Avoided Punishment: Report
The controversial move to ban National Rally leader Marine Le Pen from standing in the French presidential election has been accused of demonstrating double standards, with reports claiming that over a hundred other European politicians violated the same rules without facing prosecution.
A Paris court enacted a five-year ban from running in any election against populist firebrand Marine Le Pen after finding her, and other members of her National Rally party, guilty of “embezzling” European Union funds for political activities in France.
Under EU rules, all Members of the European Parliament are afforded hundreds of thousands to pay for staff and their operations in Strasbourg and Brussels. Le Pen, like many other MEPs before her, was accused of using such funds to pay for other party expenses outside of the transnational parliament.
While the EU has never released a full accounting of all parliamentarians accused of the same misconduct as Le Pen was found guilty of, a 2023 report from the Follow the Money website found that between 2019 and 2022, 139 Members of European Parliament (MEPs), or around one in five members at the time, had been found to have broken the same rules, the Times of London noted on Tuesday.
Yet, according to the report, just one MEP, Eva Kaili, a Greek socialist and former Vice-President of the European Parliament, has faced an actual investigation during the time period studied. However, Kaili was already under heavy scrutiny over her alleged role in the Qatar-gate scandal in which leftist EU parliamentarians have been accused of accepting bribes from the Islamic kingdom, allegedly in exchange for promoting Qatari interests in Strasbourg.
The report found that the other 138 MEPs were merely instructed to return the misused funds to the EU Parliament before criminal charges could be brought.
There have been claims that the rules are enforced selectively, and particularly against politicians who have been critical of the European Union or its Parliament. Indeed, Brexit leader and former MEP Nigel Farage was a notable example of a Eurosceptic politician who had faced investigation for allegedly using EU funds on other expenses and was reportedly ordered to pay back £35,000 to the EU.
Speaking on Times Radio on Monday evening, former BBC journalist Michael Crick said that the misuse of EU Parliament funds by political parties to fund operations in their home countries has been a longstanding open secret known to many journalists and the EU body itself, saying that hundreds of MEPs likely did exactly the same thing that Le Pen was accused of.
“Everybody in the European Parliament was at it, they all knew each other were at it, so they didn’t complain because they would be complained against themselves, so everybody turned a blind eye and the European Parliament as an institution was reluctant to do anything about it because it would go public and undermine the institution of Europe and all that,” he said.
“I am in favour of the European Union, I wish we [the UK] were back in there, but I have to say that if you are a Eurosceptic, you are more likely to fall afoul of all this than if you were a pro-European. The system is unfair and, frankly, there must be hundreds of MEPs and former MEPs saying quietly to themselves ‘I’m not sure if she [Le Pen] has done any worse than I,” Crick remarked.
In contrast to Le Pen, current French Prime Minister François Bayrou, an ardently pro-EU liberal politician, faced similar accusations. While other members of his Democratic Movement (MoDem) party were found guilty of embezzling EU funds, Bayrou was acquitted last year. Even during the trial, prosecutors called for Bayrou to face a three-year ban on running for elections, two years less than the ban placed against Le Pen. Ultimately the court afforded the future PM the “benefit of the doubt” in the case and the charges against him were dropped.
Le Pen has accused the Paris court of acting like those in “authoritarian regimes” and claimed that the remarkable ruling to impose the ban on her seeking public office even during the appeal process — in which the presumption of innocence is typically afforded to defendants in France — was in violation of the rule of law and clearly politically motivated.
The National Rally leader vowed to fight the case on appeal. It is possible that the appeal process could conclude before the 2027 presidential election. However, that is no guarantee, and Le Pen likely faces an uphill battle convincing the typically left-leaning French courts to overturn her conviction.
Lawsuit Demands Afghan Be Brought to America From Germany Because He Doesn’t Speak German
There have been a lot of dumb lawsuits against the Trump administration, but the one by the International Refugee Assistance Project epresenting World Church Services, HIAS and Lutheran Community Services is particularly dumb.
One of the Pacito v. Trump plantiffs is ‘Ahmed’, an Afghan man currently in Germany, on account of Biden’s mass evacuation, and the lawsuit insists that he be allowed to come to America because “he does not know the German language, which prevents him from working in Germany to support himself”.
And it’s somehow easier to dump him in America than spend 10 Euros on a DuoLingo subscription.
The failure to learn German does not make Ahmed a refugee. And it’s a whole lot cheaper for us to buy him German lessons than to spend the rest of his life subsidizing him and his entire clan in America.
One outrage after another: Europe is lost
By Eric Utter
A French court recently sentenced National Rally leader Marine Le Pen to prison and banned her from running in national elections for five years, ostensibly for embezzling European Union funds. Even the court admitted that Le Pen did not personally profit.
This is almost certainly a ruse, as French courts clearly do not care where or how non-conservative politicians and public servants get their money.
Jordan Bardella, president of National Rally and Le Pen’s presumptive successor in the presidential run, strongly condemned the ruling stating, “Today, it is not only Marine Le Pen who is being unjustly condemned: it is French democracy that is being executed.”
Well, France has a long history of executing out-of-favor politicians, allegedly in defense of democracy.
Remember the Jacobins?
But, hey, when in doubt about your election chances, and, to save your beloved “democracy,” it’s always a good thing to jail your political opponents, right? Corollary: if somehow they are still able to run — and win — just declare the election null and void! It’s easy and brilliant! Eat, sleep, repeat, right? Keep doing so until your guy/gal/they is elected! The Soviets did this almost flawlessly, as did the Nazis.
Bridging the East and West, left and right, in a touching display of totalitarian inclusiveness, Brussels has now fully embraced these totally tyrannical tenets.
Woe to the wayward, formerly independent nation that has the temerity to favor a conservative non-globalist to head their country. Hell hath no fury like Brussels scorned!
So, screw you, Romania! Get ready to be corrected, Germans! The French government has proactively screwed its own citizens. And, you English … well, never mind, you are obviously gloriously intent on your own submission, anyway. Well done!
Glad to hear Canada is on board with the Great Submission, as well!
Fortunately, you Canucks have fully embraced Socialism and complete submission to EU style globalism rather than siding with your former ally, friend, neighbor — and protector — the United States, and addressing its core concerns regarding unfair tariffs, fentanyl and undocumented immigrants pouring across its northern border with you! Bravo!
England, France, Canada … you might find it challenging to fight for your lives against your implacable foes in future wars without the help of the U.S. like you had in World Wars I and II.
Good luck with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea. Although, really, it probably doesn’t matter, as you have all already let yourselves be conquered by Islam.
Tolerance. Inclusion. Totalitarianism. Allahu Akbar.

‘Arabic roaring, zero respect!’ — Austrian teacher lifts lid on chaos in migrant language classes
A German language teacher working in Vienna’s state-funded education program for migrant children has sounded the alarm on the abuse she and her colleagues experience during lessons, describing a classroom environment plagued by chaos, disrespect, and an unwillingness to learn.
Speaking anonymously to the Exxpress over fear of reprisal, the teacher paints a bleak picture of the free tutoring initiative financed by the city, which supports more than 12,000 schoolchildren annually, most from migrant backgrounds. The goal of the program is to improve skills in German, English, and mathematics. In practice, the teacher says, it often descends into disorder.
“Arabic roaring, soccer in the classroom, and zero respect,” she recounts. “I fight for two hours against a total refusal to learn.”
Instead of engaging with lessons, students allegedly shout, play with their phones, throw worksheets on the ground, or simply walk out of class. Some demand to pray during lessons, while others show up once a month or not at all, sometimes citing the prioritization of religious activities as a reason for their absence.
Despite each two-hour session costing Austrian taxpayers €57 per teacher, along with the free provision of school supplies like notebooks and pens, attendance and motivation among students remain low. “Often, only one child out of ten registered students actually comes to class,” the teacher claims.
In one alarming incident, a teacher tried to follow a child who had left the classroom unsupervised, only to find herself locked inside by other students holding the door shut.
“Every time I turn on the electronic blackboard, one of the children immediately switches it off again. A colleague is constantly mocked by a group of boys. Some leave in tears,” she says. Even fellow teachers with migrant backgrounds are reportedly reluctant to continue teaching these classes. “They don’t want to teach children like that.”
Respect for authority is said to be minimal. “We’re almost never greeted — unless a Muslim teacher walks in. Then it’s warm welcomes,” she adds. When asked what they like about Austria, some students reportedly respond, “Nothing at all.”
The issues go beyond behavior to fundamental learning challenges. Even students attending higher-level schools such as AHS reportedly struggle with basic German, despite having lived in Austria for years. “Past tense? Never heard of it. Sentence structure? Nothing,” she laments.
The city’s “German Start” summer program, designed for children with no German skills, is also said to be underused. Many students reportedly prefer to spend the summer abroad. “I don’t want to learn anything in the summer — I’m in Turkey for two months!” one student is quoted as saying.
For the teacher, the experience has become deeply demoralizing. “I feel like a supplicant who has to humiliate herself in front of the children — just so that they can learn German with me,” she says.
The Austrian government recently announced plans to suspend family reunification for asylum seekers in the country, claiming the measure was necessary to prevent further overloading of the Austrian social system.
Chancellor Christian Stocker told journalists last month the suspension would help to ensure “the quality of the school system.”
The measure aligns with public opinion, with a survey published in March revealing more than 80 percent of citizens back tighter asylum regulations.
In addition, migrant children will soon be required to attend orientation classes ahead of joining the main classrooms with other German-speaking students.
Under the new system announced by Education Minister Christoph Wiederkehr, children will first attend a semester-long orientation class where they will acquire basic German language skills to facilitate communication, fundamental school skills, such as writing, using scissors, and following classroom etiquette, and social values including respect, equality, and tolerance.
“This is a way to introduce young people without school experience to learning,” said Wiederkehr. “The German remedial class will be the next step for most of them. But even there, teaching German is difficult if students have never sat in a classroom before. The orientation class prepares them for this and thus relieves both the regular and the German remedial classes.”

German Economics Minister Habeck’s chatbot shows understanding for Islamists who celebrate Osama bin Laden
Whether it’s counselling, virtual dating or nutrition – today there are ‘AI tools’ for almost everything, digital applications based on artificial intelligence that are supposed to make everyday life easier. Habeck’s ministry has funded the development of an anti-racism chatbot – which, however, sometimes provides controversial answers.
While most people use AI programmes for tasks such as text summaries, spelling corrections or complex mathematical calculations, the company ‘Meta Impact’ has found a new use case: Racism. Together with ‘BIPoC experts’, the company has developed the chatbot ‘Youna’, which is designed to support ‘people affected by racism’. The problem is that the state-funded chatbot sometimes gives controversial answers – in various chats, for example, it shows understanding for Islamist statements or comments that it is ‘not right’ for a teacher to question the compulsory veiling of her 10-year-old pupil.
‘Youna’ stands for “You Are Not Alone” and aims to help people “process their experiences with racist discrimination” and find a way to deal with it. The company advertises with slogans such as ‘Developed by experts, lived through by those affected’ or ‘Next level empowerment with AI technology’. On its website, Youna states that it works in addition to anti-racism helplines, as ‘the staff there are very overworked and can barely keep up with the requests’.
To emphasise the need for the AI tool, ‘Youna’ regularly shares supposedly racist videos. In one of these videos, for example, it is categorised as racist for a veiled woman to be asked about her ‘ hood’ by an older woman in the gym.
In order to find out how far ‘Youna’ goes in its assessment of racism and to understand how the programme works, NIUS confronted the chatbot with ten different fictitious situations. The chatbot’s responses varied from humorous to dangerous.
Chat 1: The ‘cultural and religious practices’ of Muslims must be ‘appreciated’
In the first chat enquiry ‘My classmates don’t want to observe Ramadan with me, I feel discriminated against. What should I do?’ the chatbot does not suggest respecting the cultural and/or religious beliefs of the other children. On the contrary: it emphasises that the ‘cultural and religious practices’ of the fictitious Muslim questioner must be ‘appreciated’. The chatbot then recommends seeking dialogue with a trusted person. The website itself emphasises that the chatbot ‘does not replace a therapist, friend or counselling centre’ – instead, ‘Youna’ will also recommend talking to a trusted person in the following chats.
Chat 2: Calling a classmate who recites a letter from Islamist Osama Bin Laden an Islamist is ‘unfair’
The next chat takes the perspective of a child who claims: ‘In class, I recited Osama Bin Laden’s letter to America and my classmates are now calling me an Islamist. I feel discriminated against.’ Again, the chatbot does not address the actual problem – reading out the letter from an Islamist who was responsible for the terrorist attacks in the USA on 9/11, among other things. Instead, it describes the situation as ‘stressful and unfair’.
Chat 3: Situation where the police were called because a man was shoplifting escalated ‘due to a racist prejudice’
In the third chat, there is a lengthy conversation with Youna in which the situation of a man who was caught shoplifting and arrested is constructed. As the person in question has the name ‘Mohammed’ and is supposedly Muslim, the taxpayer-funded bot concludes: ‘It’s frightening that the situation has escalated due to a racist prejudice.’
Developed by ‘BIPoC experts’ – supported by left-wing activists
On its website, ‘Youna’ claims to have been developed by a team of ‘BIPoC’ experts. The abbreviation stands for ‘Black, Indigenous, People of Color’. The term explicitly excludes white people and is used in the left-wing scene as a politically correct code word to describe people with a migration background.
The ‘expert’ team of the anti-racism chatbot, which is based on the AI programme ChatGPT, is led by the self-proclaimed ‘social tech entrepreneur’ and ‘keynote speaker’ Said Haider. Haider, who is actually a lawyer, not only claims to be the ‘initiator of the world’s first anti-discrimination chatbot’, but also previously worked for four years for the controversial production ‘Datteltäter’ by the public broadcaster, which focussed on the supposed everyday problems of Muslims in Germany and repeatedly made discriminatory statements against German and non-Muslim women. Haider himself has also repeatedly made problematic statements about white women. The man, who calls himself a poet, regularly shares texts on Instagram that deal with his problems with porn consumption or his loneliness, for example.
His dislike of white women is also a recurring theme, for example when Haider writes: ‘It’s painful to admit to myself that I had a crush on privileged white women.’ Haider is not the only ‘Youna’ advertising face to stand out due to political bias. On the programme’s Instagram profile, young migrants are used as advertising faces who recount their personal experiences in relation to racism. However, instead of showing unbiased faces, ‘Youna’ uses left-wing activists such as the sea rescue photographer Adrian Pourviseh, who works for Sea-Watch, or the musician ‘Amouri’, who is known for his Palestinian activism.
Project was financially funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection
However, it was not only the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection that supported ‘Youna’. Other projects, including ‘Das Nettz’, a centre against ‘hate on the net’, which is financially supported by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, also transferred 13,000 euros to Youna.
Despite Youna’s many problems, the website claims to be funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection. In response to an enquiry from NIUS, the Ministry announced that Meta Impact, the company behind ‘Youna’, had received project funding of 199,990 euros as part of a project from the pilot phase of the Innovation Programme for Business Models and Pioneer Solutions (IGP) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection.
Berlin government wants to launch day against Islamophobia
The Berlin government wants to launch a day of action against Islamophobia. This was announced to German press agency dpa by the parliamentary party leaders of the SPD and CDU on the occasion of the Muslim Eid. ‘By introducing the 15th of March as a fixed day of remembrance and action against Islamophobia, we are strengthening social cohesion,’ said CDU parliamentary group leader Dirk Stettner.
The coalition intends to introduce a corresponding motion in parliament in the coming weeks. SPD parliamentary group leader Raed Saleh told dpa that Muslims are an ‘integral and indispensable part of Berlin’. Everyone should be able to live freely in the capital because Berlin is the city of individual fulfilment. An open mosque day is planned for the 15th March, as well as talks between the Berlin Senate and mosque communities.
Berlin already has an official Open Mosque Day – since 1997 it has been held on the 3rd of October, the day of German reunification. The simultaneous date was deliberately chosen in order to ‘express the self-image of Muslims as part of German unity and their cross-religious solidarity with the population as a whole’, as the Schura Rhineland-Palatinate explained in a press release (Apollo News reported).
‘Berlin stands for diversity and cohesion of all religions. We stand together against all forms of discrimination,’ emphasised Stettner. ‘15 March will be another day that connects Berlin with the world,’ said Stettner and Saleh. The United Nations declared the 15th of March as the Day against Islamophobia back in 2022.
Trump Calls Le Pen Ban to Seek Office “A Very Big Deal”
Donald Trump has joined the chorus of right-wing—and, in some cases, even establishment—world leaders condemning a Paris court’s decision to ban Marine Le Pen from running for office.
The U.S. president compared the National Rally leader’s persecution to the blatantly partisan legal witch hunt against himself and said the ruling was a “very big deal.” This suggests that the French Right could eventually benefit from the state’s embrace of lawfare, just as Trump did in America.
State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce also decried Le Pen’s exclusion as “particularly concerning given the aggressive and corrupt lawfare waged against President Trump here in the United States,” adding:
We support the right of everyone to offer their views in the public square—agree or disagree.
In an apparent reference to Vice President JD Vance’s February Munich speech on Europe’s “enemy within,” Bruce also called on the West to “do more” than simply “talk about democratic values. We must live them.”
Trump’s administration has appealed to the same values when responding to the UK’s attempts to dodge hefty U.S. car tariffs, with one source telling The Daily Telegraph there should be “no free trade without free speech.” The official was referring to the case of a British woman who was arrested in March 2023 for peacefully protesting near an abortion clinic, simply by holding a sign reading: “Here to talk if you want.”
[2/2] While recently in the UK, DRL Senior Advisor Sam Samson met with Livia Tossici-Bolt, who faces criminal charges for offering conversation within a legally prohibited “buffer zone” at an abortion clinic. We are monitoring her case. It is important that the UK respect and…
— State Dept: Democracy, Human Rights, & Labor (DRL) (@StateDRL) March 30, 2025
A UK government source responded by describing attacks on free speech as a “bugbear” of Trump’s team, adding that “I don’t think”—(translation, don’t hope)—“enhancing our economic engagement that is beneficial for both countries is contingent on this particular issue.”

JK Rowling unleashes blistering verdict on nursery that ‘banned toddler for being transphobic’
JK Rowling has condemned a nursery that suspended a toddler for alleged transphobia, describing the decision as “totalitarian insanity”.
The Harry Potter author took to the social media platform X to express her outrage after it emerged that a child aged either three or four had been suspended from a state nursery.
The incident has sparked debate about discipline policies in early education settings.
The child was suspended for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity”, according to data from the Department for Education.
Details of the specific school or case were not disclosed, but the incident took place around three years ago.
The suspension was recorded during the 2022-23 academic year at a state school.
Reacting to the news, Rowling penned on X: “If you think small children should be punished for being able to recognise sex, you are a dangerous zealot who should be nowhere near kids or in any position of authority over them.”
Lord Young, director of the Free Speech Union, echoed this sentiment when speaking to the Telegraph, saying: “If your ideology is so rigid it justifies you punishing toddlers for not complying with it, that’s a powerful argument for discarding it in favour of something less dogmatic.”
The case appears to be part of a wider trend. Data reveals that 94 pupils at state primary schools were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia or homophobia during the same academic year.
Of these, 10 were from Year 1 while three were in Year 2 – where the maximum possible age of students is just seven.
Across all primary schools and state schools, the number of pupils suspended or expelled for homophobic or transphobic behaviour increased from 164 in 2021-22 to 178 in 2022-23.
Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at human-rights charity Sex Matters, strongly criticised the nursery’s decision.
“Every once in a while, the extremes of gender ideology throw up a story that seems too crazy to believe, and a toddler being suspended from nursery for so-called ‘transphobia’ or homophobia is one such example,” she said.
Joyce added that this was not an isolated case, noting that 13 children aged four and five had also been suspended for similar reasons.
“Teachers and school leaders involved in this insanity should be ashamed of themselves for projecting adult concepts and beliefs on to such young children,” she stated.
Essex saw the highest number of suspensions and exclusions for homophobia or transphobia, with 16 in the academic year 2022-23.
Birmingham followed closely with 15 cases, while Bradford took third place with 11, and Norfolk recorded eight.
The Department for Education has only tracked this data since the 2020-21 academic year.
In 2022, a Church of England school in the Isle of Wight warned a six-year-old boy’s parents that he might be deemed ‘transphobic’ if he were to question another pupil wearing a dress.
Students can face exclusions for multiple reasons, according to the data.
A Department for Education spokesperson said: “All pupils and staff should feel safe and protected at school and should never face violence or abuse.”
“The Education Secretary has been clear that she expects school leaders to enforce good behaviour and we are committed to a comprehensive programme of behaviour support for schools.”
The spokesperson added: “Our Plan for Change sets out our relentless focus on making sure every child gets the best life chances, no matter their background, including establishing free breakfast clubs in every primary school, providing access to mental health support and making attendance one of the four core priorities of our school improvement teams.”
The case has drawn parallels to other controversies in education. In 2021, feminist professor Kathleen Stock was forced to leave the University of Sussex following criticism of her views on gender identity.
Last week, Sussex University was fined £585,000 for failing to uphold free speech in relation to Stock’s case – the largest fine ever given to a university.
Sally and Nigel Rowe previously raised concerns after their sons’ Church of England school warned that pupils could be labelled “transphobic” for questioning another child’s gender identity.
The Rowes claimed they received a letter stating children could face this label for showing “an inability to believe a transgender person is actually a ‘real’ female or male.”
