AN SNP MSP has come to the defence of a primary school after it faced criticism for asking pupils to fill out a survey which included questions about gender and sexuality.
Emma Roddick MSP said that the survey issued at Merkinch Primary in Inverness – which asked pupils whether they identified as gay or transgender – would help open up conversations and “allow space for acceptance” of children and parents who are LGBT+.
A photograph of the survey was posted onto social media by Scottish Family Party member Niall Fraser, who claimed that Scottish schools were acting as “rainbow indoctrination camps”.
