In a shocking incident, a school in Britain has allowed a child to officially identify himself as a wolf, as per a report by The Daily Mail.

According to the report, the secondary school pupil is believed to suffer from "species dysphoria", which is a condition in which someone claims that a different species has taken over their body. The school teachers have also extended their support to the claim of the youngster.

This seems to be a common trend in Britain where various schoolchildren are believed to be taking over the personalities of creatures like foxes, dragons, birds, snakes, sharks and even dinosaurs.

Speaking about the condition with The Daily Mail, clinical neuropsychologist Dr Tommy MacKay said, "There is no such condition in science as 'species dysphoria'. It's not surprising that we are seeing this in an age when many people want to identify as something other than they are."&nbsp;

"Now we have a council which appears to accept at face value that a child identifies as a wolf, rather than being told to snap out of it and get to grips with themselves, which would be the common-sense approach," he added.

<h2>Children join groups like 'furries' and identify themselves with 'animal persona'</h2>

The official documents reveal&nbsp;how a school in Scotland, in the first-known case, has recognised that a student is identifying himself as an animal.

According to the local authority, the student&nbsp;belonged to a group known as "furries" and identified himself with "animal persona".&nbsp;

The council stated that it offered "personal support" and "more specific support" from a "wellbeing worker", which included help with learning and counselling, and added, "There is very little specific guidance on species dysphoria."

The council explained that it followed Scottish government guidance called Getting It Right For Every Child (Girfec) and they used the "wellbeing wheel" to support students irrespective of the challenges.

Speaking about the issue, Conservative MSP Meghan Gallacher said, "Teachers who are already under significant pressure due to SNP cuts should not feel like they have to tiptoe around issues in the classroom."

"With all the other challenges facing schools, ministers should ensure that teachers feel confident that they can take a common-sense approach when these situations occur," they added.

According to the report, there is no guidance to formulate any plans to specifically support people who have claimed to suffer from species dysphoria.

Shocking! British school allows a child to identify himself as a wolf. Here's why

A new study has found that anti-Hindu hate is quite prevalent in British schools. The report titled 'Anti-Hindu Hate in Schools' stands out at the time when a Hindu, Rishi Sunak, is the prime minister of the country.&nbsp;

UK-based counter-terrorism think-tank Henry Jackson Society released a report on the study on Wednesday (April 19). It stated that 51 per cent of Hindu parents surveyed reported that their child had suffered anti-Hindu hate at school.&nbsp;

Teaching Hinduism was reported by some participants of the study as fostering religious discrimination towards Hindu pupils.&nbsp;

It mentioned that incidents such as Hindu pupils being bullied to convert to Islam, beef being thrown at another student, etc are among some examples that have been recorded and were faced by Hindu students.&nbsp;

The survey, which covered&nbsp;988 Hindu parents and more than 1,000 schools around the country, concluded, "This report highlights the prevalence of discrimination against Hindus in British schools, with 51 per cent of Hindu parents surveyed reporting that their child has suffered anti-Hindu hate at school."&nbsp;
