‘Gender-neutral’ Swedish preschools teach boys to wear dresses
Many government-funded Swedish preschools are “gender-neutral” and teach youngsters to reject their natural inclinations toward masculine or feminine activities, instead requiring them to do activities usually associated with the opposite sex.
“A preschool’s approach to gender has now become a common question before enrollment,” the New York Times reported in a profile of these schools. Swedish teachers “are doing what they can to deconstruct” gender.
Since 1998, state curriculum has required teachers to “counteract traditional gender roles and gender patterns.”
