Article here. Excerpt:

'Male educators will reportedly no longer be involved in changing nappies or toileting duties at a string of Victorian childcare centres.

Inspire Early Learning – which operates 16 childcare centres in the state – sent a letter to parents on Friday announcing the changes, as per 7News.

Chief curriculum and quality officer Eleinna Anderson told families the changes were to ensure they remained “sensitive and responsive to family needs”, and that male staff would still play a “vital role” in activities and classroom preparation among other duties.'

It seems most cases of boys getting sexually used by teachers occurs with female teachers. Is anyone suggesting female teachers be banned from teaching male students?

The totally sexist stupidity if this ban is mind numbing. Following the logic of this early childcare ban, should male doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, counsellors, etc, all be restricted from working with young children? How would that sound?
