'A group of 19 boys have been suspended at a Co Antrim school with parents making an official complaint about the principal's actions on "toxic masculinity" concerns.

An official complaint has now been made to the school's board of governors by most of the parents on the disciplinary actions of the principal who suspended the students following an alleged assembly incident on January 8.

The matters have now come to light as the Education Authority has become involved in what has been claimed as long running allegations of "intimidation" of female teachers by male Year 11 students, aged 14 to 15.

The parent said: "I would implore the Board of Governors to take this matter extremely seriously. I would be interested to know how many young people have been suspended for violence and bullying at the school in comparison to the 19 suspensions last Thursday, could this be disproportionate?

"I am disgusted to hear her terminology such as “masculine toxicity” with my son’s name beside it. Anyone who knows my son, knows he is the most lovable, kind natured, humble young person with the utmost respect to all. Some of these boys have never even had a detention."'
