A school in Scotland is allowing a pupil to identify as a wolf:
From the article:
"This case emerges against a backdrop of reports that an increasing number of children are choosing to embody animal personas, with some kids apparently adopting identities such as foxes, dragons, birds, snakes, sharks, and dinosaurs."
It's almost like children have wild imaginations or something!
At least there was one voice of reason:
Dunbartonshire-based clinical neuropsychologist Dr Tommy MacKay contests the validity of this condition, stating there is "no such condition".
He elaborated: "It's not surprising we are seeing this in an age when many people want to identify as something other than who they are. 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, which would be the common sense approach."
