A primary school was forced to hold an event celebrating Pride in private after a group of parents threatened to protest at a playground parade.
Heavers Farm Primary School had invited families by letter to watch the “Proud to be Me!” parade on campus. It said it wanted parents join in celebrating “the rainbow of things that make them and their family special”. However, the event was axed at the last minute on Friday after the headteacher received warnings a group of parents planned to hold a protest. “Some parents have taken exception to this. They feel the school is shoving LGBT issues down the kids’ throats. This takes us back decades.” Susan Papas, headteacher of the South Norwood school, told the Standard: “We thought we would celebrate Pride month so those children from LGBT families would feel included and to show the kids that children come from different families. “But some parents aren’t happy with the term LGBT and don’t want their children knowing about these terms or what they mean.” https://www.standard.co.uk/news/educ...-a3876841.html do you agree this should not be part of primary schools?

The very idea that it was scheduled in a Primary School is enraging. All the school staff who were complicit in this outrage should be sacked. All that this extreme B.S. is going to succeed in achieving is to gradually alienate once sympathetic people and undermine the progress which has been made over the past 60 years or so.

it’s a mad, mad world

i understand your point but i just don’t know if i like the idea of purposefully keeping them unaware of LGBT, especially because there are kids who have parents of the same sex

Find it so funny that the people who say sexuality shouldn’t be forced down children’s throats are probably the ones who say their kids are such “a ladies man” or “he’ll be fighting them off when he’s older the hypocrisy is hilarious

The whole thing is being shoved down parents’ and childrens’ throats too soon so hardly any surprise people react the way they do. Usual pushy left. Last edited by James; 02-07-2018 at 06:52 PM. |

I don't know about you, but I'd much rather primary school age kids were taught what being gay is rather than passively using it as an insult or an excuse to bully other kids, often being taught no better by their parents (source: someone who went to a primary school)
I don't find it a coincidence that this thread springs up the same day as a "favourite branch of Christianity?" thread, either |

This is blatantly homophobic.
We are exposed to heteronormative relationships from birth. |

Even if you disagree with it ,it's still the parents choice to allow or not allow their kids to be apart of it . I thought LGBT parades were for adults anyway ?! |
