A Birmingham primary school that suspended lessons about LGBT rights following protests by parents should resume them, the former head of the schools watchdog has said. “Parents of pupils at Parkfield community school in Saltley have staged weekly protests over the lessons, which they claim promote gay and transgender lifestyles. Earlier this month, hundreds of mainly Muslim children, aged between four and 11, were withdrawn from the school for the day.” Last edited by TomC; 25-03-2019 at 10:07 PM. |

So glad this case is getting such recognition. There’s no place for this ignorance, bigotry and downright stupidity in this country

I'm 49. When I was at primary school I got taught maths and the usual stuff...sex came in at secondary school...but I did get me balls felt by a stranger in p6 or 4. So what's the point in distracting the education of kids with **** like this before they are at an age when it might actually effect them. |

I utterly despise the attitude that simply talking about gay people existing with children is seen as inappropriate. The school should tell those parents to **** off and reinstate the lessons, any more absences on this issue should be fined. If bigots use religion as their excuse, tell them to go to a faith school instead. |

Cancelling the LGBT lessons was also appeasing a minority, one who it could be argued would be more in need of learning that LGBT people are just like everyone else.

Imo. ..it patronises them. And I find that humiliating and sad for the minorities that governments have to have rules and regulations that further separate them from the percieved norm...do you honestly think a person that's made thier mind up is suddenly going to change thier minds? Cause I don't! So from my view point.....it's a case of why point out a difference to a child when the child may not care if thier is a difference anyway? |

I don't see a need to teach the acceptence of gay people in the schools of the United Kingdom. ..unless something drastic has happened to our pupils since I was a kid then it should all be fine....or is this cause there are so many more children being brought up in the uk to believe that homosexuality or anything else that isn't seen as manly is a criminal offence punishable by being hurled from high story buildings?

What's the problem with telling kids that some families have same sex parents and others don't? That's literally all there is to it but teaching that to kids can save lives because it normalisses homsexuality and gives gay kids something that they have often gone without, a feeling of acceptance and security in who they are. There are no bad sides to this, the only people that think otherwise are people who take issue with homosexuality itself and refer to it as an 'agenda'.... |

The kids don't need patronised to this extent...little Johnny is still going to get bullied in the playground if he says he used to have a dad that's now demanding to be called mum...
All its doing is pointing out further things for school bullies to pick on someone for. Cause it makes that child feel like he or she can speak about it...the bully is always perched. |

To say, "it should be fine" as though there's no issue, when the big uproar from a bigoted older generation at this school proves it is still an issue in need of addressing. |

No, the bully is a bully due to his home life, perhaps beatings from older siblings or father's....girls thinking they are it in a gang perhaps..basically the come in all shapes and sizes...but this is primary school age...and there is only one or two bullies each year..and they will always be bullies. The bullied kid will be bullied by the bully because he or she is the only kid at school that has spoken up about his dad being mum or anything else that makes him stand out from the norm to the bully. They ain't helping **** imo. |

It’s about teaching kids that homophobia and discrimination is wrong, there is no way anyone with half a brain cell can object to that.
Do you realise how many gay teens consider or even commit suicide because of their sexuality because of the amount of **** they get from bullying? This aims to eradicate that. It shouldn’t even be up for discussion. Any parent objecting to this should be told that their child isn’t needed at the school if that is the attitude they want to install in them, because yes, it is the parents that will ultimately cement that in their child.

But it's not just about curing bullies. It's about making people who might otherwise see homosexuality as wrong or sinful realise there's nothing wrong with it. |

Well, no, because if the parent was the sort of person who would willingly take their child out of a school because said school is trying to teach their children that homophobia is wrong, that's on the parent.

This was the ex ofsted chief talking, not the current one.
Anyway, let's see how it plays out. It's a power struggle between equality and pandering to religious prejudice. I'd not hold my breath with tories in charge. Last edited by Twosugars; 26-03-2019 at 12:28 AM. |
