You’re an exception in black London though and you know it.

I couldn’t have less of a problem with gay people myself but facts are facts as far as cultures and tolerance go.

This is going two steps further but would it be a good idea to showcase pride at a staunch Muslim school?

Agree, let them keep their child innocence as long as possible

ok but I'm still not getting why a bunch of homophobes should be aloud to dictate what is taught at our schools.

also muslim schools here are private schools so I can see why parents input would matter more.

It just proves what many have said for some time - some people from different cultures expect preferential treatment and that is not what multiculturalism is supposed to be about.

I thought this tbh.

Would there be a gay pride event in a Muslim primary school?

If not then why do it in a black primary school,Christian primary school or any other primary school?
Not very consistent

Some have been exposed, some haven’t. A school packed with Nigerian kids doesn’t need pride lectures and those parents would sooner go straight to Hell than sign their little kids up for something like that. Shocking as that night sound to a guy like you.

I’m not a guy - and I would be no more happy about certain subjects being shoved down my 5 year olds throat than you say many a black parent would be. No special treatment for being black that’s all I am saying.

I know we like to pretend we’re the same but that’s not true. You might want to step out of your idealistic bubble and visit Brixton for the day. Have a nice picnic there an all.

"a bunch of homophobes"

showing true colours here, you have no idea the reasons why parents objected but here you are calling ALL of them homophbes?


wow

lmaoo I was speaking on Redway's theory that it was because of the homophobia in back london that so many parents were against it. nice try though

Crimson Dynamo 03-07-2018 10:06 AM

So to be clear Redway what is your point here:

that black London people hate gays a lot more than the indigenous white majority ?

It could be argued that if as you say black culture is more homophobic than white culture it should have MORE enforced exposure to such issues to bring it to the same level.

South London’s rough as it gets. It’s a black majority school. The majority wouldn’t sign their kids not up to high school age for something they wouldn’t want for their kids at any age.

Like I say it’s not something that would be welcomed at a black school.

It would take a third world war and 3000 years of enforced exposure to bring some communities on a similar footing about things like this. You can’t force it on them.

All this would be irrelevant if it was a majority white school somewhere up north but we’re taking Croydon. Come on. You can sit there and question it but on a practical level be real about it.
