Engaged Mother sues her four-year-old son's school in first case of its kind in UK
for 'making him take part in LGBT parade'



Izzy Montagu, 38, said she was told by the headteacher of Heavers Farm
Primary School in South Norwood, southeast London, that her son could not
opt out of the event in June 2018.

The school sent a letter to parents on 19 June inviting them to partake in a
Pride march and 'celebrate the differences that make them and their family
special.'

A week later Mrs Montague contacted the school 'and asked for her son to be
excused attendance on 29 June as they were concerned of him being
involved of a public display of adherence to views which she did not accept.'


Mrs Montague's request was refused by the headteacher Ms Susan Papas so
the parent replied with a lengthy email on 13 July, Central London County
Court heard.



Mrs Montague, supported by the Christian Legal Centre, is suing the school
on the grounds of direct and indirect discrimination, victimisation and breach
of statutory duty under the Education Act 1996 and the Human Rights Act
1998.

It is the first time that a UK court will scrutinize the legality of imposing LGBT
ideology on primary schools.

Even more sad you support someone who opposes your daughters happiness.

I think these things should be structured into secondary school education when children can make their own decisions as to whether they want to take part.

Your comment is so short sighted ... i cannot even . What's worse is , you probably think it would be ok if parents remove their kids from R.E subject as they see it as "Religion being forced on them " or something. Surely people should have a right to not take part in something, and it's even more ridiculous with LGBT than R.E.... as at least R.E is an ACTUAL SCHOOL LESSON .

That was all your own words, don't try and think for me.

To be honest, it’s not really about supporting or being opposed to LGBT people and their rights. It’s about the freedom of 4-year-olds (who should barely even know what sexuality in any shade is about) not being restricted for the sake of a parade that doesn’t even concern 14-year-olds (not really), let alone actual little kids.

For as long as I went to school and all the kids in the family went through school, nativity plays were compulsory, if the doors are being opened to sue schools for things that parents don’t agree with it’s only going to be a slippery slope with how everything is being politicised these days, climate change? Science deniers. Cooking classes with meat? Vegans.

The Christian legal centre has been getting themselves involved in a lot of stuff lately to try and push their own agendas on the country, worrying

Only if you sent your kids to a Christian school they wouldn’t be compulsory in a Sikh school for example

Nearly every living person is a result of a heterosexual relationship. Most people are straight, or at least on the straighter end of the Kinsey scale.

Teaching acceptance is fine. For younger children, the best venues for this would be stuff like reading stories where a character has two dads or two mums. Or maybe using gay celebrities as an example. But drag and Pride parades are unnecessary for this, as the message gets buried in the spectacle and it carries the risk of exposing them to (actual) inappropriate material.

Agree, there is no need for 4 years olds to be involved in a make believe Pride March, they are not proud of their sexuality, they dont have a sexuality at that age they are just kids

I half-agree with much of what you say generally but this ain’t on. If you say that then you’re essentially pitying a good four-fifths of black children worldwide because most black parents are still very anti-gay and low-key homophobic.

I despise all homophobia so yes.

So most black parents are terrible just because the unique cultural and religious values they align with don’t approve of homosexuality as a lifestyle? Got it.

Exactly
You can't force people to change their culture & views they've held all their lives.

Homosexuality isn’t a lifestyle so they hide behind religion. I feel immensely sorry for the children born to these people especially those who are gay themselves. Not quite sure what point your trying to make?

Should we accept homophobia because of someone’s religion?

[Glenn.]

Oh she’s the one that was on GMB and said being gay was a choice. I’m afraid someone that holds dangerous and stupid views like that does not deserve the time of day.
