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. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...BT-parade.html top comment: Good luck to her, I hope she wins |

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
