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.”

do you agree this should not be part of primary schools?[/QUOTE]

The guy wearing the tee shirt with gay fu**ing pride plastered all over it doesn’t make it seem very age appropriate. 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.

That is a stock photo of one of many thousands of pride marches

Exactly

How does it help matters by having the F word on a t-shirt .

This whole bells and loud whistles approach is just scaring people away .

Yes, because that photo of a Pride parade, in which no children are visible, and an American flag is, was clearly taken at an event at a London primary school

I swear some people don't actually think before they react and jump to conclusions on here sometimes

Well it was a bad example photo to use .

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 ?!

Right so because one or two uneducated parents don't want it to happen that means none can attend?

So would people rather that kids never know that homosexuality exists until they're at secondary school? Pretend that gay people are not a part of society? School is meant to teach kids about the world around them and making them aware of the lgbt community is a part of that and the pride aspect conveys a positive message so that they won't then find it weird or uncomfortable when they get older
