You may not think it’s very politically correct and colour-blind (what we being colour-blind for in the first place?) to be saying all this, Glenn, but it’s the truth and you should know it.

I swear you have selective vision & hearing ,I literally said there's kids with different beliefs who will not take part in religious stuff or celebrations.

You’re talking about Catholic churches. Many kids find comfort in Assemblies of God and St Stephen’s and Sunday-school (and it’s not like St Stephen’s hasn’t christened some of the best people and most adorable babies) so you’re going to have to vex for Virgin Mary alone.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its chilling that an adult teacher (probably on strike today) could think that a "pride march" is suitable for small children

In fact its worrying

[Redway]

Trying to sue the school over that is absolutely stupid and O.T.T. (sorry, Izzy) but I ain’t here for 4-year-olds being forced to partake in a pride parade. That’s as ridiculous as the parent’s reaction.

[Liam-]

I want to know whether it was an actual ‘parade’ or not though or if it’s being exaggerated to whip up even more anger like these people tend to do a lot

this is being funded by the same legal team that encouraged that grieving mother to keep her dead son on life support long past the time he was brain dead. That should tell everyone all they need to know

Yep, agenda pushing rigorous cranks out to target anything they see as ‘immoral’

Okay? And I think anybody that hides behind religion to justify their bigotry are assholes, you’ve got this massive chip on your shoulder all of a sudden and I don’t know what you want me to say

Counsellors and teachers are there to educate and care for the children while they’re in school, if a child is having thoughts and feelings they don’t feel safe or comfortable sharing with their parents for whatever reason, then children should be told that they can open up to people they feel comfortable with, just sounds like you want children to suffer in silence to me

You're just twisting things , I never said a child should suffer in silence. And yes there is instances where children confide in teachers & counsellors ...as they can't speak to their parents, or they might be getting abused by their family etc. But that's not what I'm saying.

I'm talking about discussions about gender & sexuality, there seems to be this thing now where a teacher will know more about the kid than the parent themself...and that's wrong. Surely the teacher should encourage both parent & child to talk to eachother .

And if a child is uncomfortable talking to their parents or guardians about those things for whatever reason, whether it be abuse, or bigotry, then teachers and councillors they feel comfortable with are the next best options, if you don’t want them to be able to do that, then yes, you most certainly do want them to suffer in silence

Doctors and police are the next best option..not teachers.

When I was a kid .... there was good & bad teachers .But I tell you something , I'm glad I don't have kids if these are the types of teachers around today . I wouldn't be able to deal with this type of nonsense.

I made a thread about other internet sites and the title included discord..I think the thread was deleted because glenn and others couldnt help arguing and name calling each other in the thread.


Perhaps a mod can elaborate because I wasnt around when it kicked off.

I agree that she has her own cultural values that may differ to the average person that lives in the UK.

But ultimately she lives in the UK, so she does kind of have to accept that UK Schools aren't Homophobic.
