Exclamation Mother sues her 4 year old son's school for making him take part in LGBT parade'

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.

Do they really think bullying and forcing parents to make their kids take part in LGBT parades ... will be a good way to show acceptance??????!!!. What planet are these schools and teachers on . Shoving ideology will just make people push back further. Some families are more religious or conservative, or maybe they just don't want their kids taking part as it's not part of the curriculum . I hope she wins aswell .

This should NOT be compulsory to take part in , you're supposed to have rights to refuse it . We really have gone backwards ... and as i keep saying this is NOT progressive in anyway, and just does more damage .

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 .

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

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.

And you think somehow forcing LGBT ideology on her kid will help matters??? . You're never going to agree with everyone, there's plenty of stuff we all disagree on in life . But you can't go around dictating people.... whilst trying to indoctrinate aswell .

Oh do be quiet. The woman is an ignorant homophobe. A born again Christian. Wouldn’t be so bad if she was actually religious. She’s made a choice to be religious.

Forcing LGBT ideologies? Are you for real? It isn’t something you can push onto anyone
I think anything that brings children up to be accepting of all life’s different types of people and unique families is what’s the main goal. Anyone that isn’t stupid can see that.

Like I said, the woman is an ignorant homophobe using religion to back up her appalling views.

You never see these people protesting that children be sheltered from heterosexual relationships, you have to wonder what makes them think learning of homosexuality is any different.

The argument that they'll make is that if you expose the child to interacting with LGBT people, then it increases the likelihood of the child being more accepting of gay people or Bisexuals when they're older, and again will likely interact with the LGBTQ community at some point in their life.

I can definitely see where the School is coming from tbf, it's kinda similar to when I was at School in Birmingham and they would have us all from all sorts of different backgrounds so that we'd be more accepting of each other, admittedly because we were all kids back then we all said things that we should never have said (myself included) but I honestly feel that the exposure to different races, Religions and other factors did help me be more accepting of other types of people as I've got older, and I will presume the same for others in my class at the time as well that they grew from the experience of a more multi-cultural School.

I'm thinking that kind of logic is what Schools are going with when they're having kids interact with Drag Queens and attending an LGBTQ parade, it's to try and stop children from either being scared of this particular group, and it's probably also to stop them from repressing their sexuality if they turn out to be Gay when they're older.

I still feel that this kind of thing could wait until the high school phase

hang on a minute. 4 years old means that the child is at nursery school, probably privately run, outside of the education system. So this story is just alarmist nonsense. A nursery school can't demand anything of a parent

At my son's primary school, most activities like this were non compulsary....same with religious celebrations. He had a Jehovah's witness in his class who was excused from all Christmas and Easter related activities. I've not read the article but does it give reasons why the child was not guven permission to be excused from this. Pkus at 4, surely you'd just keep them at home rather than go through the the arse ache of suing?

I'm sure the Pride event was just a fun day....it won't have been highly sexualised either

Sounds like a fuss about nothing to me
