But Parkfield Community School in Saltley defends programme which challenges homophobia in primary schools
A group of angry mums have launched a protest and petition against their school for introducing a curriculum supporting homosexuality.
Andrew Moffat MBE, assistant headteacher at Parkfield Community School in Saltley, has been criticised by parents for piloting No Outsiders - a programme run alongside sex and relationship education (SRE) lessons.
Its ethos promotes LGBT equality and challenges homophobia in primary schools.
Books now being read by pupils at Parkfield Community School include Mommy, Mama and Me and King & King - stories about same-sex relationships and marriages.
But Mr Moffat and the No Outsiders programme have come under fire from some Muslim parents who condemn such teachings, as homosexuality is strictly forbidden in Islam.
Mr Moffat, who is openly gay, and the school have defended the programme, which they said had been fully explained to parents. They added: "No Outsiders allows us to raise awareness of these differences so that children are able to tolerate and accept differences in our society."

You mean the Bible that was written hundreds of years before Islam was invented?
Yep, that’s the one, of course I consider Islam a false belief but they have the gay issue right.
Gay sex is rampant in Muslim countries ...and sex with boys.
Do you know that for a fact? or is it just religious bias, regardless the comments regarding the thread ignores the fact that gay marriage is an abomination and instead attacks the ones who believes in God’s laws.
