Birmingham School Stops LGBT Lessons After [Muslim] Parents Protest [UK]

Hundreds of children withdrawn from Parkfield community school for day

A primary school that taught pupils about homosexuality as part of a programme to challenge homophobia has stopped the lessons after hundreds of children were withdrawn by parents in protest.

Parkfield community school in Saltley, Birmingham, has been the scene of weekly protests over the lessons, which parents claim are promoting gay and transgender lifestyles.

In a letter to parents, the school said: “Up to the end of this term, we will not be delivering any No Outsiders lessons in our long-term year curriculum plan, as this half term has already been blocked for religious education (RE). Equality assemblies will continue as normal and our welcoming No Outsiders ethos will be there for all.”

On Friday about 600 Muslim children, aged between four and 11, were withdrawn from the school for the day, parents said. The school would not confirm the number.

The school made clear that it had never intended to continue the No Outsiders lessons this half term and confirmed that the lessons would resume only after a full consultation with every parent.

Last month, the Guardian reported that the assistant headteacher of the school was forced to defend the lessons after 400 predominantly Muslim parents signed a petition calling for them to be dropped from the curriculum.

Andrew Moffat, who was awarded an MBE for his work in equality education, said he was threatened and targeted via a leaflet campaign after the school piloted the No Outsiders programme. Its ethos is to promote LGBT equality and challenge homophobia in primary schools.

If Christians complained nothing would have been done. In fact they would be guilty of hate crimes.

Do we know that for sure? we might be wrong.

Maybe we should join the Muslims on this one issue?

“They jail christians for rejecting lgbt crap...They bow over for the godam muzzies.”

Perhaps because all the Christians do is whine about the policy, whereas they know Muslims will do a lot more than whine if they’re angry.

Sucks, but that’s the UK these days...and, I guess, the same goes for our Democrat party now.

Birmingham school administrators can ignore Christian objections, but, if ignored, Mohammedans will cut the heads off of Birmingham school administrators.

The Muslims know how to fight.

Christians know how to turn the other cheek, and they apparently have an inexhaustible number of cheeks to turn.

Had it been Christians objecting they would have been told to stuff it. Oh well on the good side the student will not be subjecting to perversion 101

I agree, maybe if the Christian’s were not so wishy washy they could do the same thing.

At any rate we need to join the muzzies instead of making it appear that they are wrong.

“now the only majority of a class of people that founded and dyed for our freedoms now have the least rights of anybody in our country”

It’s what happens when you’re unwilling to fight to protect your rights and interests.
