By 2021, schools in the country will include courses on "inclusion" and "history" of the LGBTQ "movement" in their curricula.
[This is a translation of a piece published by the German edition of iFamNews – Ed.]
In many Western countries LGBTQ groups celebrate June as “Pride Month.” This gives rise to more aggressive rhetoric, propaganda and initiatives by LGBTQ lobby groups. England is not spared from these escapades.
Although the “joy” of “sexual diversity” was buffered due to coronavirus-related restrictions, the LGBTQ lobby in Great Britain can still celebrate an ill-fated victory. Scotland will be the first nation in the world to include dedicated school courses on LGBTQ history in their curricula.
In November 2018 Scottish ministers adopted a proposal to adopt “LGBT inclusion” into school curricula to ideologically indoctrinate young children and teens. All pupils in public schools will receive equality and identity education that includes LGBT content, as reported by EdinburghLive.
“I am very pleased to report that we are the first country in the world to include LGBTI education in our curriculum,” said Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister John Swinney, adding: “Scotland is already considered one of the most advanced countries in Europe for LGBTI equality.”
School lessons will be offered for different age groups and will address cross-curricular issues such as “homophobia,” “bi-phobia” and “trans-phobia,” as well as promoting “awareness” towards members of LGBTQ groups.

21 Jul: news.com.au: Sydney Catholic school apologises for quiz telling students ‘only white people can be racist’
A Sydney high school has apologised for a racism questionnaire given to students, after this “incorrect” answer sparked outrage among parents.
by Frank Chung
EXCLUSIVE: A Sydney Catholic school has apologised for providing a questionnaire to students that suggested only white people can be racist.
Christian Brothers’ High School Lewisham says the survey, which was part of a lesson on “Celebrating Diversity”, does not reflect the school’s official position and has now been removed from the online teaching portal.
News.com.au understands a number of parents were furious at the quiz, in which students were marked incorrect if they answered “yes” to the question, “Can non-white people be racist?”
“I can confirm that it is not the position of Christian Brothers’ High School Lewisham that only white people can be racist and that the snapshot you have provided is not from an authorised school publication,” Acting Principal Lucie Farrugia said in an email.
“Our school is firmly founded on four touchstones, one of which is an inclusive community for all.”
It’s understood parents also expressed concern that students at the $7000-a-year inner-west private school were encouraged to kneel to show support for Black Lives Matter last month, at the height of worldwide protests, riots and looting sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.
Staff and students were invited to join the lunchtime “kneel-in” held on Friday, June 12, which lasted for four minutes and 32 seconds, to represent the 432 Indigenous deaths in custody since 1991.
The claim that only white people can be racist stems from sociologist Patricia Bidol, who in the 1970s proposed that racism requires “prejudice plus institutional power”.
That idea has resurfaced amid the global protests – last month, Merriam-Webster dictionary agreed to revise its definition of “racism” after a campaign by 22-year-old university graduate Kennedy Mitchum, who complained that people were using the existing definition to argue with her online...
Ms Farrugia said the teacher who sourced the list “unfortunately ... did not realise there was a right or wrong answer as he assumed they were just discussion points and is deeply apologetic that it has been taken in this way”.
“We have now removed the link from the Google Classroom as the answers are not aligned to our school’s touchstones and values in any way,” she said.
Ms Farrugia said the June 12 “kneel-in” was organised by students and approved by the school as it was consistent with its “justice and solidarity” touchstone, which “calls us to stand in solidarity with those who are marginalised”.
“All students and staff were invited to join, however, the activity was completely voluntary,” she said...
It’s not the first time parents at the school have raised concerns about teaching practices.
In 2016, The Daily Mail reported that parents were left fuming after discovering a history and geography teacher at the school had been reading excerpts from the Koran before class, in what the school’s principal said was “supposed to be an academic exercise”.
“Unfortunately, due to the timing of the exercise being with the normal beginning of (Catholic) lesson prayer, some confusion did exist,” Brother Paul Conn told the publication at the time.

Lol!
Contrary to how its spun, this isn’t at all good on any level.
There was a time when l was proud of my Scottish heritage. That ship sailed and sunk. It is an embarrassment now.
They can scarcely comprehend how glad we are that our ancestors left. First the Sassenach (the English), then Labour and the EU. Now inmates from an insane asylum running things and pushing Scotland towards Hell on Earth. Thank God (and the Founders) for our written Constitution and an abundance of ammunition in the hands of American citizens.
I bet JOHN KNOX would not approve.

How would you like to be a social studies teacher forced to teach such crap? I see private schools, charter schools, and home-schooling getting large gains in Scotland’s future.
Well my grandfather was from Scotland and I guarantee he would‘be livid over this.
I am descended from the Clan McFie Which was originally Clan Mcduffie. My Mother was a McDuffie maiden name;
My Nephew paid for me To have a DNA test done. I thought it would be 80% Scottish But it turned out to be 60 percent English, Welsh, Brittany, and Normandy. 35% Scotch and Irish and 5% Norway.
At least it is 100% NW Europe.
The best Scots were cleared out during the late 1700's and early 1800's. These were the resourceful ones who were trouble to the Crown. The docile ones who were allowed to remain evolved into today's liberals and perverts.
Not really first since Commifornia at least also has this requirement for antiheterosexual brainwashing.
I’ve always been proud of my Irish ancestry- until the last couple to five years. The isles have gone mad - count our blessings that we’ve been spared.
Why are sheep left out of the curriculum?
Homosexuality and promiscuity should NOT be encouraged or celebrated
