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homosexuality as part of a programme to challenge homophobia has stopped the lessons after hundreds of children were withdrawn by parents in protest.
I'd just like to know where the Anti-Fascist protest are now? Imagine if a bunch of christian parents said no more halal meat they would be branded racist. It has to work both ways.
I am sick of this government forcing parents hands to the way we bring up and teach our children if my son wasn't 12 I would pull him out of school aswell 5 and 6years old is way 2 young to know how deep sex goes nevermind transgender. Let them be kids and wait a few more years
Looks like the Asian community is taking the lead here, well done to all of you, let get rid of these rediculous school regulations. Children and debauchery doesn't mix, those councillors are mad.
This is absolutely wrong and disgusting. The LGBT children will be feeling worse about themselves, what does it teach them? Are we really going to let Homophobia come out on top here?
ParisPasRose On s'en fout ils se cassent dans j-23... 🤣 make Britain great again lol.
Shouldn’t take away children’s innocence. Nasty pervs
Good! That’s the best news I’ve heard all day.
Thank goodness! We didn’t want to offend the Muslims anymore then they are in this safe free country.
Absolutely FfffFFFfFfffAaaAaaaHhhhhBbbbbUlllLlllLloOOoooUuuuUuusSsSsssss!
They better go where they came from No hate should be allowed here ✌🏻
As if Brexit wasn't enough.
Just because you don't want them to learn something this is not the same as they shouldn't. It shocks me how many adults need to grow up. parentsaretheproblem
I will withdraw my child from any school who's talking about ANY kind of sex when they are so young. Until they start asking questions themselves I don't want it imposed on them. Stop calling people homophobes and bigots because its got stale a long time ago. Love to LGBTQ people
Parents protest 😂 You mean parents from an idealogy belonging in the dark ages...
So a minority that screams discrimination and lack of understanding based on race/ religion is now discriminating against another minority based on sexuality. Go figure 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Excellent! Finally enough pressure and you can stop them forcing you to accept all this gender bullshit. All the nuts people just want attention. Btw being gay or disoriented in the mind is a disease and can be cured. Contact me for help, if you want to be normal.
Is no one going to mention that this school is 99% percent Muslim, and didn’t want it being taught cause it conflicted with their foreign beliefs.
Quick to judge Guardian & hatred merchants get it wrong again!! The school denies withdrawal !! LGBT
In 2019 this shit is ridiculous. LGBTQ+ awareness is not teaching young kids about sex, the difference is huge. Unfortunately people can't seem to look past thr sexual part of gay relationships, and automatically assume that that is what the kids are being taught about. It isn't
Except the haven’t
MunroeBergdorf You wanted intersectionality? Here it is, enjoy eating your own
Good riddance, we shouldn't allow our kids to be brainwashed
So we've caved into homophobes hiding behind a backward 1500 year old ideology?
Finally, parents with guts!
I think the parents should've been forced to take the class. That's stupid that the school stopped teaching something that was effectively battling intolerance thru proper education. Parents have a choice... but sometimes they don't and this should've been one of those times.
Welldone
And what's that going to solve? Hiding children from a community that is constantly growing It annoys me that parents think they can hide their children from this...
News flash: young kids are impressionable. Shit like this is destructive in the lives of LGBT children. You are setting an atrocious president and will live to regret it. Especially when it’s suddenly your child that has to deal with the effects of oppression like this.
MunroeBergdorf Wrong headline
Good on da Muslims
What is it with Muslims regarding gays?
OwenJones84 Labour Birmingham Muslim councillors claim guardian journalist encouraged a tiny group of Muslim parents opposed LGBT lessons for a photo backing story! Lab V Council school never stop LGBT lessons & was a setup by jewish researcher at Guardian to damage Corbyn!
Homophobic behaviour by Muslim parents, why isn't the media calling them out on this and backing the School & the LGBT community? How does this help any children that may be gay?
But what about the children with two mummies or two daddies? What about the boy, struggling, self harming, who needs help when parts of his body develop? What about the girl who just doesn’t feel the way her friends do about boys? It’s not just about acceptance. But it helps.
I wonder what Owen Jones has to say.
Hahaha Muslims kids go to these schools, they're going to be confused to fack now. Feel sorry for all you parents out there.
Where's the white kids...?
You now have to ban it for all... You know.. equality... PC.. etc...
Great news. Good for them. Freedom of choice.
Britain is becoming less tolerant to religious groups when they have ignorance and bigotry that compels people to have such views. I was taught be kind, be respectful and be nice. Enjoy it while it lasts because Britain ain’t putting up with this abhorrent behaviour much longer
This is bullshit every other part of the UK seems to welcome the lgbt community with open arms it seems birmingham is all a big gang community and all they welcome is firearms
The parents need to check themselves. Equality and fair treatment comes from edication. Good on the school for trying to tackle the issue of inequality with education. These types of parents are the reason there are so many hateful people about
this is how homophobia is reinforced, who knows what the parents will be telling their children why they are staying home today, it means the lgb/t children will now feel isolated by their parent and the straight ones will think it's ok to disrespect gay people.
“stop exploiting children’s innocence”, and “education not indoctrination”. - Said by people who force their religion on children 🤔
People should have a choice on what their kids study and if these parents wants their kids to study something that actually allows them to accomplish in life, then they deserve that.
jo_maybe We know manchester and london are better anyway
I'm still confused why this is a job for a school and not the parents. Parents teach family stuff, schools teach times tables.
These are backward, archaic parents, urgently need to go back to school themselves.
I agree Children go to school to learn and be educated .For the rest they find out themselves or ask family. This was just going too far .
Ah, the leftists are starting to realise that Islam and liberalism don’t mix. This should be fun
HobbestOfGoblin Anything that teaches kids they may have been 'born in the wrong body' if they like the wrong toys needs stopping, but by piggy backing the trans ideology onto LGB Parents can be shamed as 'homophobic'.
This is FAR too early for these young minds. They have enough inputs to be dealing with, without this sledgehammer approach. The respect necessary to function in modern society can be drip fed to them, with the same positive results.
I wonder who this would be? The ratchet is turning.
disgusting
wow. Imagine being an LGBTQ+ child and being made to feel ashamed of who you are. The world's got enough problems without parents like this 👏🙄
Offending foreigners again 😡
this makes me sick 🤢
Is that man their teacher? Don't remember the last time I saw a white male teacher in my kids primary school!!!
Best news I've heard all day.
Ed Buck is killing gay black men how about LGBT focus on getting him arrested
Even if i dont agree 100% with the lgtb education, i will give them a chance to do it for another hand i wonder where are this families from and which religion..
I find older people just don't understand about the different genders and can't discuss this subject at home.
C O W A R D S

It’s like why do they want kids gay so bad
What can you be teaching them at school
I feel the children should be taught about LGBT+ issues when they are younger, or just that it is acceptable and completely fine to have two parents who are the same gender.
R the Tories sneaking in section28 again? GTTO JC4PM
More Parents need to be involved into what the schools are teaching. Esp state schools. Bringing in acts such as Prevent as making life Harder for the Average Muslim families. As it's there to target our faith. Designed by people who are against Islam openly.
Why the hell are people getting angry over this? You learn about sex when you're older and you have To learn HOW to do it? Do kids have to learn about a guy slobbering over the same sex? And can you LEARN how to feel like a different gender and have gender dysphoria? I think not
What sort of knuckle draggers would protest to have these lessons stopped
Regressive left vs regressive left 🍿💅👀🍿
Where is the outrage from the left. If this was a Christian school they would demand the teachers be sacked. Ofsted would take action
outlaw religion
Great parents..
the reason why most young people get bullied for being a part of the LGBT+ community is because other young people grew up thinking it was unusual because they were never taught it at an early age. do you really think a four year old is gonna be born homophobic
Talk about clickbait headline. Where are you journalistic standards from? The daily mail?
hi yeah this is disgusting
Why does a child young as 4 need to know about 2 blokes liking each other
Backpedaling into ignorance. Hopefully the kids will grow up to be nice tolerant people in spite of their parent's fuckwittery.
So they have bowed down to the parents from a certain section of society yet again
My opinion Muslims are the most ignorant community out there offended by everything , wtf is wrong if schools wanna teach about LGBT , there is nothing wrong with that , we all know how BIGGOTTED the Muslims are on GAYS ....
Why haven't you asked them why such young girls are being veiled?
what the fffuuck
i feel so bad for those kids who are going to now think that its wrong for them to be in the lgbt seeing as their parents think its wrong for them to be educated about it.
Sounds like their parents need teaching not them!
And rightly so. This muck should not be taught at primary schools.
I'm sure OwenJones84 has all the answers.
At home schooling ppl !!! Don’t trust the public to teach your children. Intrusive & unacceptable methods to brain cancer ash your child to what is & is not okay in this world THAT IS THE PARENTS JOB!!
I am so sick of this being false feeding on children. Let them learn on subjects that will help them on in life.
Goes to show how different cultures unfortunately sometimes can’t get along. Foreign ideologies don’t fit into the western world, and vice versa.
When you believe in something, your belief is confidence. Anything challenges it , and your worst fears become reality. For Islam and church based Christianity two things are most dangerous. Satanic verses , and a group begging to be free.
The school says that the lessons have not stopped
It better not! religion does not dictate what is taught Muslims dont not have the right to dictate Atheism
I would take my kid out of class too. Its ridiculous to even think that these kind of lessons are a reality these days. Humans are not born LGBT, they become it due to their thinking and people they interact with. Nothing to do with biological body, everything to do with the mind
This is a return to the repression of section28, and we cannot let it stand.
It's never too early for children to know that some families have two mummies/two daddies! It doesn't have to be in separate lessons about 'equality' – whenever you're told about a heteronormative family, you can be told about other types of family. LGBT LGBTQ UKeducation
Did anyone bother to ask the children that they thought?
Bloody LGBT islamophobes
That’s disappointing. A school trying to overcome ignorance has been overcome BY ignorance. Maybe parents should just allow schools to teach and keep their sticky beaks out. 🙄
I feel for the lgbt children who will now be feeling even more ashamed of themselves. Do people not realise that lgb/t people already are at a higher risk for suicide Maybe this could be lower if they were ACCEPTED at a younger age.
schools need to teach respect for different lifestyles, moreso when you disagree with others, but you can't 'force' children to accept that all relationships are equally good if this is against their (parental) religious beliefs.
'A primary school that taught pupils about homosexuality as part of a programme to challenge homophobia has [caved to homophobia]'
🤦🏻♀️
Very soon RE too?
Ah the joys of polarised religion, what next FGM, Honour killings, Anti-Semitism, No wait.
Hardly a lesson in LGBT though was it? More a diversity awareness.
we need compulsory balanced, child centred sex & relationship education for all school students - not mob rule over the curriculum. What next? Parents protesting about quadratic equations? nohierarchyofhate
Well done.
