LGBT protest at school

Sometimes I wish I wasn't a Libran. It gets wearing seeing both sides of arguments. Sigh.

Literally now on LBC parents are withdrawing their children!

That’s the worst possible outcome for those children’s future.

Oh GoneGirl me too it’s exhausting isn’t it! This Capricorn old goat is knackered!

I even see both sides of Brexit!

Well telling people what many would consider lies - that males are women, mothers and lesbians - and that female and belief protected characteristics aren't as important as LGBTQ+ protected characteristics. Mr Moffat hasn't created the best strategy to create no outsiders and convince Muslims that there is no bad intent by him and his fellow queer theory members of LGBTQ+ so far.

And will those withdrawn children go to muslim only faith schools now? That can't be good. I don't think it's worth it.

DoesAnyoneKnow I think you may be right about Mr Moffat.

Yes Gonegirl I guess they would and that’s sad.

DoesAnyoneKnow

You intrigue me! I can usually picture posters but I can’t picture you!

Oh another thread

Yes mycat it’s a bit of a problem isn’t it? There’s a lot of huffing and puffing around isn’t there? And intimidation and stirring up. I think I’d call the parents bluff and then see what really happens re the children being taken out of school long term. Poor children - imagine being the child of a fundamentalist ( of any religion). IMO it’s a form of child abuse

Moffat has just made himself unemployed if the children have been pulled out of school, left them with reduced life chances and created community tension, what a legacy.

Those children have got reduced life chances anyway

No! they mustn't have! and it's certainly not true. At our local grammar school a huge percentage of the lads coming out of school these days look as though they might be from muslim backgrounds. They have a good work, and family, ethic.

Have you watched 19 kids and counting? If not look on u tube.

Had Moffat respected all nine protected characteristics equally, not taught queer theory as a belief rather than fact, I wonder if there would have been a different outcome?

* DoesAnyoneKnow* Mr moffat wrote the books. They will be used in all primary schools .

GG Will they be used in all primary schools?
Mycat I know of the family. I better not say any more as do not want to derail this thread.

Sorry every time you say ‘queer theory! I think of ‘are you being served and ‘I’m free’

Sorry

I don't actually know.

Just wondering why Jess Phillips was at Anderton Park School. I believe it is in Mosely which is not her constituency of Yardley.

Though I suppose that is irrelevant.

I believe Jess Phillips is genuine in her interests. I also believe Jess enjoys press coverage and has leadership ambitions within the Labour party, that can be aided by the community she showed public support to outside the school.

The local labour MP just been in LBC talking to Ian dale. He supports the parents.

Dale furiously accused him of cynically keeping Muslim votes.

maryeliza yes, you’ve reminded me of Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit

These topics should be taught in schools.

I have one son who is gay, and he lives with his civil partner and their adopted little boy. On the way to school one morning, our grandson was asked by another child why he hasn’t got a mummy. Our grandson didn’t answer, but became very clingy. The answer he has been taught is ‘I do have a mummy but she couldn’t look after me, so I live with my.........’ This why these subjects must be taught about and discussed at a very early age. Every child has the right to have his or her family situation accepted and included. Every child has the right to feel normal, and his/her family situation totally accepted. With these lessons, hopefully every child will feel included rather different.

Parents die, parents get divorced and as you say some children are in the state care system or are adopted.

This is a separate issue to teaching queer theory to small children that will often believe in the tooth fairy and Father Christmas.
