“Thatâ€™s right. They threatened the parents with jail if they did not force their kids to an entire month of totally subjective indoctrination and fictional history of homosexuality. And likely not a single discussion about the fact that every society on Earth historically believed that, if not a sin , homosexuality was deviant and wrong. As in a recent case in California, the school was careful not to tip the parents off about their academic surprise:”

You should probably look up the facts. It wasn’t until between 1300-1600 that homosexuality was even mentioned negatively in the bible. Most cultures have either had no opinion on it or even embraced it. Native American Tribes, Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and early Christianity all had certain aspects of homosexuality incorporated into the culture. If you want to quote bible verses, make sure you look at the early versions as well as the later ones.

Put this measure together with the failure of the ('freedom of speech' amendment in the House of Commons, and its easy to see the repressiveness of British society today. Parents have the primary responsibility for the care and education of their children. This right is not bestowed by, nor can it be taken away by, the government. It is a universal right, and it trumps the 'right' of homosexuals to be affirmed in their behaviour.

I also dont want that one teacher that makes the mistake of saying something like “gays are sick” or something else that is based on their opinion. I dont want a teacher to taint my sons mind to thinking something is wrong with gay people. As i said as a child of a gay parent… i know what it is like to question your life and home life because people in this world want to open their mouth on a subject they know nothing about.

i agree parents should have another option to move there child to another class if uncomfortable with what is being taught. but in this case it is that the class is about homosexuals. I feel yes that there is a time and a place to bring the talk of homosexuality up but I should be the one to do that . Now i do think that the equality of all people including homosexuals should be taught but i dont think that a whole class should be based on the life of homosexuality because I dont know what they are teaching. I want to know that my child is learning that homosexuals are people and they have rights and deserve to be able to have children and adopt and be married, but i dont want someone telling my child that what makes them gay is they sleep with the same sex. they should be told that there are men that want a man as there life mate, that they find love from another man that they didnt find with women. and that is all a child should know until they are older. so yes this story is about homosexuality, and what our children should and shouldn’t learn in school.

But i disagree with you when you say that the important part of this story is that the parents are being jailed. the important part about this story is the children. And there are people viewing this saying they should be jailed and there are people saying they shouldn’t. I think it all depends on what their teaching.

Hi Rabbit,

Thanks for your comment.

I believe the crux of the matter is not about homosexuality but the fact that UK schools have the right to jail parents when the parents disagree with the subject matter being taught and decide they do not want their children in that particular class.

Public schools were supposed to be set up to serve the pubic, not stick them in jail if the public disagrees on what is being taught. The public would be well served to remember that it is through taxes that these bureaucrats are paid their salaries and that what the public “giveth”, they can also “take away”.

What is happening in the UK is the question of “ownership” of children. The UK bureaucrats are behaving as if they “own” or have the right to do whatever they want with kids while they are at school.

This article is not lying here is a web link http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1160067/Parents-face-court-action-removing-children-gay-history-lessons.html

As much as I think that gay relation should be talked about and gay rights need to change…. I have to say as a mother and a child of a loving gay parent I dont think that it is right to bring children into this fight in this way. What that school did is not fair. and as much as we dont like it parents should have the right to choose what their children are subjected to. Now dont get me wrong my 3 year old spend a lot of time with he’s gay papa and he partner grandpa… but i dont want my son going to school to find out about that life. When my son comes to me and asks me about his papas i will tell him and I will be proud to do so. Not some teacher who did go through the hard times and cruel people talking and knows nothing of the life of a gay or the families of gays.

I’m
saddened that they are forcing this down these
families throats.

I think they should be teaching about the
dangers of fart cancer. So many lives are
lost each year because of this very preventable
disease!

Well…this is just one more time my jaw hit the floor…. I keep saying that I am no longer surprised by some outrageous intrusion into our personal lives by government…and then one more screwed up, freedom & liberty killing policy comes to light. In the U.K they have gone over the edge…

IF the U.S. is to exist in any kind of Constitutional Republic as it was intended to be there needs to be a mass uprising and soon. Like Thomas Jefferson said “sometimes the Tree Of Liberty must be refreshed by the blood of tyrannts and patriots…”

How far away from reaching critical mass are we? My gut feeling…not too far….and that’s a real shame.
