  • Earlier this year protests began over LGBT-inclusive lessons being taught at Parkfield primary school in Birmingham, pupils were taken out of school, the lessons have been suspended and the protests have spread around the country. So I travelled to the city to speak to the protesters, teachers and activists at the heart of the row to find out whether we should be worried about the return of Section 28? Or if it will strengthen the case for No Outsiders programme, which teaches kids from a young age that it's ok to be different

      Sorry Owen Jones, you did NOT go to the centre of this LGBT row, in actual fact you did your very best to AVOID confrontation by keeping as far away as much as possible from those demonstrating outside the school gates !! Jones spent nearly all his time on this so called investigation video, talking to non Muslims who were NOT demonstrating, then ends up blaming NOT the demonstrators, but people with right wing views. what a bottle job he is !

      Anyone who holds socially conservative views on homosexuality and opposes it being taught in schools- Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or otherwise-is not integrating and adopting the overarching culture. In the United States, only 34 percent of white evangelical Christians think that homosexuality should be accepted by society. 52 percent of US Muslims believe it should be accepted, with 57 percent of US-born Muslims and 60 percent of millennial Muslims believing this (compared with 63 percent of the overall population). Clearly, the white evangelical Christians aren’t integrating very well.

    I am a Yorkshire man and my children are now adults, but if this had been attempted to teach my children this in primary school I think I would have been asking questions of my MP and Parliament. Questions about the age appropriate time this is being introduced, not that it should be introduced , but at primary school is simply wrong.

    How would one summarize this final paragraph from Jones? Is he saying there is a danger with these protests? But its not happening, because British people are joining in solidarity against the bigotry of Islam?

Most of the people that are against it say it's inappropriate for kids to learn about LGBT, buts that's like saying people that are LGBT shouldn't be around kids because they are inappropriate (and there are kids that are queer themselves or have LGBT relatives). I don't see what's wrong teaching kids to just respect them at school, school is meant to prepare kids for the outside world after all.

      Hugh Mungus He didn’t talk about Islam, he talked about Muslims. The far-right single out Muslims for holding conservative, right-wing views, leaving out the fact that evangelical Christians and conservative Jews hold many similar views, and use this to claim that “Muslims aren’t compatible with our society”. Of course, if they were consistent, they’d say the same about other groups, and in any case, all of the empirical evidence suggests that values can change very quickly over the time-as Muslim-Americans show us. Even within a culture, values can change over time: Turkey under the Ottoman Empire was the 9th country in the world to decriminalise homosexuality, more than a century and a half before the United States and more than a century before Britain.

    The biggest problems with this are the age this is being taught at, at 4-11 you can VERY easily misinterpret something like this, and the other problem is telling then that it is okay to be gay, transgender etc. in all religions as Mr. Moffat says, which IS, or similar to radicalising because you are going against the rules of the religion. Don't say it's okay to be of a certain religion like Christianity or Islam, and be gay for example, it's not, it's clearly in the scriptures, you are not an RS teacher so don't talk about religion.

      If 4 year olds are old enough to learn about religion, then they are old enough to learn about LGBT people's existence and they are (in children's words) an ok bunch.

      Religion is a belief with a huge reliance on faith so it is therefore a CHOICE.
      Being homosexual is not a choice like being straight is not a choice. Therefore, if learning about LGBT issues goes against your beliefs, the burden is not on the LGBT people to change, it's the person with homophobic beliefs that should change.

      @@inbb510 you're clearly missing the point, learning about lgbt issues isn't against the religion, I have not stated that
