A step too far with this nonsense.
I hope someone challenges this in court. Agreed btw it is sickening. |

This wil be interesting, I'm sure the proportion of parents withdrawing their children will far outstrip any estimates.

From the link:
In 2009, Muslim and Christian parents in Waltham Forest, East London, were threatened with prosecution for withdrawing their children from primary schools lessons that used the gay marriage story book, King & King (see pages 6 and 7). The council said the withdrawals were “unauthorised” absences and that action would be taken against the parents. |

Soon to be compulsory.

Who says they are going to be taught about adult sexual relationships? It's going to be just like telling them about straight marriage. Perfectly appropriate and without mentioning that there's any humping like wild buffaloes is involved.
|
|
By:
and doing so at an early age is part of making sure that they learn to forward the desired respect and kindness towards all loving, consenting adults later on in their lives.
|
|
By:
complete waste of time, give them a great column of numbers to add up.
|
|
By:
and if they can't do it tell them it's because they are not sufficiently intelligent and to work harder.
It's good for them. |
|
By:
Children should only be taught normal things at school.
|
|
By:
Exactly, Akabula. That's why they are now going to be taught about same sex marriage.
|
|
By:
Normal? It's a bit niche imo.

Injera, if you are all for universal kindness and respect, what are you afraid of if children are not taught, unlike in previous times, that people in same sex relationships are not abominations? Children shouldn't be ruined by us adults indoctrinating them with hatred towards people for no other reason than God having created them in a way that makes them love other consenting adults of the same sex.

By:
In previous times it was illegal.

Always remember: If you preach hate at the service, the holy water gets poisoned.
|
|
By:
It's a very dangerous at that age, a form of child cruelty which can do great harm .
|
|
By:
No such thing as holy water. Just another invention by people who want to control others.
|
|
By:
It is why today's society is becoming so violent , increasingly with the themes of tv and films and computer games and internet.
|
|
By:
great harm by teaching children kindness and respect instead of indoctrinating them with hatred?
|
|
By:
hatred based on some contemporary figures from a very long time ago putting words into The Lord's mouth.
|
|
By:
I'm absolutely appalled by this story. Is it some sort of hoax or a joke of the worst possible taste? I find it almost impossible to believe that anybody would support such a dangerous and morally disgusting policy, it is wholly repugnant.
|
|
By:
edy the school should not be teaching that, that is what a primary school should be .
It should be kind and safe and fairly strict but caring too.. That is how children learn and there is no other way to teach them. |
|
By:
I don't mind them myself edy, though I would not presume to tell anyone who finds homosexual practices disgusting that they have have no right to their thoughts.
|
|
By:
Of course they have a right to their opinion, saddo. At the same time everybody else has the right to think they're big time uncool and go against the most basic, most important teachings of Christ.
|
|
By:
I might have a bit of an image of being anti-Christian on here, I don't know. I'm not against Christianity at all. It is a wonderful thing in itself. What I have always had a problem with are certain organised churches that have fostered and created so much hatred and murder against every teaching. Along with people that besmirch the true religion of peace and kindness by picking one part of the bible that just so suits the purpose of their hateful natures and let that override the real, central teaching of Christianity that is one of kindness and compassion towards your fellow humans.
|
|
By:
Kindness and compassion are fine edy but that still does not mean that we have to accept everything that is put in front of us.
|
|
By:
You are absolutely right there. Not everything should be accepted. At some point you need to withdraw your own kindness and compassion if the other person keeps showing hatred towards you or other people.
|
|
By:
That's ok as long as it is done with moderation and common sense , that's how we do things in England and the Church of England religion is different from those in other countries, thank god .
|
|
By:
You keep saying hatred. Where is the hared on here or are you saying become someone disagrees with something they are guilty of hatred?
|
|
By:
you see edy might have a certain way of reading gods mind , but as far as I know god does not speak.
|
|
By:
As far as homosexual relationships are concerned however, I have a hard time to find reasons why some cherry picked parts of the bible, mostly the old testament even, should be more important than the central message of Christianity, and what our societies should be about, whether you're Christian or atheist.
|
|
By:
ah , there he goes again . He is going to claim that people who do not want primary age children taught about these things are hateful and may do damage ...
But then again they may be merely worried and cincerned. about the shameless liberal agenda that could be so dangerous , and when we see the world today , who is not worried about preachers like edy. |
|
By:
There is an increasing tendency to label any dislike or distaste of something as hateful. It cannot be helpful.
|
|
By:
What do you think the central message of Christianity is edy?
Love to all? Does that have any exclusions? Or is forgiveness no matter what they do? |
|
By:
What is so dangerous about a child seeing John & Joe hold hands and thinking
a) meh...ok...hey Steven, let's keep playing hide&seek. instead of b) My eyes! They're an abomination! Burn them! ? I'm all ears for you, lfc, to tell me why that would be so dangerous. |
|
By:
saddo and akabula...I think history is on my side here if I say homosexuality has traditionally received its amount of hatred, and not just indifference to mild dislike.
|
|
By:
Proved by that post you either accept without reservation or it's hatred.
|
|
By:
I didn't just mean homosexuality edy, people use the hate word whenever someone disagrees with them these days.
