Gay plays at primary school

if anything the parents who called the police on the bloke should be done for wasting police time.

Quite like that they taught the kids the correct use of the word 'gay' (although I assume it wasn't the original term!) as I hear kids all the time say ''that's gay'' about something they think is crap

I wouldn't care myself, but I would support the rights of the parent to decide. The parents involved are clearly homophobic, but he is also spot on with his comments on social engineering.

Sick of a self designated, sanctimonious set of moral guardians who believe they have the right to dictate what's right or wrong and force their views on society.

Many are sick of racism, bigotry, homophobia justified by a moral stand against political correctness. Standing up against homophobia is not politically correct it is just right!

As for social engineering that is a bollox argument, this is about stopping prejudice and bullying not trying to turn people gay.

For centuries gay people have been subject to moral guardians criminalising, killing , bullying , and this has never been about a group forcing their view on society it has been about stopping a group forcing their view on society. I have never ever seen gay rights group trying to make other people become gay I have only ever seen them asking to be free to live the way they are and experience equal rights.

Would you be reported to the police for merely asking to be consulted on your child's participation?

Schools are publicly owned places. I can't see a problem with members of the public discussing what goes on in them and what they teach or don't teach, on the internet or anywhere else.

It is a bit sinister when a member of the public expressing his dissatisfaction with a public service is spoken to by the police.

Where do you draw the line? Should I be consulted every time anything involving any race, religion, sexual orientation etc is happening at school. The same crap went on years ago about mixed race marriage now we would be appalled.
 
I am fookin sick of listening to this shite, what about racism, poverty, famine, disease. Its time these agendist found something more important to fooking promote, what about a day off once in a while from all this fookin gay agenda stuff. Go forth but go quietly ffs, sick of hearing about you you & yes you!

There is plenty about all those other things around , only a week or so ago we had the outrage against a school visiting a mosque thread and we have had plenty of outrage at immigrant threads.

Best way to stop anti homophobic agenda is stopping homophobia - pretty simple.

Not that simple, lets cure all the other stuff, and then stop cancer, drugs, crime, religious intolerance, and then you may be able to address the rest, perhaps the rest wouldn't even be an issue.
Isn't a phobic label just turning the wheels in the same manner as race religion and colour, we haven't even conquered equal rights for women yet.

Seeing as the police picked out 2 of about 20 parents to speak to I doubt it was for 'questioning their child's participation'. As a parent myself I'd also question the suitability of Facebook as a venue for a discussion with my child's school.

The school will have had nothing to do with the Facebook "discussion".
It will have been started by some shit stirrer,
Got favourable and unfavourable responses.
Well done the parents who reported him.
People seem to think that Internet discussion is not covered by the laws of the land.

As a previous poster said the school was implementing the National Curriculum.
If you have a problem with that tackle the Dept for Edn, not the school.
 
Busy cunts on both sides. I think its great that kids are being taught about diversity, but diversity should also should also cover people being allowed to be dick heads. The police didnt need to get involved

People are free to discuss schools of Facebook if they want and Facebook allow it on their private site. How can anyone have a problem with free speech?

It is not compulsory to be in favour or to approve of equality for gay people, gay marriage or anything to do with homosexuality.

Homosexuality was legalised by act of parliament after free discussion of both sides of the argument. Gay marriage was legalised in the same way. People who advocated legalising homosexuality or gay marriage were not visited by the police while those things were illegal.

It is anti-democratic and authoritarian to now declare that all discussion must end and expressing opposition to the rights provided by these acts of parliament mean you can get a visit from the police.

Police involvement with people who express dissent to the prevailing majority or officially approved views, or current laws, is the mark of an authoritarian regime, not a democracy.

Your last paragraph reads like a justification for Sheikh Abu Hamza and contains much of his argument that he should be free to spread hate and encourage jihad. I don't agree I think the state has an important role in stopping dissent where it is done to encourage bigotry, jihad, support crime .

That said a few homophobes moaning about a play in school on Facebook doesn't seem more serious than a few dinosaurs being hateful and the school should ignore them and do what it's supposed to do educate children. If that involves kids learning about what bigotry is and about things different to themselves them good.

I can't see why the police would be involved unless that is they were encouraging law breaking or committing a crime
 
Stupid idea, especially if parents weren't informed beforehand.

If I had kids I'd like them to discover these things on their own or from their parents, and form their own opinion and views. Not have it forced on them by some dippy primary school teachers. Just creates a bigger diversion over the subject than there needs to be.

Why not?

Schools always go on about how important it is to back up what is learned at school by what is taught at home. They do it with maths, they do it with phonics, so why not social issues?

Why not? Because I would have about 20 permission slips every time they read or did anything .

Though I think some social homework is no worse an idea than maths or any other homework. A few of the homophobe dads in this story could have been given a Peter Allen musical number to sew a costume for
