Children as young as five could be taught about LGBT issues in every subject under plans proposed by a campaign group.

Rights group Stonewall believes teachers should tell children about lesbian, gay and transgender issues in classes such as Maths and Design.


According to The Times, Stonewall suggests that same-sex couples be used to teach children to count in maths lessons, with possible questions including: “How many biscuits are left at Fatima and Shanika’s wedding?”

In design and technology lessons, Stonewall says teachers should use the rainbow flag to help 5 to 7-year-olds understand the meaning of colours.

In computer science, Stonewall suggests pupils could design a dress for Bailey, a boy who dreams of being a girl and is the main character in a picture book called 10,000 Dresses.

Stonewall’s guidance has been sponsored by the publisher Pearson and the Government Equalities Office (GEO) from a £1m grant awarded to LGBT organisations.

The group said: “Our new guide, Creating an LGBT-Inclusive Primary Curriculum, is a free voluntary resource for primary school teachers who want to make their classrooms inclusive and accepting of all young people.”

It comes just a week after a judge permanently banned parents from demonstrating against LGBT education outside a primary school in Birmingham.

The ban, handed down at the High Court in Birmingham on Tuesday, includes an exclusion zone surrounding the city’s Anderton Park Primary School.

The Department for Education and the city council also welcomed the judge’s decision.

The legal bid had been opposed by protesters, along with an interim ban first granted at the same court in the summer.

No way this is going to backfire! Kids love being told and constantly reminded what to do. This will also sit well with minorities, since it will clearly be inclusive and culturally sensitive.

Of course it was the fucking brits doing this shit. I was either expecting this from there, Aussieland, or Kiwiland. No matter where you go Anglos are the most retarded whites on the planet. It's a wonder they used to have the largest empire in human history.

If they really want to change public education, why not advocate for a home ec or life skills course beginning with middle school? The sooner you teach children about self reliance and responsibility, the better.

Considering how many young adults complain about how hard "adulting" is (Godbear, I hate using that word, even in proper context), they could certain use more instruction in adult skills and learning to function inthe real world.

What!? You want teachers to teach actual life skills!? If they do that then who will teach the children to be dependent on the state?

Sadly, "educate" is slowly being replaced with "indoctrinate" in the public school system. We also have the whole "question nothing" expectation on social media (see also: Tumblr) where anyone questioning stuff such as how e-beggers plan to use their money get hate-mobbed with how -ist it is to dare to question something like that or even show any sort of critical, independent thinking.

Still, there could be situations where someone's orientation could be relevant in education. Instead of studying dress design in CS, why not bring up how Alan Turing's key discoveries in and contributions to the field were tempered by people that couldn't or wouldn't overlook his homosexuality. That would be a better CS topic than the rubbish that's being proposed in the name of inclusion.

I also share the sentiment of others who said people tend(ed) to be more accepting of LGBT people or anyone else seen as different when it happened organically and especially when the other people show themselves to be like anyone else. One might shrug off a coworker being a lesbian if she consistently gets work/projects completed on time or under budget because she's shown herself to be a valued coworker whose bedroom habits may be different but irrelevant in the workplace setting.

Deep down, people dislike being forced to do something that makes them uncomfortable. Forcing LGBT topics and acceptance in all of these academic subjects could very well reach the point of excess that people either actively or subconsciously push back against it.

So what if little Jenny has two moms? It's not a big deal. It's no different from a kid having one parent, a kid being raised by another family member, a kid in foster care, whatever. Pushing too much in at a young age gets complicated fast because kids are still in the process of understanding the world around them. Adding LGBT and social issues isn't the way to teach kids to be tolerant.

Hardcore activists seem to ignore the important point that certain topics need to be presented in an age-appropriate way or flat out avoided until they are older and mature enough to understand them better. A young kid can be told that a friend who has two moms or dads is still part of a family like any other child. The same kid may be too young to be told about transgenderism, transitioning, or what happens if and when people of any age transition with hormone therapy. Yet, these activists don't seem to care and seem to see nothing wrong with actively leading or manipulating kids, some of who are barely toddlers, down this dangerous path.

In related news, British courts have now declared protests against curriculums created by suspected pedophiles teaching five year old boys to see themselves as mermaids to be illegal.

Demonstrations against LGBT inclusive education have been permanently banned outside a primary school.

A High Court judge ruled in favour of an exclusion zone to remain around Anderton Park, in Birmingham, which has been targeted by protesters for months.

The protests had an averse effect on pupils, residents and staff, leading to 21 teachers being treated for stress, Mr Justice Warby said.

Campaigners accused the city council of trying to silence debate.

The protests at the school in Balsall Heath aimed to stop LGBT relationships education, with many parents and activists claiming it contradicts their Islamic faith and is not "age appropriate".

Image copyrightPA MEDIAImage captionProtesters were banned from the school gates in June
October's five-day hearing at the city's Priory Courts heard there were further "untrue" and "harmful" allegations made about the school on social media, and how a visiting imam had claimed to parents there were "paedophiles" inside the school.

Other false claims included that the school had a "paedophile agenda" and staff were "teaching children how to masturbate".

"None of this is true," Mr Justice Warby said as he handed down the ban at Birmingham Civil Justice Centre.

"None of the defendants have suggested it was true and the council has proved it is not true."

The lessons had been "misrepresented by parents", he said, adding the school does not promote homosexuality and seeks to weave the language of equality into everyday school life.

Since June protesters have gathered just outside the exclusion zone.

In the hearing last month, the city council argued an interim injunction should be extended beyond school gates and made permanent.

Birmingham City Council said the noisy protests at the school gates were disrupting lessons and meant children were unable to use the playground.

The council maintained the court action was in response to campaigners' behaviour, not the issue of the protests.

The prior injunction named lead protester Shakeel Afsar, who does not have children at the school, his sister Rosina and Amir Ahmed, all of whom contested the need for a legal injunction.

Mr Justice Warby directed that the three named defendants should be liable to 80% of those costs, which the court heard have yet to be calculated.

The judge said the reason the award was not in full was because part of the council's claim - for an injunction on the making of abusive social media posts against teachers - had been unsuccessful.

Image copyrightPA MEDIAImage captionTeaching at the school had been "grossly misrepresented", Mr Justice Warby said
Mr Afsar said he was "bitterly disappointed with the decision of the court".

He branded the court "one-sided", pointing out that the judge, the council's barrister and key witnesses had been "white", compared with the "diverse" protest supporters.

"We can continue to protest in the same area that we have been protesting in since June this year," he added.

"These young children are not being taught the status of law."

Image copyrightPA MEDIAImage captionProtests have continued outside an exclusion zone at Anderton Park Primary School
Speaking after the ruling, head teacher Sarah Hewitt-Clarkson said staff would be "over the moon".

"We knew it was misrepresented and that was the frustration when you are trying to go about your daily business as educators and when people say things about you that are not true, that is very difficult," she said

"It has been awful, but my staff are unbelievable and parents are unbelievable and the children of Anderton Park are incredible human beings and we are a strong school and every single person is part of that strength."

Analysis
By BBC correspondent Phil Mackie

It's hard to see what the protesters can do now. One of the group's three leaders - Amir Ahmed - has said they would seek leave to appeal, but it's far from clear on what grounds they could do so.

Only a handful of the people who regularly gathered outside the school were parents or had any direct connection with Anderton Park, but the demonstrators do reflect concern felt by some religious communities about equality teaching, and particularly lessons about same sex relationships.

It won't matter to them that the judge has said their allegations about "promoting" homosexuality are false and that they have "misrepresented" what is being taught in the school.

It will simply confirm their belief that they are the victims of bias against them by the establishment and the mainstream media.

Media captionWhat is in the books that Parkfield parents are protesting about?
Birmingham City Council said it was "really pleased" with Mr Justice Warby's decision.

"This was always about protecting the school and community from the escalating levels of anti-social behaviour of the protests," Dr Tim O'Neill, the council's director of education and skills, said.

"Birmingham is diverse and inclusive - these are its strengths - and we must all come together to ensure all children get the best education possible."

He said "fringe elements" had been attracted to the protests with the aim of "stoking division and hatred".

Image copyrightPA MEDIAImage captionShakeel Afsar insisted the demonstrations were "peaceful"
Christian campaigner John Allman, from Okehampton in Devon, had joined proceedings with a view to "raising freedom of expression arguments" in opposition to aspects of the injunction that sought to restrict statements on social media.

Meanwhile, Mr Afsar had claimed the weekly protests were "peaceful" despite the use of megaphones and a sound-boosting PA system.

The National Association of Head Teachers, which has supported the school, welcomed an end to the "noisy and aggressive protests".

"This judgement makes it abundantly clear that the school gate is no place to hold a protest," a spokesperson said.

It was also welcomed by the Department for Education, which has previously faced criticism for a perceived lack of support for the school, but said it wanted to "encourage positive dialogue".

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-birmingham-50557227

So it begins.

There are problems with this curriculum but this ruling is, considering the precedent, momentous and is going to have a massive knock-on effect on schools in the UK which award special rights to "sincerely held religious beliefs".

Don't think this ruling is pro-trans, it's anti-Islam. I am genuinely surprised though, I knew the pendulum was starting to swing the other way but I didn't see it happening with a woke pro-Islam Labor on the rise.

 

[Dr. Henry Armitage]

And yet they wonder why LGBT tolerance is going down.

This. I am so sick and tired of a minority of the population thinking they need to be at the forefront of every subject, every discussion, and every issue. Who gives a rats ass about what trannies and fags and think about anything?

 

[teriyakiburns]

Jesus christ British kiwis, get out of there asap.

Yes, just run away from the problem instead of fighting it where it is now. Just run away to america, or eastern europe, or some other place that still pretends it isn't also ridden with trannies and islamics. Don't fight for your own country. Don't try and turn the tide. Run away.

Or maybe I'll say fuck you, this is my country, I'm staying.

But you've had a hundred plus years to fight, why are you only starting now? Also the issue isn't a plethora of people who are different to you, the issue is that parents have no right apparently to decide what their children learn, and that none of you apparently have the right to protest. You live in a police state, and if you live in a major city you are probably being watched at this very moment. So my point is, good luck.

 

[teriyakiburns]

But you've had a hundred plus years to fight, why are you only starting now?

You want me to somehow start fighting 50 years before I was born?
