GordonS Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 6 hours ago, welshbairn said: I don't think the State should dictate every aspect of how children are educated, especially in moral and religious fields. Homosexuality isn't a moral issue any more than being black or Jewish or heterosexual is a moral issue. Nobody is telling the kids to be gay, just that many people are gay and that's fine. Anyone with a problem with that should be kept the hell away from education, and their kids need to be taught reality whether the parent likes it or not. As for religious fields, if a parent didn't want their child to learn about Islam, would that be something a school should accommodate? Parents have a right to withdraw their children from religious observance, but they do not have a right to withdraw them from religious education. It took us long enough to get rid of the Christian whackjobs like Thatcher who prevented kids from being taught about the world as it actually is, let's not go backwards now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet you live in a country with parallel education systems wherein the right to one particular religious education is enshrined in law?

Educating children to understand that people are different - colour, gender, creed, sexuality is absolutely the responsibility of the state. More so where there are backward arseholes determined to corrupt their thinking. If people have a faith that's absolutely fine. Forcing it on to others is not. Telling people why they have their faith is fine. Deciding that faith applies to others is not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Children don't need " educating " on this, they know and learn this through their experiences as they grow. You sound like Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I don't have a problem with that invocation a lot of the time as it's a valid comparison to make but laughing at the idea that teaching people that it's fine to be one of the gays is something particularly relevant to Nazi Germany. Or Stalin's Russia for that matter. Maybe he meant Weimar Germany or Lenin's Russia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fucking shitfest.I don’t think that this is happening because of Steve Bannon and Tommy Robinson at all. These lessons were introduced recently, that’s why the protests have started now. Apparently 600 pupils were withdrawn from lessons this week at the affected primary school. The head of Birmingham council have said that they might introduce an exclusion zone for protests outside the school. The only time I’ve heard of that before in this country is around abortion clinics and the Holy Cross primary school dispute in Northern Ireland about 20 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
