/// Sarah Hewitt-Clarkson, head at Anderton Park primary school in Birmingham, which has been at the centre of a row over LGBT+ lessons, added that there were police markers on her house following abuse. ///

Do we need to point the finger?

/// The Department for Education (DfE) has announced a £10m package to improve discipline in schools. ///

I wonder how many canes and blackboard rubbers that will buy?

Not seen anything about it being an issue in other schools.Maybe they don't teach it.

So maybe ANOTHEOLDGIT is wrong? Anyway, I'm sure he'll have an answer.

I read somewhere that the protests had spread to five other schools in Birmingham, including one which was not using the "No Outsiders" program, but also that there were protests further afield in Lancashire. That seems to be confirmed by this report:

Incidentally, there was a protest against the perceived promotion of homosexuality in Bristol over ten years ago. The school solved the problem by "temporarily" withdrawing the materials in question and was began liaising with various groups to ensure that the topic could be addressed in an "inclusive manner". (I wonder how the liaising went.)

Parkfield has followed the same course, suspending the "No Outsiders" program and promising further "dialogue" with the parents on the issue.

Other schools are affected.

// four more schools in the city have stopped teaching lessons about diversity and LGBT+ issues due to parental complaints. //

It is sickening when two- faced hypocrites bemoan those who protest again including LGBT sex lessons whilst simultaneously calling for a ban on including LGBT relationships in sex lessons.

Pathetic.
