‘All children must learn about same-sex relationships regardless of their religious background.’
So said head of Ofsted Amanda Spielman in a recent interview in wake of the protest at Parkway School Birmingham, where around 600 parents withdrew their children following objections to the No Outsiders programme designed by gay activist Andrew Moffat.
Mr Moffat, assistant head at Parkfield Primary – a mainly Muslim school – reportedly designed the programme to teach children about issues such as gender, identity and sexual orientation, so as to combat homophobia and transphobia. Using storybooks such as ‘And Tango Makes Three’ (a story of homosexual penguins) and ‘My Princess Boy’ (the name is self-explanatory), his expressed aim is to teach children it’s okay to be gay. And, guess what, you might be too!
