Legal action over 4-year-old compelled to take part in Pride Parade

Izzy Montague

A court has been told that a four-year-old boy was being compelled to take part in his school’s Pride parade against the wishes of his Christian parents.

On the first day of a hearing at Central London County Court, the judge reportedly described Izzy Montague and her husband as 'devout born-again Christians', adding: 'They bear a belief that sexual relations should be abstained from or take place within a life-long marriage between a man and a woman and any activity outside those confines is sinful.’

In June 2018, Heaver’s Farm Primary School, Croydon made plans to participate in Pride month with various activities, including a parade. When Mrs Montague learnt about the parade she requested that her son be withdrawn. She was told by headteacher Susan Papas that if her son did not attend it would be considered a behavioural issue.
