Muslim Parents Banned from Protesting LGBT Lessons Outside School
< >
Birmingham City Council has won a High Court order to ban protests about LGBT relationship lessons in and around Anderton Park Primary School.
As children return to school after the half-term break, parents and other protesters face arrest if they appear on or in the proximity of the school grounds to protest about the teaching of LGBT relationships to their children.
In recent weeks the predominately Muslim parents have been seen carrying signs that read “Adam and Eve Not Adam and Steve” and “Say No to Sexualisation of children”.
The protestors argue the content is not age-appropriate for their children and teaching them about gay relationships would confuse them.
Under the terms of the new High Court order, the protestors can be arrested if they breach the following conditions:
“Organise, engage in, or encourage others to engage in any protests against the teaching of equalities at the school within an exclusion zone
Print and hand out leaflets, organise protest events or encourage others to do so
Use social media to make offensive or abusive comments about any members of staff at the school around equalities teaching.”
A council spokesperson said of introducing the order, “We did so only after careful consideration and in the light of increasing fears for the safety and wellbeing of the staff, children and parents of the school when they come back from their half-term break.
“This is particularly so after the serious escalation of the protests in the week before half-term – including the attendance of very large numbers of people who have no children at the school, many of whom are not from the city,” they added.
