Media playback is unsupported on your deviceFour more schools in Birmingham have stopped teaching about LGBT rights following complaints by parents.
Earlier this month the city's Parkfield Community School suspended the lessons after protests were held. Some parents at Parkfield, and the other four schools, claim the classes are inappropriate for young children and the schools' LGBT message contradicts Islam.
sima_kotecha Thank God for heterosexuals keeping humanity thriving since the beginning
sima_kotecha I'd like to know if these are primary schools or not! If they are, then why is sexuality of any kind being taught to children? Let them be children.
sima_kotecha Expect but don’t return tolerance
sima_kotecha The left when the case involves Islam LGBT People of Colour
sima_kotecha My wife’s a teacher and she’s had numerous cases of Christian parents who don’t wish their kids to be taught books with wizards or fairies etc. And has banned them from being included in such topics and discussions This isn’t a practice which is unique to Muslim families.
sima_kotecha I don't think teaching kids about the existence of varying sexualities is any different to religious education classes teaching kids about different religions. So why is one villified and the other accepted, despite neither of them pushing a conversion narrative?
sima_kotecha Teaching ethics, philosophy and social accountability might be more useful. Why sectionalised it at all? I wonder what the children think, assuming they are mature enough to choose?
sima_kotecha Stop making policy based on peoples imaginary friends that are determined to spread hate and violence. All religion is hate and has no place in the future of man kind
sima_kotecha If they started teaching lybtqweergfssdgfd in my sons school I’m removing him from that class. The shit hole is only for shiting
sima_kotecha 10202j
sima_kotecha She is ignoring the children born LGBT, born in to bigoted families, the only support they get is through school and she wants to remove that support, its immoral and prejudiced , typical of a tory.😡
sima_kotecha Why should it be compulsory for children - from the age of 5, to be taught such matters. Sexuality and relationship choices do not better ones school grades. The state should not be allowed to forcefully indoctrinate social policy via schools. Parental rights not the state.
sima_kotecha What! No protests or name calling about this, wee owen Jones keeping quiet incase he upsets the wrong demographic! OwenJones84
sima_kotecha Good
sima_kotecha Some may think it’s being harsh but I don’t think ANY child should be forced to know women chop their tits off and men cut their nuts off. A child shouldn’t be hearing that stuff. Gay marriage? Lesbians etc? That’s just normal and every kid knows what that is these days anyway
sima_kotecha Blame yourselves. Know why? I went to school in the 90s and gay/ straight was all one thing. Sex Education. You associate yourself with this LBGTQTDJTUA which changes daily. By next year it will be something else. TBC
sima_kotecha My niece told us at her school there's LGBT posters in every hallway and kids now have to fill out forms asking what they identify as, etc. She's 13 years old, in Year 8...no wonder these kids are turning fruity. Fully agree with the parents.
sima_kotecha Teach the kids about all the genders like I did to my kids.
sima_kotecha Does anyone actually know what is being taught in these lessons? Is it LGBT rights or something else?
sima_kotecha I'm now 40 and growing up in the 80's/90's I can remember we were never educated about LGBT and I've turned out ok i'm not bothered what sexuality people are or what they want to refer themselves as - kids are going to grow up more confused than ever! I'm an adult confused😳😳
sima_kotecha Newsflash: It’s not all about you parents. Children are not dolls, you don’t get to decide how they live their lives and who they live it with. It’s pathetic that adults insist on bullying kids and ignoring that it causes suicide. They’d rather a kid die than be openly gay.
sima_kotecha Why is there a certain age that kids should learn about lesbian and gay relationships but it’s okay for them to know about about straight relationships? I know that it’s the fact that they think homes relationships are “promiscuous” I can’t believe this bs is still here in 2019
sima_kotecha If homosexuals choose their lifestyle then why does it mean we have to brainwash children or force them into same sex adoptions? Nothing short of vote grabbing at the cost of children's innocence!
sima_kotecha Quite rightly so!! Far too young to get that shite rammed down their throats like the rest of us have
sima_kotecha It's so very wrong that we're poisoning children's minds. If homosexual choose their lifestyle then that is an adult decision. Adoption and state brainwashing is nothing short of evil.
sima_kotecha What about non muslim parents removing their children from schools that making them write letters about converting to islam n making them wear the burka.
sima_kotecha BBC you are to blame for your continued lies, propaganda and backing of a religion that is intolerant, homophobic and dangerous to non muslims
sima_kotecha Is anyone still unclear about Islam ?
sima_kotecha Good. Schools are not for putting ideologies in children’s head. Don’t want my children to be brainwashed with this nonsense.
sima_kotecha Absolutely up to the parent. The lgbt community doesn’t get to decide what my child can make r can’t hear or what I expose my child to.
sima_kotecha Damn white supremacists.... oh wait!
sima_kotecha Here's a novel idea: How about instead of 'How to be Gay' or 'How to Hate the English' or 'How to Kill White People' you FIRE EVERY TEACHER who can't teach Mathematics, History, reading, writing, and science, and maybe stop with all the 'How to Be Nice to Gay People' classes?
sima_kotecha What's this country coming to?
sima_kotecha Fucking religious beliefs again!!
sima_kotecha Government - Muslims need to integrate more Also Government - allows Muslims to opt out of measures to benefit society and improve social cohesion
sima_kotecha Move along western society, there’s no homophobia or denial of western values to see here. Let’s ignore the existence of cultural and religious differences within our society that conflict with the new narrative and refocus on the only prejudice we are allowed to talk about.
sima_kotecha I wonder what Disgraced Former Defence Secretary Liam Fox and his good friend Adam Werrity would make of this... Same sex couples indeed.
sima_kotecha *complaints from Muslims
sima_kotecha If they don't want their kids to learn about it then just home school them
sima_kotecha This story comes back and with it comes all the morons with awful takes. People are exhausting.
sima_kotecha No surprise that my mates are taking over your jobs if you waste time teaching them this at schools.
sima_kotecha The schools in brum are allegedly faith schools so that's against their religion, so that's a generation totally ignorant to humanity. So wrong. Live and let live x.
sima_kotecha I bet they exclusively allow Muslims to be free from this IMMORAL GLOBOHOMO Tranny promoting agenda aimed at sexualizing & brainwashing children! You just know they will turn a blind eye to them while the rest of us will suffer Be a Muslim or degenerate? No! Civil-War is coming!
sima_kotecha I can only hope that those poor children don’t grow up to be part of the LGBT community with parents like that, how absolutely ignorant. As for andrealeadsom why has she waded in to this? I’m so glad she never became PM. Not that she ever stood a chance homophobia ignorance
sima_kotecha Woe I thought this was about sex ed now it’s about rights?
sima_kotecha If you said the same statement 'morally we do not accept...' but replaced the word homosexuality with other minority terms we would immediately recognise it as bigotry.
sima_kotecha I’m forced to learn about everyone else’s religions which I have absolutely no belief in so if they don’t want their kids learning about lgbt rights I don’t see why I have to learn about their religions 😕
sima_kotecha This is just wrong. We are supposed to be a multicultural, tolerant society. I do not believe in religion but would not ask them to remove classes about tolerance for different religions for the curriculum. You cannot ask for tolerance while denying it to others.
sima_kotecha Most if not all are Muslims. Another sign of their lack of integration within the U.K. 🇬🇧🤬 As for an age to teach about Bi/Gay Relationships, I think about 14 is ok 👌 personally 👍
sima_kotecha The backwards feral religion of Islam strikes again, if only we knew after all these years that Islam wasn’t made to mix with Christianity. 🤔. Not long till short skirts get banned in public. birmjnghamfirst
sima_kotecha Good. Let parents educate their own children on this subject. If they chose too. It's NOT compulsory education.
sima_kotecha 2)If they attend, have discussions & agreements are made fine, if not, a parent should have the right to withdraw their child from the lesson. On the whole be proactive and teach your child, as alternative ways of life exist and (rightly or wrongly) will exist until the end...
sima_kotecha 1)As parents, we have a responsibility to teach our children that there are different people in the world who exercise their ‘choice’ to live in a variety of ways. In this scenario, parents should be proactive & ask schools to show them what they would be teaching their children.
sima_kotecha This is what happens when you let religious people have a say in anything backwards fucks
sima_kotecha Religion is a load of bollocks, you’ll deny the right for two people of the same sex to love each other because you’re afraid some invisible dickhead in the sky’s going to send you to hell when you die? Get s grip on reality you tits. Human lives come before your belief system
sima_kotecha Why should kids be taught about these things at such a young age? Kids are confused enough and very impressionable. They should be protected not encouraged. it's Muslim patents who have complained. If it was any other religion they would have been ignored
sima_kotecha Multi cultural utopia fail. If only we had known islam was the complete opposite of liberal values !
sima_kotecha This is getting stupid taking children out of schools because there being tought about the LGBT community. That means if the teachers were teaching children about different religions would parents take there kids out of schools. This is 2019 not the dark age's.
sima_kotecha Children are innocent and shouldn’t be exposed to sexual relations whether straight or homosexual. There’s more to life than sex and having a girl/boy friend. If some parents choose to sexualise children, it’s their choice but it shouldn’t be forced on everyone.
sima_kotecha Maybe instead of oversaturation. Start small ay?
sima_kotecha If you listen carefully you can hear the lefties heads exploding! 😂Come on lefties how about some demonstrations and accussations of racism against those parents in Birmingham?
sima_kotecha They should forget the PC and stop it period.
sima_kotecha Disgusting. LGBT equality is enshrined in law, and when the parents are bigots it’s even more important for the school to set these kids up with the right knowledge on LGBT issues.
sima_kotecha We prioritise teaching them this, yet we still dont teach money management, mortgages, debt and other important things in life.
sima_kotecha The schools should educate children and ignore any bigots wanting them to not do so
sima_kotecha This is called homophobia. Shame on these schools for giving in to this. Does that mean we can remove morning and afternoon prayers from these schools too?
sima_kotecha Hmm. England has a problem. It seems that unless you're gamon they don't want you. They've lost their happiness
sima_kotecha So wrong. Kids don't need to know that stuff
sima_kotecha I wounder what type of schools they are🤔🙄
sima_kotecha Amazing how much the Muslim community get away with. If white parents decided they didn’t want their children learning about Islam in school. The reaction would be very different. Homophobia is acceptable when committed by Muslims
sima_kotecha If parents want to remove their kids that’s their choice & they need to provide equal or better education at home Schools shouldn’t bow to offended parents and remove the curriculum entirely
sima_kotecha Is teaching about heterosexual relationships part of the national curriculum in primary schools?
sima_kotecha I personally think it’s a waste of time any parent removing their child from any class for any reason. The subjects are part of everyday life anyhow and the removed child will only ask their peers what they missed anyway, risking hearing about the topic out of context.
sima_kotecha Been long since I liked this page tweet.
sima_kotecha this is utter bs. how is it that parents whos children play truant are liable for fines/prison, but bigoted parents hiding behind religion, denying their children education and socialization arent being condemned? lets not forget, lgbt education will save lives
NavalMilk sima_kotecha Good.
sima_kotecha SomethingBlue for moreBirmingham. - SomethingOld SomethingNew - Section28. • • Analogue photographer & workshop facilitator. Exhibited V_and_A, EastmanMuseum & LacockNT.
sima_kotecha Im not against it but I'm not for it for the reasons the parents are tho...far more relevant, useful shit to teach kids at that age.
sima_kotecha Well they force this on everybody else what's the difference with these schools?
sima_kotecha Such good news
sima_kotecha Trans is not real
sima_kotecha There is no debate to be had. LGBT lives are as valid as heterosexual lives. It's not a question.
sima_kotecha They are afraid of their Moslem parents. If the parents voicing objections were Christian, they'd be ignored.
sima_kotecha Morally? , what they call a valid reason Is called Homophobia in my world.
sima_kotecha Can I point out that Transgender People have an actual mental health issue and should not be put in the same group as sexual. Sorry but as someone who is Bi-Sexual, I believe I have the right to say that.
sima_kotecha Parents are annoyed beacsue children should be children. They shouldne be tuaght none of this cral when they are so young. They have parents for stuff like that. How can a government dictate what my child learns? Just let kids be kids.
sima_kotecha WTF!!!
sima_kotecha If conservative Christians had any sense they'd ally themselves with Muslims who are fighting for all of the same regressive ideas as them but are able to guilt trip powerful left wingers
sima_kotecha Uneducated parents dictating educational content. They need to watch more Queer Eye.
sima_kotecha This has nothing to do with LGBT rights and equality. It's everything to do with trying to force Muslims to reject their own morals and the teachings of their own religion.
BBCPolitics sima_kotecha If you don’t teach them they will find out. Someone who has been taught will let the cat out of the bag. The act of teaching doesn’t imprint the same message on everyone, only teacher’s pets take it all in unquestioningly. Life isn’t that simple.
GhengisKhan88 sima_kotecha But But... Where is the outrage from OwenJones84 ? Is this a real news story for the Guardian news propaganda machine? Come on! News is news. Right? RIGHT?
sima_kotecha good it is not appropriate
BBCPolitics sima_kotecha Why does this not mention complaints from muslim parents, hundreds of them protesting outside schools. What is Damien Hinds worried about? these people namely there kids needs to learn and integrate into the British way of life, serious reputations to come from this.
sima_kotecha Is this really the state of this country has it really come to this it seems like we are suddenly going backwards again. I was 13 when I knew I was gay and endured vile abuse in every way imaginable things were much different then (1993) for me LGBT teaching would have helped
sima_kotecha Citizens rights education is essential part of preparing young people for life outside school. It must be reinstated. Pure homophobic intolerance by these parents, nothing in their religious texts that says same sex relationships are wrong.
sima_kotecha Looks like “Muslim victimhood” trumps “LGBT victimhood”.
sima_kotecha You mean MUSLIM schools.
sima_kotecha Disgraceful!!!!!!! Shame on these schools and stupid parents!
sima_kotecha Interesting that normal people are fighting back against this creeping perversion. Do normal people have rights
sima_kotecha 👏
sima_kotecha If I go and live in another I respect and follow to my best ability their laws and culture, so if people want to live here they follow ours. Minority groups don't dictate to the majority
sima_kotecha Bigger win fer Midul FC since we came down from 3 down at 'alf time to win against fc_norf
BBCPolitics sima_kotecha Good should be up to parents.
sima_kotecha Are you really allowing this to happen? educationgovuk CommonsEd lets embrace our British values! Tolerance MutualRespect
sima_kotecha Look at this headline, the biased BBC choose to use the word 'parents' We are awake BBC, we know your modus operandi.
sima_kotecha Weak schools
sima_kotecha Ah yes, now I wonder which side those virtue signalling Labour MP cretins will take.
sima_kotecha Good
sima_kotecha Everything I learnt about sex and relationships was out of school, just like everyone else. lol.
BBCPolitics sima_kotecha Is this even legal? Are these state schools?
sima_kotecha Very sad to hear this. What does this say to same sex parents? What does this say to any children who will grow up to be gay? Equality Now
sima_kotecha He claimed parents who had protested were 'effectively seen as homophobes in the wider community'. Well yes, they are homophobes. If you oppose LGBT rights, you are are a homophobe
sima_kotecha Muslim parents! They must be overruled for the sake of a peaceful society.
sima_kotecha Meanwhile. For the Catholics...
sima_kotecha Disgraceful. Yet I imagine they’re still teaching the superstitious nonsense that is Religious Education. A cowardly and pathetic decision by the schools here caving into the homophobes leading these protests
sima_kotecha finally getting are cuntry back. them parents can have a round on me. got my lads school to stop teachin em all this fairy bollocks. bout time we put are foot down
sima_kotecha What happened to this sheep then friends of Mr Ahmed?
sima_kotecha Yes they should be getting that from TV and Hollywood
sima_kotecha Who's morals are these? The ones that say its ok to stone women and butcher the infidel?
sima_kotecha This is where Ofsted needs to step in and fail those schools.
sima_kotecha LGBT People Muslims Pick one leftists...
sima_kotecha So are you staying here or no? Because we're heading in this direction, other countries of the world might better understand your viewpoint
sima_kotecha They’ve also stopped teaching that Nazis are bad after complaints from white supremacists
sima_kotecha Just another form of discrimination
sima_kotecha When you push too far in one direction other will push back. We had a nice middle ground there for a while but you went too far left.
sima_kotecha This is clearly homophobic. Not ‘believing’ in a particular sexuality or religion does not give anyone the right to ban or censor it. Maybe the school should extend it’s program to the parents as well.
sima_kotecha LGBT is not about sex. It's about relationships. Just like teaching about a mommy and daddy is not about sex it's about relationships. Why some of the people are refusing to accept this information is hard and fascinating to understand. This is why we call it homophobia.🤷🏻♂️
sima_kotecha Its not the schools purpose to teach morals or beliefs. They should be concentrating on teaching subjects that are actually usable in the world to make a living. It’s about time parents stood up to these agendas that have nothing to do with education.
sima_kotecha Apparently, if you don't believe in Islam you're Islamaphobic but if you don't believe in homosexuality, it doesn't make you homophobic. They'll be throwing them off the roofs next, Oh wait whats that.
sima_kotecha Look at the language of local, much lauded, community groups and you'll see the intolerance barely hidden behind the usual old tropes spewing negativity about LGBT people
sima_kotecha no kids should be taught about same sex couples, bisexuals or transgenders end of.
sima_kotecha I think we shouldn’t force Anyone to accept something they don’t feel is right just because a majority want it. They are within their rights to say I don’t believe in it same as u have right to say u do but not forcefully in either direction.
sima_kotecha 🤔 Instead of listening to the narrow minded parents why don’t you just say ; This is what we teach, you don’t like take your child elsewhere. 🤷♂️🤷♀️
sima_kotecha This is outrageous! Parents shouldn't be allowed to dictate what is taught in schools. Will evolution be the next target? Who's beliefs will or won't be given in to?
sima_kotecha Muslim, Christians and white supremacist are on the same page against lgbt.
sima_kotecha Guys reclaim ur country. This is sheer nonsense.
BBCPolitics sima_kotecha Good
sima_kotecha This country is lost to Islam. Tolerance only works one way, their way. Enjoy your dystopian future everyone, we’re gone.
sima_kotecha Like no one knew Islam and pc crap are not compatible. So funny.
sima_kotecha The cheek of these parents to simultaneously demand that their religion is fully involved in the kids’ education, but nothing about other people’s lives should be, because they “disagree”
sima_kotecha I applause those parents . I would do the same. Bring your children up to lead normal lives do not confuse them. They will be what they will be not what you try to force them into. Here we go listen to the snowflakes
sima_kotecha Adulthood is where everyone will learn all about sexuality and all its diversity. Keep children children and teach the basics as its always been for centuries. Propaganda is not healthy for children no matter what cultural ideology their parents bring them up to following.
sima_kotecha Perhaps it’s the parents who should be taught first. Clearly they need educating too!
sima_kotecha We shouldn't criticise Islam after the Christchurch attack. Can you please stop this?
sima_kotecha Hilarious how 'religion' is blamed for this when it's one particular religion that is overwhelmingly causing the most fuss. Again.
BBCPolitics sima_kotecha Why don’t we just let them be kids just for a change
sima_kotecha Who doesn’t accept homosexual relationships ‘morally’? Faith schools should be phased out in my opinion!
BBCPolitics sima_kotecha Things like this are fuel for the far right. Completely unacceptable in my opinion.
Dead Muslims and their ilk, tolerance and respect works both ways.
sima_kotecha OwenJones84 is quiet.
sima_kotecha Let kids be kids. They don’t need to learn about LGBT stuff at a young age. This shit will confuse them sooo much. I agree with the parents. Heck my kids would be in private school or home schooled to prevent this shit from happening
sima_kotecha Shouldn’t be allowed. If you are gay or bi you will learn about this anyway. Shouldn’t be part of the curriculum absolutely horrendous
sima_kotecha This is so wrong, this upsets me so much 😿
sima_kotecha So these schools will only listen when Muslims protest against it but if a Christian does, they are labelled homophobic! What is happening in this world?
BBCPolitics sima_kotecha That should be applied to every school in the UK.
sima_kotecha Are they happy for their children to attend RE lessons?
BBCPolitics sima_kotecha In my experience people's sexuality or the way others live their lives is not an issue for young people, they put some adults to shame.
FbpeReynard sima_kotecha That is simply outrageous! These parents need to be educated and not block the education of their children. This sort of intolerance is not acceptable. Never was, never will be.
sima_kotecha If you cannot teach it, you cannot stop the prejudice and racism from spreading. This sort of attitude starts in the home. Kids need to know all sides of this, not just from their homophobic parents.
sima_kotecha No more Gaelic lessons then
sima_kotecha With BBC support.... naturally
sima_kotecha I was brain washed as a child to believe in a god. It took a long time to recover.
sima_kotecha I have news for them, LGBT people are real. Sky fairies are not 😐
sima_kotecha In 25 years the Muslims will be in positions of political power and then the leftards will truly see what their islamic ideology is about.
sima_kotecha Part and parcel
sima_kotecha Owen Jones, Kevin Maguire, Afua Hirsch, Dawn Butler, Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott.....
sima_kotecha So why can't the BBC be clear and state these are MUSLIM schools?
sima_kotecha The education should b same across the country. Why govt gives in to these demands. Don’t they hv LG.. in their community. Probably can’t find underneath burka. Forgot sakes its awareness one don’t have to b. wish this was taught when I was in school.
sima_kotecha how is this even legal?
sima_kotecha Then I guess they will stop talking about “straight” peoples agenda as well - right?
sima_kotecha Stupid lesson anyway. They can learn all about that stuff on social media.
BBCPolitics sima_kotecha Intersectionality wars! Pick a side! 😂
sima_kotecha Why are muslims so homophobic and why is it acceptable for them to be?
sima_kotecha Where’s the lefty outrage? Lolz
sima_kotecha
sima_kotecha Example....That's like parents saying they don't want the school to teach about Islam as a religion which is involved in RE....Que the uproar. Same sex relationships are part of daily life it's the 21st century get over it 🙄
BBCPolitics sima_kotecha Don't you mean following complaints by muslim parents
sima_kotecha Education authorities caved in & started a presidence now. Homophobia now acceptable in Birmingham it seems
sima_kotecha What are these people afraid of? That their children will “turn” gay? I hate to break it to these parents, but that’s not how it works.
sima_kotecha Parents have a right to NOT want that for their kids. LGBT rights which is the right to copulate in a favoured position does not belong in any school curriculum.
sima_kotecha Bewildered herd not wanting that choice
sima_kotecha Islamophobia.
sima_kotecha Surely you know you can't criticise Islam after Christchurch
sima_kotecha Can we stop teaching about religion then? Or maybe wait till they’re 16, because we wouldn’t want impressionable minds subjected to that kind of thing!
sima_kotecha Isn't Diversity Brilliant 🤔
sima_kotecha Well surely you would of thought they would teach them to not be a bunch of terrorists first
sima_kotecha I really thought SPEAKER BERCOW...was a Womble!! SpeakerBercow Brexit Wombles
