The parents, who objected to the lessons on moral and religious grounds, said the content was more appropriate to secondary age pupils.
Pervez Latif, whose children Saleh, ten, and Abdur-Rahim, nine, attend the school, said he knew of up to 30 withdrawals from the lessons.
The 41-year-old accountant said Christian and Muslim parents had objected to the theme linked to Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender History Month.
‘We as parents did not receive any guidance that this was going to happen,’ he added. ‘There was just a newsletter mentioning the week and that certain themes would be taught.
‘I didn’t want my children to be learning about this. I wrote a letter to the chairman of the governors explaining that I would be taking my children out of school and he wrote back saying that there was no other option.
‘If I am faced with court action, then I will just explain that these are my views. It was also very difficult explaining to my nine- and ten-year-old boys why they were being removed from school.
‘I found it difficult to explain topics such as homosexual relationships at such a young age.’

Good to see some moral grounds on which Christians and Muslims can stand together to resist the intrusion of government.

One comment:
We are getting nearer and nearer to a dictatorship where parents have no rights and the population have no right to disagree with whatever these sick liberals decide to do. No wonder this country is becoming morally bankrupt because of this government.
and another
This country gets more and more like a socialist republic every day. We decide what our children watch, not local trumped up noughties!!
Sounds like concerns and sentiments expressed on the BB. Eh?:thumbsup:
