British parents take 600 children out of school to protest against new course that they feel 'promotes homosexuality'
The No Outsiders programme is about making children aware of different people's lifestyles and challenges homophobia in primary schools
As many as 600 children were reportedly withdrawn by their parents after a school launched a programme aimed at tackling homophobia.
It has been suggested that 80 percent of the pupils at the Parkfield Community School have been taken out by their Muslim parents in protest of the programme. Alum Rock Community Forum claims the school is "undermining of parental rights and aggressively promoting homosexuality," Birmingham Live reports. "Dialogue, petitioning and protests by parents have been repeated and arrogantly ignored," the forum adds. "Our children, Our Choice — Work with parents not against them."
