Primary school LGBT diversity lessons to stop after parents protest against classes
Parkfield Community School in Birmingham, UK, on Thursday announced its No Outsiders project will no longer be taught in primary school until "a resolution has been reached." The statement comes despite inspectors from the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted) ruled previously the project was appropriate for children.
The decision came shortly after rampant protests from outraged parents, who claimed that they were not age-appropriate. The Birmingham school had previously released a statement, saying the diversity lessons would continue as normal after the Easter holidays. According to the campaign, the project teaches tolerance of diverse groups, including those of different races, genders and sexual orientation, the Daily Mail reported.
