Fom the Daily Mail today...[I know].....but
Muslims' fury forces schools to shelve anti-homophobia storybooks for 5-year-olds

By LAURA CLARK - More by this author » Last updated at 08:45am on 2nd April 2008
Two primary schools have withdrawn storybooks about same-sex relationships after objections from Muslim parents.
Up to 90 gathered at the schools to complain about the books which are aimed at pupils as young as five.

Having read the entire article...I am wondering just where the PC police are.....
The parents are clearly breaking the Law...but what has happened? No visits from the Police [as happened with a. Foster Parents and b. Christians "attempting" to promote "Hetrosexuality"]
Just that the "Schools" have withdrawn the books....

Think it's shocking myself if true, but the fact that there are these anti-homophobia books in schools for 5 year olds is the sort of thing that would normally have the Daily Mail and it's readership frothing at the mouth.

Strange new world we live in where you have you the "stupid" left supporting homophobic, misogynists like Muslims and now Right wing hangers and floggers championing "liberal" views on sexuality.

There was a similar hoo-ha about 20 years ago with a children's storybook called someting like, "Jane lives with Peter and Mark". "Daily Mail" readers were up in arms that this book was being given to young children to read.

It wasn't. This book, and I suspect the ones featured in this brouhaha, are designed for use by teachers to help children who are in this situation to understand what's going on. The books are not meant to be available to all children freely.

Perhaps these schools and the parents should be offered a book that helps the children to deal with growing up in a family of one father and four mothers?

If something is correct, it is correct. and does not contradict anything else that is correct.

If something is not correct it may contradict, or it may agree with something else that is not correct.

If something is not correct, it may still be accepted if it can be described as politically correct.

So two politically correct statements can contradict one another.

I've always held the view that if something is political it simply can not be ''correct!''

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Do I have to actually read the article to find out what law they broke?

The muslims have got it right for once. Brain-washing 5-year olds into this warm/fuzzy fad concept is sickening.

Quote:

The parents are clearly breaking the Law

More to the point, the facilitators of the school are over-stepping their mandate and breaking their trust with the parents of the children.

If a parent wants his child growing up with a sense of morals and values, it's up to him/her to instill them in the child him/herself. That's what parenting used to be about. State-sponsored moral and ethical values instilled into 5 year old children? You've got to be kidding.

The people who want homosexuality embraced by all and sundry from the days of kindergarten onwards as a wonderful expression of free and "natural" love no doubt still complain when the lack of moral fibre in today's society leads to moral decay and crime including violence towards gays.

The same people telling the kiddies that having a Christmas theme at school for the poor little bastards who look forward to little else for months is "too Christian".

Who gave these local bureaucrats the mandate to promote and enforce their own brand of virtues and morals to a bunch of 5-year olds?

The fact that muslims have a sense of values is not the issue. (The fact that they enforce their values with stonings, hangings, honour killings, etc is defintely an issue.)

It is an interesting and amusing paradox for anyone who loathes political correctness and all it stands for that those who espouse freedom for minorities (such as muslims who, themselves, refuse to accept minority status) are now at odds with the most vociferous of those for whom they stood. But muslims are no strangers to the concept of turning on their allies or even themselves.

The left-wing "progressives" who are more concerned with human rights than ethics or morals and who have overseen the giving-away of so much to the demands of the islamic immigration wave have just had their first taste of the new morals code which is beginning to be felt in the UK.

Ah, nothing like a Daily Hatred article to get the wind up the backs of the islamophobic homophobics.

The sky isn't falling, people.

I want to file an official complaint against all this harrassment I perceive to be receiving from all these Heterophobics!

I no longer feel free to practice heterosexual activity with my partner of the opposite sex! Society does not seem to accept or condone it!

Pleased you used the newspeak term "Partner" Mr C, the words "Wife" or "Girlfriend" will be regarded as verbalised thought crime and be forbidden next year and usage of said speakcrime terms "Wife" or "Girlfriend" in public is liable to attract the attention of a armed response vehicle,and a session in room 101.

I distinctly remember being brainwashed with stories about a couple of middle class kids who had dogs and ponies and whose father built swings in trees in the garden and took them sailing and such like. Made me feel properly deprived it did. All middle class values should be left out of the class room, along with religion and sex. Parents are responsible for such matters, not schools.

Having traced the story to its new location at: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1770 , I read "Muslims' fury forces schools to shelve anti-homophobia storybooks for 5-year-olds " to mean it was to be available in the libraries. This contrasts with the text "Two primary schools have withdrawn storybooks about same-sex relationships after objections from Muslim parents", the exact opposite. Do newspapers not write bloody English these days? although I do believe it qualifies for American.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

what about her sister?

Gay?

Sorry to introduce a slight thread drift but can anyone explain why a perfectly good english word, which in past times was used to describe a feeling of being happy and carefree, was hijacked by people who my Dad described as homos or poofters?

Can't we find them another word so we can restore the rightful meaning.

That way I can read Guy Gibson's 'Enemy Coast Ahead' without cringeing!

A perfect opportunity to apply the law of relativity.

I'm writing a book at the moment. It's called.

"Timmy lives in a f***ed up world where Religious Morons and Politically Correct tw*ts can define how normal people live"

The sequel will be called.

"Watch out Sarah, your neighbour wants to cut your head off with a bread knife, just because you don't believe in their imaginary friend"

How about showing Carry on up the Kyber in allschools where the local ragheads are portrayed as rather silly people that drop to their knees and pray every time someone says " Mustafaleak"
