Gay School Books Outrage UK Faiths

If they really want an understanding to exist, they should teach it separately away from mainstream classes. If the parents want the kids to learn, then they can go to those. But its not fair for all the students to have to learn if the parents object to it. Its just a bit too much. Replacing simple fairytales to one of homosexuality? Comeon. And we all know kids. Trying to act out stuff from whatever they read, hear, learn, see etc.. Thats a very delicate stage where the child is still growing and learning. Not a very smart approach.

Precisely. Especially at the age of 5.
 
I wonder if Muslims who don't like this will move out, or just let it go on dispite them not liking it.

Ya, it is a bit much but I really like:

I just think we need to do a lot to counter all the homophobic hate messages we see. It gives me great concern when other wise good people talk about justifying killing someone because of there sexual orentation.

i agree with you, but there is such a thing as appropriateness and timing.
as strider pointed out, this would be better done when the child is old enough to understand and not in the form of dosages of revised and "corrected" versions cinderalla stories.

I understand where you are coming from and i agree that there is nothing wrong with lettig children know there are people living alternative lifestyles, but bringing a law in and promoting the homosexual lifestyle in subtle ways as through fairytales isn't the way to go. Primary socialisation of children through the education system is extremely important and preventing parents from choosing what their child is exposed to from such an early age is wrong.

Introducing such an optional scheme at a later date in a childs life i wouldn't really have an objection to.

It seams that we are making final judgments with basically no real knowledge. I assume the material being presented is appropriate for the age group. I think you are assuming something different. So the real problem is that we are assuming. :?

PS: Snakelegs, I think this also covers your concerns.
 
This sounds similar to a series that started on HBO called "Fairy Tales for Every Child". It retold old fairy tales with non-white characters. I realize racial and moral questions are different, but we must all come to grips with the fact that alternative lifestyles aren't going anywhere, and are in fact increasing. Increasing because more homosexuals feel comfortable coming out in the open. Homosexuality is here to stay and has always been here. I understand the religious and moral concerns of people, because I feel the same way. However, our children will be exposed to the changes in our culture, regardless of what books they read. Perhaps this is something we will just have to accept and come to terms with.
 
This is disgusting metirial they teach at schools. I am against homosexuality practices around the globe. This is not race issues; I believe Allah keep mankind growing by having treditional couples (ex. Man and wife) spreading there seeds.Therefore this metirial should be ban from schools; the children will learn to loose there morals.

Another hate message. This is why education is necessary.
 
I find the whole islam/jewish/christian anti-homosexuality messageto be bigotted and generally wrong. So when I see things like this it just gives me a perverse satisfaction. I like seeing homophobes squirm just as I like seeing racists surrounded by people of the race they dislike.

Its just fun for me to see. I've even pretended to be homosexual a couple of times to make some homophobes uncomfortable. I think that may be wrong of me, maybe even cruel, but it is the truth.
 
i wonder if all the children in the world learn this and decide that they like it and want to do it, then would they be happy that there will be no future for mankind?

I suppose a few years down the road they would probably be ok with sexual relations between siblings or sexual relation between man and beast etc.
 
:sl:
I personally think it is wrong to expose kids as young as 4 to the concept of homosexuality..as it is, at that age kids tend to think it 'disgusting' to hang out with kids of the opposite gender, what if that feeling remains and is 'intensified' by the 'No Outsiders' project?
:w:

Nope! Straight as an arrow. I just don't see the need to hate others. Plus I'm a huge supporter of equal rights.

If they go against the order of god, then it is between them and god.
